Pretender

She smiles and nods and says she's fine

But deep inside she feels a twinge of pain

She acts as if she has it all together

But every night she cries herself to sleep

She pretends to love her job and friends

But secretly she longs for something more

She acts as if she's happy and fulfilled

But every day she feels a void inside

She pretends to be confident and strong

But really she's insecure and scared

She acts as if she's brave and bold

But every time she faces a challenge she doubts herself

She pretends to be someone she's not

But who is she really and what does she want?

She acts as if she knows herself well

But every moment she wonders who she is

A cat swinging on a branch

A cat swinging on a branch

With grace and skill and nonchalance

He leaps and lands on his four paws

And then he licks them with his jaws

He does not care about the height

Or if he gives the birds a fright

He only wants to have some fun

And feel the breeze and see the sun

He swings again and then he stops

And looks around for any props

He sees a squirrel on a tree

And thinks that it would make a good company

He jumps and chases after it

But the squirrel is too fast and fit

He misses it by just a bit

And falls into a pile of leaves

He shakes himself and then he smiles

He does not mind his little trials

He swings and jumps and plays all day

He is a cat and that's his way

Poem

You are a mystery to me

A puzzle I can't solve

You have a mind that's full of dreams

And a heart that's full of love

You are a wonder to behold

A beauty I can't describe

You have a smile that lights up the room

And a voice that soothes my mind

You are a challenge to me

A goal I can't achieve

You have a spirit that's free and wild

And a soul that's deep and brave

You are a poem to me

A song I can't forget

You have a rhythm that moves me

And a melody that makes me wet

my poem

Ilove this song

Fireflies

Owl City

You would not believe your eyes if ten million fireflies

Lit up the world as I fell asleep

'Cause they'd fill the open air and leave teardrops everywhere

You'd think me rude, but I would just stand and stare

I'd like to make myself believe

That Planet Earth turns slowly

It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep

'Cause everything is never as it seems

'Cause I'd get a thousand hugs from ten thousand lightning bugs

As they tried to teach me how to dance

A foxtrot above my head, a sock hop beneath my bed

A disco ball is just hanging by a thread

I'd like to make myself believe

That Planet Earth turns slowly

It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep

'Cause everything is never as it seems (when I fall asleep)

Leave my door open just a crack (please, take me away from here)

'Cause I feel like such an insomniac (please, take me away from here)

Why do I tire of counting sheep (please, take me away from here)

When I'm far too tired to fall asleep?

To ten million fireflies

I'm weird 'cause I hate goodbyes

I got misty eyes as they said farewell (they said farewell)

But I'll know where several are

If my dreams get real bizarre

'Cause I saved a few and I keep them in a jar

I'd like to make myself believe

That Planet Earth turns slowly

It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep

'Cause everything is never as it seems (when I fall asleep)

I'd like to make myself believe

That Planet Earth turns slowly

It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep

'Cause everything is never as it seems (when I fall asleep)

I'd like to make myself believe

That Planet Earth turns slowly

It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep

Because my dreams are bursting at the seams

How to improve my mood

• Get more sleep. Sleep quality is the top indicator for living well and feeling rested.
• Exercise more. Even just an hour of exercise weekly can help prevent depression and boost your mood.
• Volunteer in nature. Doing something meaningful and connecting with nature can reduce stress and improve mental health.
• Spend time outdoors. Walking in a park or any green space can increase blood flow to your brain, lower stress hormones, and trigger the production of happy hormones like serotonin and endorphins.
• Cultivate eudaimonic happiness. This is the type of happiness that comes from doing things that provide meaning and give a sense of striving to be your best self, such as volunteering, doing art, or spending time with loved ones.
• Write down what (or who) you are grateful for. Keeping a gratitude journal or writing gratitude letters can increase your happiness and mood.
• Listen to happy music. Music can influence your emotions and make you feel more positive, especially if you actively try to feel happier while listening to upbeat songs.
• Laugh. Laughter can increase dopamine, oxygenate your body, and cool down your stress-response systems, producing an overall calm, happy feeling.
• **Work on decluttering your home and 

Dementia

Here is a short summary about dementia:

Dementia is a term used to describe a group of symptoms that affect memory, thinking and social abilities severely enough to interfere with daily life. It is not a specific disease, but several diseases can cause dementia². The most common cause of dementia is Alzheimer's disease, which involves plaques and tangles in the brain²³. Other causes of dementia include damage to blood vessels, infections, metabolic disorders, genetic disorders, and brain injuries¹.

Some of the signs and symptoms of dementia include memory loss, difficulty communicating, confusion, personality changes, depression, anxiety, and hallucinations². Dementia symptoms vary depending on the cause and the part of the brain that is affected². Some forms of dementia may be reversible if the underlying cause is treated², but most types of dementia are progressive and cannot be cured¹.

Dementia is diagnosed by a doctor based on medical history, physical examination, laboratory tests, and cognitive tests¹². Treatment for dementia depends on the cause and may include medication, therapy, and self-care¹. There is no known way to prevent dementia, but some lifestyle factors may reduce the risk of developing it².

My lastest study

 

• About one quarter of the world’s population is infected with tuberculosis (TB) bacteria. Only a small proportion of those infected will become sick with TB. People with weakened immune systems have a much greater risk of falling ill from TB.1
• A total of 1.6 million people died from TB in 2021 (including 187 000 people with HIV). Worldwide, TB is the 13th leading cause of death and the second leading infectious killer after COVID-19 (above HIV/AIDS).1
• The number of people aged 60 years or older will rise from 900 million to 2 billion between 2015 and 2050 (moving from 12% to 22% of the total global population). Population ageing is happening more quickly than in the past.2
• The most common health conditions in older age are noncommunicable diseases, such as heart disease, stroke, chronic lung disease, diabetes and dementia.2
• Ageism may now be more pervasive than sexism or racism. Ageism is the stereotyping, prejudice and discrimination against people on the basis of their age. Ageism affects people’s confidence, job prospects, financial situation and quality of life.2
