Human psychology is a fascinating science, ripe for exploration. Dive into literature, delve into research, and most importantly, observe the intricate details of your surroundings. The reality that surrounds you will offer countless enlightening insights.

Feeling a tad unsettled, aren't we? Well, that's just life – complex and unpredictable, yet undeniably shared by each and every one of us.Some among us shrink from asserting ourselves, while others opt for silence in the face of others' suffering. But in essence, we're all cut from the same cloth: eyes often shut, hands bound, and minds veiled in self-imposed darkness.I'm not urging you to take up arms; rather, I implore you to awaken your faculties, to recognize your intrinsic rights as an individual. I'm not urging you to wield weapons for self-preservation; I simply urge you to exercise your intellect. I'm not asking you to morph into a superhero; I'm urging you, at the very least, to acknowledge the pain of others and endeavor, to the best of your ability, to alleviate it. Do what you can.We all possess our own capabilities, and I simply implore you to operate within them. I'm not expecting overnight transformations; I'm merely urging you to take that first step. We've all been victims in one form or another, as have those around us. Depression, bigotry, hatred, discrimination, abuse... the list is exhaustive.Yet, by merely opening your eyes, allowing your mind to explore, and permitting your heart to navigate towards positivity, you can initiate change. Your actions needn't be monumental; they simply must contribute positively to your well-being and that of others.If you foster inner positivity, nothing can shatter you. You'll be impervious to causing harm to others. You'll be unstoppable in aiding those who suffer. I'm not asking for much; I'm merely urging you to embrace positivity, vitality, optimism, philanthropy – to become a better version of yourself, to seek contentment.If we were all internally happy, we'd be equipped to confront life's challenges head-on. We'd demonstrate to adversaries that nothing can break us. We'd lead rather than lag.So, open your eyes. Seek out positivity in your life, for it holds the key to your future and that of others. Search diligently, as I did, and you'll emerge transformed. No longer the person in that snapshot. More positive than ever before. I've peeled back the blindfold, ready to face my challenges head-on, to advocate for myself and others.When I embarked on my writing journey, I discovered that nothing imbued me with more positivity than penning down my observations. Each platform I explored, facilitated a unique chapter in my journey. I may be nothing more than a fledgling writer, my prose perhaps considered juvenile by some, but this budding scribbler is learning to observe her surroundings.To notice those undergoing breakdowns akin to mine. To empathize with those who've faced dejection, depression, and adversity. This newfound sensitivity hasn't just brought me closer to my spiritual beliefs; it's widened my perspective. Today, I navigate life's challenges with a newfound positivity.Ten years from now, I may chuckle at my earlier works' immaturity. Yet, that laughter will be tinged with gratitude for the amateur writer who instilled in me a sense of empathy. Who made me realize that I'm not alone in my struggles, and that overcoming fears and challenges is a collective endeavor.I extend heartfelt gratitude to all who've supported me on this journey. Though they may never fully comprehend their impact, I'll share this sentiment: in Spring 2016, during an interview, I was asked to reflect on my greatest achievement. I spoke my journey as an anonymous scribbler.When sometimes people reach out to express gratitude for my words, to find solace and hope in my musings, I feel a profound sense of fulfillment. Helping someone, albeit from behind a computer screen, fills me with immense satisfaction.Search for your own source of positivity, and use it to disseminate uplifting vibes wherever you go.

Human psychology is a science worthy to be explored, sink into literature, immerse yourself into research. But above all open your eyes to the minutest details around yourself, and the reality that encompasses you will enlighten you in innumerable ways.

Startled a bit? Well this is me. And this is you too.
This is each and every single one of us.Some of us are too afraid to stand up for ourselves. Some of us prefer silence when we see others suffer. We're all the same. Eyes closed, hands tied back and the mind? Well we've shut it down ourselves. I'm not asking for you to wage a war. I'm asking you to open your eyes, to recognize your rights as an individual. I'm not asking you to use a weapon for your protection, I'm merely asking you to use your mind. I'm not asking you to become a superhero, I'm asking you to at least recognize the pain of others and try your LEVEL BEST to ease it. Do anything you can.We all have our own capacities, and I'm only asking you to work within them. I'm not asking you to change overnight. I'm asking you to at least take a step. We're all victims of something, and so are those around us. Depression, bigotry, hatred, discrimination, abuse...the list can go on. At least open your eyes, let your mind think, let your heart guide you to positivity and then take an action. That action doesn't have to be big, it just has to be a positive contribution, to your well-being and those of others.If you are positive from within, nothing can break you apart. Nothing can cause you to harm another. Nothing can stop you from helping those who are being victimized. I'm not asking you to do much, I'm just asking you to turn to positivity, to liveliness, to optimism, to philanthropy, to being a better individual...to being more contended. If all us were happy from within, we would be prepared to face all that came our way. We'd show our enemy nothing can bring us down. We'd not fall behind, we'd lead people.So open your eyes and look for what brings positivity in your lives. Look for it because it is what will change your future and that of others. Look for it like I did and today I can say that I'm no longer the person in that picture. I'm more positive than I ever was. I have opened my eyes and removed that tape. I am prepared to face my troubles with open eyes and to speak for myself and for others.When I began blogging I realized nothing made me more positive than penning down everything I saw. It made me feel if even one person read what I wrote, I might just make that person realize something vital. From Instagram, to eBlogger, to Wattpad, I have I made quite a journey in this little time. I may just be a young scribbler who's opinions may clash with yours, who's probably writing down in the most childish ways she can. But this scribbler is learning to look around her. To look at people who go through breakdowns just like her. Who've been dejected, who've been through depression, who've not lead quite a simple life. This ability to recognize pain has not only brought me more closer to my Lord, but has opened my eyes so much that today I find myself a lot more positive in any situation than I ever was.Ten years later I may be laughing at my own work for being highly immature. But ten years later the person laughing will be so because this amateur writer within her taught her to look at others. To realize she's not the only who gets sad and those before, with and after her have, are and will fight with their fears and troubles, and she too has to do the same.I would like to thank everyone who encouraged me through my journey. My biggest supports will never know how much they've helped me progress this year but to sum it up I can tell you something.In Spring 2016 I was asked by a team of people, consider it a highly official sort of interview. They asked me what is the one achievement that I think is my biggest to date. I told them I'm a blogger and only my facebook friends know that I'm the person behind that blog. When someone other than them messages me on instagram and thanks me for writing something that made them realize they aren't alone, gave them a new hope to get back on track, nothing can leave me more contended than to help someone from behind a computer screen by merely typing a few words, someone who doesn't even know me. Make me feel more self-accomplished, more positive. Look around for your key to positivity, and use it to unlock the handful of positive vibes you can spread.
