Triumph VS Tragedy

When I was in hospital (I've been in a total of 7 times IIRC), I met a hopeless young man who would lie on the floor all day. When his friend came to visit, he would lament that the place was hell to stay in and that he hated everyone here. He was generally very negative. I remember turning to him and saying 'give us a chance. You might end up having fun with the people here' or something to that effect.

Same energy

Lo and behold, fast forward a few years later and he's getting married to the love of his life, that he met in the very same hell he wasn't willing to give a chance to at first. They are madly in love and the happiest kids I know on Facebook.

Now, fast forward a few years from when I first met them in a hopeless place, and I'm in the hospital again. This time, there is another blossoming romance. But alas, things never worked out because they both took their lives, one after the other.

Perhaps their lives would have been saved, if they had found solace in each other. Maybe, or maybe not. But to see these two stories unfold the way they did, I am happy for the married couple, yet tremendously sad for the wasted potential of the two lives, lost young.

May they find happiness and peace in the afterlife.

Abstract: Postpartum depression (PPD) affects approximately 13% of women globally 1 . While hormonal changes play a role, there’s growing interest in the spiritual dimension of childbirth. When the spiritual process of birth is interrupted—often due to medical interventions like cesarean sections—mothers may experience a profound sense of loss.

Introduction: Childbirth is a transformative event that encompasses physical, emotional, and spiritual dimensions. The spiritual aspect involves a deep connection between the mother, baby, and the universe. When this connection is disrupted, mothers may experience spiritual postpartum depression (SPD). SPD differs from conventional PPD, as it centers on the loss of a sacred bond during childbirth. The Exper...

The Deeper Meaning Behind Katy Perry's 'Roar'

The music video for "Roar" by Katy Perry showcases a powerful story of self-discovery and (surprisingly) spiritual transformation. In the video, Katy Perry is abandoned by her male companion in the jungle, leaving her to fend for herself in the wild.

This video symbolizes the spiritual journey that many people go through when they are faced with difficult or trying circumstances in their lives.

By embracing her surroundings, she discovers a new sense of power and strength within herself. This...
