Yes you’re over your mistakes but did you deal with them in such a way that the memories won’t get to you. You’ve moved on and you’re focused on the future but then you get unwanted nostalgia, not the nostalgia you get from hearing the theme song from your favourite childhood cartoon but nostalgia that makes you feel like you are still the childish, gullible guy or girl from 5 years ago.  There I was minding my business when I got a text from a past friend, my friend from my forgotten life sent me a picture of myself and just that picture gave me memories, mind you it’s a normal picture ..read more

We’re all human spongecakes when it comes to matters of the heart, we’re soft, gullible and weak. We surrender to love so fast, we have to understand that having feelings is inevitable. I remember having a conversation with someone way older than me and a term was used over and over “Emotional Intelligence” when this term was defined it made me ask myself a lot of questions. My older friend defined emotional intelligence as not allowing your emotions get the best of you, he said I shouldn’t show how weak I can be, then he asked me if I think I’m emotionally intelligent, I was speechless becau ..read more

Do you ever feel like letting out what’s bothering you and then ask yourself if it’s necessary to talk about your problems to someone? Do you ever vent to someone and say what you’re not meant to say? Okay let’s break this term down, Venting basically means letting something out, in this context venting is letting out strong emotions to someone or yourself, sometimes I talk to myself but for me I just don’t feel complete when I’m venting to my shower head so I decided to talk to people more and open up more. Story time!! I have been through some emotional stuff and I used keep things to mysel ..read more

When we lose people because of an argument or a major misunderstanding we completely shut down and build a wall of hate around us, we say we don’t want to have anything to do with them and we remember the bad things he/she did, we never remember the good times. That person you are ignoring because of a misunderstanding once made you smile, that person you completely shut out of your life was your go to person to share your feelings with, so when we lose people in our lives let’s remember later on that those people made us happy before they caused pain, before anything disappointing happened y ..read more

As young people, we are pressured to do well academically, we are pressured to get married before 35, we are pressured to make it in life. My parents don’t pressure me that much but the society does, we see people on social media living great lives and we want to be like them, no-one wants to be a failure but the pressure to be something is too much, it often makes me scared and overthink things, I just think about the future with fear, the fear of not having enough money, the fear of not getting married to the right person, the fear of not being able stand with my peers and say what I do beca ..read more

As far as people are concerned youths have nothing to think about so why get sad from thinking, they feel we aren’t meant to be lost in thoughts or get emotionally stressed because all they see us do is go to school and stay on social media. They don’t know the stress I get from just school, they don’t know how hard I try yet I don’t get the grades I try for, this is enough for me go into an endless loop of ruminating which would make matters worse. We should try to think about the now and not stress, when we worry about the future we start overthinking and our mind is bombarded with usel ..read more

Imagine trying your best and some teacher tells you you’ll never make it, imagine trusting someone and finding out that the person doesn’t see you as anything. These are things that happen to teenagers in real life, most people don’t know how to deal with these things, as small as they may be they cause damage to our mental health. The smallest things lead to the biggest problems, these small incidents creates a void in us that grows bigger and bigger if we don’t handle it, that void is the result of our silence eating us up, the worst pain is the one you deal with on your own, its like a wou ..read more

Dear girls or guys that have hurt someone one way or the other, How do you feel sleeping at night knowing that someone is battling the thought of death within themselves ? Was it cool when you told her she has small boobs? Was it nice when you cheated on him and he was deep in love with you? You’re living your best life when someone is on their bed crying at 2am, thinking of every mistake they’ve ever made. They are going through war within themselves, contemplating opening up to anyone. They feel empty and useless, they feel confused and worthless but you are busy switching from app to app a ..read more

Teenagers are used to texting that is why most of us don’t know how to keep a conversation in person , we are more comfortable talking to people online because they can’t see us, we sometimes text each other when we’re in the same room. This reliance to our phones as a means of communication has made most teenagers bad at eye contact, develop social anxiety and so on. We find it hard to engage in real time talk because we rely on our screens to hide our actual emotions, we are more comfortable texting than engaging in face to face conversation, I’m not talking about FaceTime, your poor connec ..read more
