What Happens?

What happens to us after we die?

(These are the responses I received to this discussion today)

…

“I’d like to think we disperse our energy or matter into whatever or wherever we most admired or connected with.”

“When we die there are 7 seconds of brain activity, and for reference when we dream our brain is active for a fraction of a second, so my theory is that either we re-live our life over and over, or it’s just one big dream that lasts forever essentially giving us what we want.”

“I’m a believer in God, and I believe that when we die, our souls go to Heaven to be with Him. I believe that we find ultimate peace and unending love in this afterlife.”

“I believe that we are actually all the same person, and not just people but animals and plants too, and therefore all of life is perfectly fair because every good or bad thing we do we just do to ourselves.”

“I think that we reach our paradise; How? I’m not sure. But, I just know that we will find peace.”

“I believe that mother-nature rules over us and that there is this delicate balance in the universe that can be upset. I believe in karma and that everything happens for a reason. When we die, I believe all our actions are accounted for and we will be judged on how we respected this balance and how we treated nature.”

“In my perspective, when we die, we are reborn into another being. This is where the strange feelings of familiarity and memories of things we haven’t experienced come from.”

“I’m into the idea that if we have unfinished business, we can’t pass through into the afterlife until it is resolved.”

What are your theories??

Monsters

As a child, I used to think there were monsters under my bed. As I grew older, these monsters seemed to disappear. Little did I know, they were still there. These monsters were in my head, only they were real this time. Although, they weren’t the kind of monster that grabbed your feet and pulled you under the bed. They were the kind that dwelled within you and fed you poison, lies, and hate. They made you fear things, hate yourself, and hate the world. These monsters were the same monsters I once feared, but now they were real demons inside me.

Something a little different… Thoughts??

Is Your Soul Tired?

Are there ever days where you wake up and just feel tired and worn out for no apparent reason? Days where you don’t want to get out of bed, where you don’t feel particularly happy, but then you don’t really have any reason to be sad? Days where you feel less motivated, or are less passionate about the things you normally care about?

I believe that a lot of people feel this way at times. They don’t know why they feel this way, but they do. Sometimes it can make them feel guilty, because they know there’s no reason why. Day after day they put on a smile even though they don’t really mean it. They pretend that everything is fine, although something isn’t quite right, they just can’t put a finger on it…

“Sleep doesn’t help, if it’s your soul that’s tired.”

-a wise soul

I found this quote and I feel that it speaks to this scenario. I believe that in these moments where you feel tired or sad for no apparent reason, it may be because of your soul rather than your physical body. Your soul has lost its energy and needs restoration. Unlike your body, damage to your soul is much more difficult to pin-point. It could be because of a number of reasons, or just one thing that you’re holding onto deep within; maybe something you are refusing to acknowledge. You could still be able to function normally, but that doesn’t mean you are fine from within.

Soul loss:

“Whenever we suffer a physical or emotional trauma it is said that a part of our soul flees the body in order to survive the experience. With every cut and wound, our essence and vitality grows weaker. This process is called ‘Soul Loss’.

When we experience Soul Loss, we begin experiencing feelings of weakness, fatigue, depression, anxiety, and emptiness. We just know that something is missing from our lives, but many of us struggle to discover what exactly that is.

Addictions, eating disorders, identity disorders, post traumatic stress, depression, codependency, narcissism, low self-esteem, and adjustment disorders are all common causes for Soul Loss.”

-Mateo Sol

I’m tired.

I really resonated with this article and I believe many others will as well.

I’m tired.

I’m so tired. I’m tired of painting a smile on my face. I’m tired of rejection. I’m tired of trying to explain who I am to people I’ve known my whole life. I’m tired of trying to be a neutral party when one side is so clearly out of line.

I’m tired of everything that I say being wrong. I’m tired of everything that I do not being enough. I’m tired of ending up on the losing end of every discussion. I’m just tired of talking. I’m tired of consistently falling short of everyone’s expectations. If they don’t know me, why do they get to have expectations of me?

I’m tired of considering their feelings when they never consider mine. I’m tired of being told there’s nothing wrong with me, that I’m just making it up. I’m tired of hearing ‘you’re not anxious, you’re just overdramatic’. I’m tired of being told ‘just cheer up’.

I’m so tired of being constantly watched. I don’t need to be inspected and I definitely don’t want my every move, my every action judged. I would love it if people could just let me be… leave me alone…

I’m tired of people taking advantage of me. I’m tired of everyone always wanting help from me but never wanting to help me.

I’m just tired.

A Wasted Life?

What do you consider a wasted life? And do you ever fear the thought of regrets later in life?

A starting opinion: “For me, a wasted life is ignorance. The less you know, the less you are able to handle and contribute to basic social interactions. Staying in a box is a wasted life. And I believe the key to few regrets in life is just simply to live and learn.”

Do you agree with this statement? And what is your own opinion??

The Choice

Happiness is an emotion that can come and go very quickly or stick around for a little while; it all depends on the situation and its circumstances. Nevertheless, I believe that it mostly depends on us, whether we really want that happiness to stay or not. We might all say that we do, but then something happens and we sort of just lose that happiness. Yet, I think we can choose to keep it longer if we really want to. But, that means we can’t let other circumstances affect us negatively, because that’s where the problem begins. We can choose to be happy no matter what happens however, it can be a very difficult choice. And sometimes that choice comes with sacrifice, but often times when you really look at it, that sacrifice is worth it. Though there will always be things that can temporarily rob us of happiness, we always have the choice to change the situation and bring back that happiness.

But, sometimes looking at things from this perspective can be hard. Even though we have the choice, it doesn’t make it easier. Choosing happiness is hard, and the sacrifices that come with that can make or break a person. So, rather that focusing on choosing happiness, try looking at it as thinking positively. Finding the good in a bad or broken situation. We can’t choose how we feel, but we can choose how we think about the situation. Instead of focusing so much on being happy, we should be focusing on how we can make the most of our lives. And that means embracing the happy with the sad, the triumph with the failure, and each and every moment of our lives, because they are what define us.
