The Start - Introduction of a 5 part blog.

Good Day Friends!
How are you all doing? It has been a while since I last updated any blog posts. Hopefully you are all doing well. Things have been really busy and stressful for me, and so I've hardly had the time to even be online.

Lately, I've realized how empty life can be. I see my friends suffer from isolation, depression, anxiety and loss of hope and motivation. I see fear in the eyes of those I speak with on topics of trust. As suggested by a friend at my University, these next few blog posts will be a bit of a trend on Emptiness, Trust, Love and Hope. We came up with the idea together, and maybe she will come and write one of the parts herself. I'd like to speak to all four areas of this and simply bring out some questions you may have never asked yourself. I'm hoping to be able to express these aspects of life through short essays, poems, stories, and/or songs. Please look forward to them! To start it off, here is an introduction.

A Struggle for Survival in an Inconstant World

Introduction

As infants, psychologically the first thing we seek in our developmental stages is trust between the ages of 0-2, given by our care givers (whether that be a nanny, relative or parents). Since birth, trust plays a factor in our lives. However, not everyone enters the world to be received by worldly love. Yet even those who do; what happens? A world filled with: emptiness, lack of trust, loss of love, diminishing hope, has no light to shine and no future to offer - or does it? Do we bring suffering upon ourselves or are other people just constantly attacking us? Regardless of your answer now, know things change. Like caterpillars that morph into butterflies, like the day turns into the night, or the shift of a high to low tide; there is adventure and beauty in it all. But most of all, regardless of the change, one can extract from it strength. In this five part blog, I hope we can venture through the changes and discoveries of emptiness, trust, love and hope together. See you on the other side ~~

Thanks for being such dedicated friends, fellow bloggers, and blog readers. Here are few songs for you. They were the inspiration behind this 5 part blog. Enjoy :)
