I am so glad that I can have this space to share my thoughts with fellow citizens who are interested in leading a meaningful and satisfying life. Who may find this blog helpful? You will find out below.
I was born and raised in a big family with four older sisters in rural areas of northeastern China. I had an acute intellectual development in early ages but somehow the emotional development was hindered. Starting from my early twenties, my parents passed away with two years apart before I was able to emotionally bond with them on a deeper level, and I emotionally wandered about afterwards until now–early thirties.
There were numerous times that I needed a trustworthy source for decisions that I need to make, but I wasn’t able to find people with similar experiences to relate to. So here I am starting this blog hoping to help people who may feel lost in their lives for any reasons and hoping that they can find some inspiration. I want to tell you that there is always hope. I am now a scientist at a national laboratory in the US. As I am striving to understand myself and the world around me, I am emotionally evolving in an exponentially pace every day. The journey was not as easy as it seems. Sometimes I thrive two steps but would stumble and backtrack three steps. However I believe we can always make progresses as long as we never give up. Please hold on to yourself and reach out for help.
Scott Peck started the first chapter of the book <The road less traveled>: life is difficult. And I completely agree with it. Sure, there are moments when life presents you with the indescribable joy and bliss, or there are moments that you see others laugh and relax like everything was so perfect for them, but you cannot deny the fact that life is hard and it is those difficult times in life that makes the happy moments more cherish-able. And just like you have difficult times in life, others are no different in this matter. It is just that whenever we are happy, we tend to forget that we had bad times. The ironical thing is sometimes, when life is hard, we also forget about the good times that we had as well.
Writing gives me peace and clarity. But it is hard to get into the habit of writing, especially when the schedule is too tight to cut out a block of time or when life is stressful that it is hard to focus on writing. But I think of those times when I wished there was a web source that I can fully relate and trust, I am motivated to share more frequently. so here it is, for those who don’t have experienced emotional hinderances at a younger age, or lacking a good role model in their lives or those who were lost in any way or orphaned as young adults. I also don’t exclude the possibilities that people who don’t have those experiences may find this blog helpful as well especially if it can provide different perspectives.
This blog is going to include any topics related to emotional health, physical health or any issues that I think can help a person thrive in a well-round way. Hope you find it useful. Cheers!
Happy Healthy Helping
