I'M LOSING THE CHILD IN ME

 Hold on, I know what you're thinking, I'm speaking figuratively. And I'm a healthy black male in my mid 20s and male don't bare children. What I mean is that I'm losing that carefree spirit, that i-don't-care spirit that is found in children, that strong belief that everything will go your way. Or let's just say yes I'm in my early stage of transitioning from a boy to a man. How do I know this, that's because we are all dealing with reality. Things don't change unless we make the change, nothing happens unless we make it happen. I once saw in a post that women, children are loved for just existing but for a boy transitioned into a man has to always prove himself worthy of anything even love from his parents. For him is either success or no need for existance. But I love being older now, I remember when I was much younger I couldn't wait to grow up so I could have control of my life and people will stop telling me what to do and I'm more handsome with my facial hair. Gosh! I love my facial hair.
   So you can't control peoples emotion but you can control yours, I'm talking to the male in their early transitioning from boys to men. If you ask me how I live in a society that neglects the emotions of men, I have very few but solid friends that we can talk about every and anything, friends that I can be vulnerable with : I fall apart and put myself back together without being judged or spited. I Read books (I've talked about reading books and how I cultivated a reading habit in the previous blog), listen to conscious music e.g raggae music, it's very educative and very spot on with the social issues going on around us. Meditate, time alone is very essential to me, that's when I have time to make reflections on issues of life and also recharge my energy. All these didn't happen by chance, it takes consciousness to know what works for you and what brings you peace of mind. I'm not perfect like I've said before, there are days I feel like I'm the most irresponsible person on Earth but life goes on, everyone breaks down but you must keep moving.

MEMO

" I have found that “forgetting” is an important part of learning, particularly if I want to learn something deeply, gaining an intuitive understanding rather than just superficial facts. I immerse myself in studying something and then at a certain point my brain says “no more!” and it becomes stressful and I don’t seem to be making any progress. So I leave it for a few days (or weeks, or months) and then come back to it when it is no longer stressful (the right time seems to be when I start dreaming about it). Then I may have forgotten many of the surface details but I find it is so much easier to understand and remember the material and I can go further before I reach the “no more!” point again. It is as though my brain is doing a huge amount of reorganizing, unconsciously, during those interstitial times. Traditional learning does not usually give you the opportunity to take breaks when you need them. "        - KAIA " O gosh, that describes me too. I think...

KEYSTONE HABIT

    Reading, studying shouldn't be forced. It can't be forced. It's voluntary, it's something that you do naturally,out of curiosity.You only need that trigger event that would make you not only cultivate a reading habit but it would spread across other areas of your life. Let me tell you my own story, early in my 20s I was lost, in the sense that I didn't know or have purpose. I wake up everyday angry and frustrated,my mom always nagging me, friends that I thought would be in my life for ever had left me not even answering my calls or replying my messages. That really broke me. Long story short, I fell into depression at age 21, mehn it was scary at first like really scary, I didn't know it was depression because I've never been depressed before so I didn't know what was wrong with me. I just knew that things don't excite me anymore even things I can't do without like listen to music didn't come to my mind, I lost my personality, I had suici...

Find x

    WTF!!! Before you tell kids to find x, can u explain to them why 'x' is used to represent the unknown. If not, why not find a, b, c, d . . .w,y...z. And how come alphabets can be calculated? Last time I checked they were used to spell words to form a sentence, how come now you can add, subtract, multiply, minus and divide alphabets and get your answers as an alphabet?. These are few of many questions going on in the mind and hearts of every so-called Slow Learner. And how is this subject matter applicable to everyday real life issues.             SLOW LEARNER STUDY GROUP                                   Est.1995
