Ever since we were little, we were told that our mental
capabilities are similar as the person next to us. It’s all a matter of ‘applying
yourself’ which differentiates us from the others. This type of
institutionalized thinking has crept into our society way before we were born
and can be traced back 3-4 generations earlier. The thing about the current thinking
of society is that we choose to accept what we see in front of our eyes and
fail to understand what lies in the depths of sometimes even our own selves.
We come across a lot of people in our daily lives carrying
out their ‘usual’ routines and going back to their respective ‘havens’ in the
end. This is that part of the picture we see every day, the usual black and
white routine. What we don’t see is actual colors of the picture, the feelings
hidden deep behind a mask of lies and deception. And the funny thing is that
this has become a norm where hiding your problems is preferred over sharing
them since people don’t want to deviate from the ‘normal’ loop of life which is
seen as the safer option. What lacks awareness is that things like stress,
anxiety and depression coming from the problems/challenges faced in life
actually make us human because at the end of the day, pretending like a robot
does not actually lead you into becoming one.
Our leading education systems have been known for developing people
from the grass root level and indeed they play a critical role in our society.
However, the fact of the matter is that most of these institutes do not to
address the simplest of problems being faced by an individual which in some
cases actually leads to suffering for them in the future. The increase of drug
usage over the past five years signifies that the problem largely remains
unaddressed leading to the social destruction of individuals in the process.
Me, Myself & I is a platform which is developed for the
sole purpose of catering to people’s problems with the aim of alleviating any
form of stress, anxiety or depression being faced by an individual. On this
platform, it will be ensured that the anonymity of the person is not
compromised in any way so that people find it easier to discuss their issues
and resolve their problems in a better manner. MM&I intends to break the
social norm by providing individuals with an opportunity to rediscover
themselves so that they can achieve peace of mind in the end.
In life, you can and most positively will get
hurt. It seems almost easier to go through life prepared for the blow, already
in the trenches before you get buried any lower.
