de - stress with the abc's !

Stress can be defined as the degree to which a person feels absolutely overwhelmed to the point where he/she is left unable to cope with the day(s) ahead (www.mentalhealth.org). This feeling is also induced by the periods of pressure or tension that the human brain goes through which can be highly blamed for overthinking. 

Although many of us may know what stress is, I've noticed that besides complaining about it, we fail to resist it. Stress may sound like a minor issue that may leave on its own, but in reality, if it is not dealt with in its early stages, it can result in major effects, leading to other mental health problems such as depression and anxiety in the long run.

Powerful Influences: Tamil Heritage Month

  Tamil Heritage Month is observed every January in Canada. Since 2016, the month of January has been dedicated to the Tamil community in order to raise awareness and appreciation for all of the Tamil peoples achievements and contributions up to this point in day.

the very essence of humanity

  Human rights are characterized as a collection of basic human rights and fundamental freedoms which, despite race, class, sex, ethnicity, and nationality, are entitled to every human being. These rights shield us from immorality and are protected by both municipal and international law from the day we are born until the day we breath our last.⁣ ⁣ Human right violations on the other hand can be defined as a form of failure caused by a country or a state to ensure the protection of our basic human rights and fundamental freedoms.

Pondering Upon the Bliss of Existence

It’s insane to hear my immigrant parents tell me this over and over again: that we live in a peaceful, democratic society, with many privileges at hand, and that our only goal is to make them proud by becoming really successful. The trauma that they’ve been through is legit, it’s lively, it has never vanished. It’s what makes them speak like such – after all, they'd obviously want nothing other than a better life for their children. But the trauma we go through is never spoken about. Why? Expectations. Obligations. Respect. We are often led by hand to fulfill the expectations of others, obey the elderly, and to always show respect. This puts us like myself at a disadvantage. I’m sure you’d be able to relate when I ask you to think about the following: When you work so hard to please others around you and make them proud, do you fail to look after yourself and most importantly, your happiness? When you work so hard to please others around you and make them proud,
