Me And Post Trauma
Mind Body Network

At one point of their lives everyone has experienced that has made them to be more careful about future experiences. For example, post trauma is a scary thing such that it affects the way person's interactions and the way they view live in general. For those who been in car accidents, it may affect the way how a person drives. Depending on the severity of the accident, some may not to even drive or ride in a vehicle ever again. Recently I have been in a car accident, and it has made me not even wanting to drive through backroads again. Just the fact being in an accident made me question whether should I drive again or should I just move on and make sure that doesn't happen again. It caused me to have a flashback when a friend got into a wreck, and I was a passenger. I was riding on the way home from school, and my friend took a turn without looking and he was hit on his right side. His right rear was severely damaged. Luckily the SUV did not hit the door I was in , for it may not have been a good outcome. What took place made think about the "what ifs". I really didn't talk as much as I usually did for a week. It is common that some people don't care about other people's experiences until they are too effected by it. The post trauma is serious it does change lives. But it is up to the person experiencing it to whether make some negative or positive from the situation. Those who experience life threatening situations should not let those situations keep them down, for they have a lot to live for

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.

College Informations

Most of us have already started the spring semester, and for those of you who haven't started yet, you suck.

It seems like coming back from winter break wouldn't really be a break all things considered, since we all come back to school and pick up right where we left off. We know exactly what to expect, yet we're unprepared every single time.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet.

And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.
