\u201cI have an astounding ability to practice escape mechanism. I\u2019m someone who blends in with stories inside movies and TV series, I cannot read books. I\u2019m also someone who escapes with a paintbrush in her hand, ignoring all the responsibilities whilst blasting music. I\u2019m a person who runs a lot, from feelings. It\u2019s ironical how most of Psychology is about emotions, but I refuse to feel, although I am in love with overanalyzing everything even if it fries me.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m deeply interested in helping, listening, solving and healing people that are in pain. Pain is a feeling too, which is the reason I stopped feeling. I belong to a broken family where everything fits like a puzzle now, the edges of the puzzle are curved but they used to be sharp, they used to hurt. The fact that it all gets numb at some point of time really stands out to me, it\u2019s magic. I am passionate about how we get there, how we face everything we can and still have a percent of ourselves is us.<\/p>\n

Psychology is not a subject for me, it\u2019s a way of life. It\u2019s everywhere, all those stories I blend into, all those movies, every person\u2019s life on this planet, their personality, their existence cannot be understood without Psychology. We need it, everyone needs it and I\u2019m certainly ready to become someone who has the ability to provide it to everyone.<\/p>\n

I am a baker, an artist, (kind of) a writer\/poet and a movie+TV series freak. I have lived in different parts of India (Mumbai, Chandigarh and Bangalore) and there\u2019s only one thing I can say: I love Butter Chicken, Chicken Dum Biryani and Pani Puri.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m majoring in Psychology and minoring in Family Studies. Areas of Psychology that stand out to me the most are: Cognitive Psychology, Developmental Psychology and Cultural Psychology.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
