I am feeling quite nostalgic lately. At first, I was looking for the reason I was being so moody one minute, then happy and without a care in the world the next one. I am nearly nineteen and a half years old. By now, I should have become a tough, independent woman, as most of you might have expected. Heck, even I had expected myself to grow up much more quickly­ emotionally speaking. Thing is, I tend to take things much more to heart than many other people. While what someone might say to you ­ something good or something bad­ might evaporate from your memory as quickly as it entered it, I feel like I am a whole lot different...

What do we not do to look perfect so that people are attracted to us? We have to take care of our skin, our body, our hair, and our nails. We put on makeup. We follow strict diets and do extreme workouts to get the desired body. Despite all the 'struggles' many of us still feel insecure about ourselves. Why is it so?       When questioned some women replied that they when they would not wear makeup they were not given enough attention as those who wore them. Now that they wear makeup to be approachable many of them are trea...

Those words showed the entire world how life can take an unexpected turn at any moment. The Air France aircraft left Tel Aviv on the 4 th July 1976 with 180 passengers aboard. The plane had to make a stopover in Greece before heading to Paris. The passengers were mainly Israelis with some 40 French people. Sara Davidson and her family were going to spend their holidays in France since the academic year was over. The stopover in the Athene was just a normal procedure where some 20 additional passengers joined the flight. The departure was scheduled for...

The following is a Guest Post and Guest Posts are not usually in line with the philosophy of Our Alter Ego. But this one here, is almost in line with it. I bet that's why they say friends have similarities on so many levels. Shammouille, thank you for penning this. It could not have been any more accurate and perfectly place. Yes, we all have internal conversations about ourselves that make us feel really down. And contrary to popular beliefs, as teenagers we have faced such mini-depressions so many times. They are days where you wake up and just want to have been dead rather. But then we pick our tiaras up and smile into the broad sky. Self-love. It's so important.  Be Light,  Much Love, Iam Aehr. .  .  . Ever experienced that awful feeling of not being enough? Not being worthy enough, not being deserving enough? Remember those crappy days when you woke up, wanting nothing more than to just curl up and drift back to sleep, simply becau...

Some of you have been inboxing with words that flew like: Sometimes I have difficulties, to write. To vary the vocabulary, put a thought down. I get a block. I struggle. I have taken excerpts of a conversation to set up the following. Thanks to the interlocutor. Here are some tips that worked for me! How to improve the vocabulary? 1.   I think one interesting thing to do is to have a   bank of synonyms   in your mind. It should click as soon as a word comes from your mind or you read a word. For instance, if you read the word   'measurable'   you should instantly have other words like   'fathomable', 'quantifiable', 'gaugeable'   coming to your mind.       2.   And then vocabulary also has a lot to do with   soulful writing,   I feel. At least that's the case for me. I don't sit down with a vocabulary copybook or a list learned by heart. At times, you just get inspired or let yourse...
