Depression does not appear suddenly; it is more of a cancerous growth. It starts out as a small unnoticeable mass that grows over time, and by the time you find it it’s too late; it has officially taken hold in your brain with no way out, no cure. It’s just there. It’s a cancer that is built upon the base of negativity and hopelessness. Where these symptoms take hold of you and overpower every aspect of your life until it becomes who you are, these feelings no longer are just “feelings” they are

In a small library study room, a group of Monterey Park residents was discussing a fender bender that struck one of their peer’s car that morning. Nancy Cheung was walking to her parked car when a driver pulled out of the spot behind her without checking oncoming traffic. That’s when another car struck the driver, who then slammed into Cheung’s back bumper. “Nancy did not have a good day,” said instructor Daisy Lui, who then asked another student, Tony, to recap what had just happened to Cheun

Why a change in perspective may not be life-changing. I am awake. It’s the middle of the night, and the house is eerily silent. My eyes are open, but my body lies entirely still, paralyzed in thought. Should I try to move? What if I can’t? A feeling of familiarity washes over me as I hear the faint sound of the pulse in my temple rhythmically brushing the pillow ever so slightly. This was the place I tried to get to when I was sick. Feeling that pulse reminded me that I was still alive, and dur

I have an unusual background that makes it difficult for me to write anything autobiographical. However, having been recently pressured to share how my personal experiences have shaped my perspective on journalism, I decided to do so in an article, so I don’t have to repeat myself. I have had a traumatic life. If you have ever been neglected, abused, or molested as a child, lost someone you loved to suicide, been in an accident, had a near death experience, taken care of someone who is dying, b

EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt brings his security detail with him just about everywhere, including personal trips, according to a letter from a Democratic senator obtained by CNN. Sen.

You probably have noticed that whenever you search for something on Google (especially if it is location-specific), there are a Top 3 of businesses that pop up along with a map.

Open banking enables networking and aggregation of users’ financial data across various institutions with the aim of providing customized services. Financial institutions and third-party service providers can get a more accurate picture about the financial status of a consumer by examining the aggregated data. Such information can be used in determining each customer’s risk levels and terms for instance, when issuing loans. On the other hand, consumers are made aware of their financial health, which can help in budgeting and decision making. For instance, a customer can use an open banking app to automatically calculate the kind of car or house they can afford using the information from their various accounts.

Meet the daily practice that gives you the emotional clarity you need to know yourself better. How well do we know ourselves exactly? A question that’s stood the test of time and perplexes us on a day to day basis, sometimes throwing us off track with how much it rings true. We can all look back at days where something feels extremely off, and we find ourselves acting in a manner that’s “out of character” for us. Those are the days when we are genuinely taken aback by the realization of just ho
