Why it is sometimes hard to express ourselves?

Have you ever felt it was hard to express your emotions or feelings? Some feelings  such as love, ire or sadness are difficult to show. If we know the reasons why it happens, we can solve it.
Habitually, when we keep something to ourselves, it leads to depression and strees. What to do? Below I will write three steps to get over this situation.

1. Be confident
A low esteem brings the incapacity of expressing feelings, since the person thinks he/she has not the right to ask for anything. Also they think that people are not interested in them, so they think their opinions are not interesting to others. Therefore, they choose to keep things. If a person don't think they are valuable, it is not worth to express to the world. We must remember every person is unique and everybody has the right of expressing their feelings.

2. Have esteem
Do not give all for lost. This is a negative thought. People think that although express their opinion or how they feel, there not will be solution. Hence, the person get demotivated. This lack of hope can bring big discomforts and problems because without a positive and optimistic attitude, people fall in stagnation and resignation and they just know to complain. People should express what they feel without fearing of rejection. Every person has their own way of thinking and we have to respect them.

3. Nobody is perfect
The perfectionism is a bad election in this issue. People make mistakes. Thus, this is an irracional feeling if we think we must be perfect, since there is no human who doesn't feel bad in determined time. Do not be afraid of expressing your emotions. Store and hide what one's feel could damaged health in a long time. If it is unable to express themselves in a trusty atmosphere, at least write and draw out all the negativity felt.

7 REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD TRAVEL

1. Escaping from the grind .
All of us hate routins, monotonous days and feeling stuck in the middle of our life. We need a change and we don't know why and when. First of all, think there is no hour and there is no days, you choose the destiny and the time.




2. The nicest feeling of the absolute freedom.
You don't need advice from people around you all the time. It is the desired time to feel free. No schedules, no commitments. Make real your plans and don't worry, you can change them at any time.

                                       

3. Learn new languages and improve what you already know.
It is moment to put into practice the languages you have been studying at school or university. Also, you will learn new ones. Learning a language is not only to know the grammar or the ortography but also to understand their idioms, their sense of humour and to wrap in their style of life. It is funny to know some words in each language.


                                       


4. Discover the wonderful people you have never met.
Being abroad around people you don't know will lead you to meet people in strange and unexpected situations. You will meet people that will change your life or even your mind. They can be anywhere.


                                         


5. Being independent in a unknown world.
This will help you to be more responsable. Here you have to make up by yourself if you want to get anything. How to discover a new place to visit, how to use the public transport, how to get a job or an accommodation... Every step you make you will feel proud. This will help you to value things you are getting by yourself. Likewise, we learn to be ingenous when we have to solve a problem.

                                       



6. Develop your abilities: be more generous.
In this type of trips, you will meet really friendly and nice people. Therefore, it is essential you know how to act. You can not be selfish if you want a positive experience in your travel. Thank people who share their experiences with you and help you in many aspects.

                                         
                                       

7. You will learn to know yourself and the others.
.As I said, a travel can change your mind and your life. You will ask who you are and who you want to be. Maybe, being abroad is the best time to make decisions because you are away from everything. At least, you are growing as a person. When you come back you are a different person, but actually you are the person you have never met, yourself.

The racism and the xenophobia

Nowadays, we are used to what we see everyday. However, the changes in our countries and lifes disturb our mind, especially if it happens close to you. People are sociable by nature but we do not realise what we are able to do when something is not good seen by us. The question is: ¿Why is not good seen? ¿Who said that? and ¿Why do we obey to them? I will never understand why people persist on hating different people that actually are people like us. The only difference is that they haven't got the same skin colour or they have differences in religions or customs. It is truth that many of them are sunk in poverty and illness due to the difficult conditions of life they have. It would be good for them to help them in order not to feel despised. I understand people who feel threatened when some foreign come to the country and it is normal they think they will get worse their wellness. They are only looking for a place to live moderately well. I consider black-skinned people or poor people are intellectually, socially and morally equal as us. They just have a bad condition of life and it is important that we know how to put ourselves in their place to understand them. Besides, a solution for this issue is difficult to find. However, like we are afraid of unknown things, we could get closer of these things and realise how wrong we were. Reading books or on the Internet, travelling and meeting these people is the best thing to do to discover they are better than our mind can imagine.

Ernest Hemingway

Ernest Miller Hemingway is one of my favourite writers. Hemingway was an American author and journalist. His economical and understated style had a strong influence on 20th-century fictio. His life of adventure and his public image influenced later generations. He published seven novels, six short story collections, and two non-fiction works as well as additional works published posthumously. Many of his works are considered classics of American literature.
 I like this author because I studied him last year and I read one of his more important works: "The Old Man and the Sea" written in 1952. Later, he won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1954. The work has two central themes. On the one hand, it is inspired by a true story occurred in 1935: an old man who fight against a big fish and sharks; On the other hand, the story is full of symbolism and epic sense: it represents the fight of the man with the life and nature which he faces with his weapons: the expertise and the technical. The secondary themes are: the danger, the friendship, the hope, the bravery, the loneliness, the humility and the human dignity. Moreover, the work transmites to the reader a lot of values. Desafortunately, he committed suicide in 1961 due to depression and healthy problems.
Finally, the writer also frequented the famous Festival of San Fermin in Pamplona, Spain. Some Hemingway's quotes that I like are: “It's good to have an end to journey to; but in the end it's the journey that matters.”; “The best way to find out if you can trust somebody is to trust them.”; and “An intelligent man is sometimes forced to be drunk to spend time with fools.”

Social networks: pros/cons

Social networks are having great importance in today's society. These days people are used to surf on the Internet and they use social networks every time more. Social networks give us the opportunity of meet new people or back to talk to old friends you thought you would never come back to know about them. Moreover, there are social networks to search relationships or just friendships. By social networks people usually disseminate information to people to know some issue in particular such us: missing people, advertisement, some people movement and even the strikes are said by them. On the contrary there are many cons in this issue, above all in young people. Children and teenagers who use social networks are introduced in a cloud world where they don't realise it is not real. Maybe they meet people who are not like they say to be. Also, our information is public and someone could hurt us. There are hackers who dedicates their time to control people's nets. In conclusion, social networks has helped us in much aspects. However we should be careful with we upload and say by them.
