The Dreams and the Deadlines

Image
The Dreams and the Deadlines Hi...I’m working in an IT company now. From the outside, everything looks okay. I go to work, I have a salary, and I’m doing what people would call “settled.” But honestly? I don’t feel settled at all. Some days I wake up and wonder – is this it? Is this what I studied for? Is this the life I was waiting for all these years? This feeling – of being stuck, of not knowing what to do next – it’s something I didn’t expect so early. I thought mid-life crisis happens when people are in their 30s or 40s. But here I am, in my 20s, already feeling it. It’s not like i hated studying I studied. I didn’t skip things. I attended college, did online classes during COVID, and finished what I had to do. It wasn’t always easy, but I did it. I followed the path that everyone says is “safe.”  And now, I’m working. I’ve got what many people around me are still looking for – a job. But even with that, I feel empty sometimes. Like I’m just going through the motions. Wake...

Unveiling the Neurochemistry of Heartbreak: A Breakup's Odyssey

Image
A Breakup's Odyssey Breakups, the emotional earthquakes of life, leave us grappling with a rollercoaster of feelings. Beyond the tears and heartache lies a complex interplay of hormones within our brains. In this in-depth exploration, we'll decipher the neurochemical reactions during a breakup and the stages of grief, along with some insights into recovery strategies. Understanding Hormones: The human brain's love affair with love is deeply rooted in the release of two powerful chemicals: Dopamine and Oxytocin . These chemicals create a euphoric feeling, driving us to seek and experience love. However, when a relationship ends, the brain undergoes a drastic shift. Cortisol , the stress hormone, and Epinephrine , the fight-or-flight neurotransmitter, take center stage, activating the brain's craving and addiction processing centers. A breakup launches Cortisol into overdrive, triggering a stress response akin to facing a physical threat. The body's response to a bre...

Understanding Relationships: Needs, Differences, and Happiness

Image
Understanding Relationships- Needs, Differences, and Happiness A question sparks in my mind, and I've been thinking about it for some time: why do people get into relationships? My mind gives me answers: people enter relationships for many reasons, such as companionship, emotional support, shared experiences, and the desire for intimacy. Relationships provide a platform for personal growth, understanding, and connection with others. These motivations can vary widely among individuals based on their needs, values, and life goals. Well, I think the key idea here is their needs. People get involved in relationships to address their needs. We can look at these needs on four different levels: physical, psychological, social, and spiritual. First, we talk about physical needs, like being taken care of, providing food, shelter, and safety. These are things we all went through as babies. The relationships we had back then were critical to our survival, and we still depend on quite a few ot...
