Books

 Hello readers, welcome to another entry of my blog. Today I want to talk about how books have helped me fight depression.

  From a very young age, one of my hobbies has been reading. Since I only read school books, some of my favorites were: 1984, Another twist, The iliad and son of a thief. 

Reading is something I love to do even if it is more of a duty than a hobby.

During the pandemic, i started to present many symptoms of depression, so I began with psychological and psychiatric treatment. Since we couldn't go out or see family or friends, I got more and more depressed. One day during the quarantine, I decided to read a fantasy book that was recommended to me on a YouTube video. This book is called "Shadowhunters", and I simply loved it.

I investigated more of this book and I discovered that it was a saga of 6 books. And that's how i found shelter in books, and a way to spend my time without thinking about how sad I felt.  

Books have made me discover that I can travel to different places, even worlds, so I stopped feeling alone and they became my safe place in the world.


This is all I wanted to tell you today, thanks for reading, and tell me what is your favourite book.


kisses.

Why did I choose my major?

 Hello readers, welcome back. Today I am going to talk about my career: dentistry. When I was little I wanted to work in many things like: dancer, firefighter, doctor, taxi driver. But when I grew up I reduced my options to three: lawyer, doctor, or teacher. I finally decided to study medicine, but I didn't stay in the race, and I ended up studying dentistry because it was getting closer to medicine. I have been studying dentistry for two years and my experience has been traumatic, because it is a very difficult career, the university is very demanding, and the academic load is heavy, which is why now I go to the psychologist.   Now something more positive is that I made very good friends and some classmates have helped me a lot to feel better. Thank you for reading.
