Hey, all and welcome to deep thoughts with Luna. I am so glad you tuned in today. This is my first podcast, the Siri's. So I'm gonna give you a little bio of myself. As you can hear, my name is Luna and I'm a freshman here at Bloomsburg University and I've been given the opportunity to do a podcast through one of my classes. Is part of the honors college really Anjali answering tough questions and looking at always to answer them, so to give you a heads up there may be some triggering information in today's podcast. Just so you are aware as well, everyone is entitled to their own opinion and yours may be different than mine, and that is perfectly OK. So today we're going to try to get some answers to these tough questions I've been challenged with. And let's get started. First question we're going to try to tackle here is what is your biggest accomplishment. And I think my biggest accomplishments is getting to today, and I know that may seem cheesy, but looking back at my life and where I've been, it's been quite the journey, to say the least, and I really think life is about the journey rather than the destination, necessarily. So while getting to two today may seem as a destination, I still have places to get to tomorrow and in the future and with getting to today, I've been able to do so much like help others and make relationships, meet people and, most importantly, gain knowledge. There's been so much, and throughout this journey, I have learned so much about myself, and I think that knowledge of oneself is one of the most important lessons someone can learn. So, yeah, I'd have to say that my biggest accomplishment would be getting to today and continue to fight every day to get to the next one. Moving on here. Let's look at this next question from Brayden. What if you were given a number when you were born, but you didn't know what the increment the number was in, But that is how long you had to live. Who? Kinda wordy question here, But let's bring it down. So this quote include number is the period of Tom. You have to live. You just don't know what increment of time it is, and I feel as if This is like life today in a way, you know? Well, we aren't given a number. We really have no idea how long we have to live. We are promised or granted tomorrow, but yet we still go to bed every night and cetera warm with the hope that will be able to wake up to them. I know that's kind of deep, but I don't know if there is an exact answer for this question, but I think I personally could break it down to whether there is or isn't this number or increment of time. You must live every day is your last, and life is so precious in so many ways, you can never take it for branded. So I think that's how I could answer that question and and let's see what else we have here. So another question standing by Abbey is what is the most important thing to you at the moment? And I feel like you could take this question in a few different ways between two main ways of materialistic or non materialistic. So what's known on materialistic? Because you know me, I'm a little bit of a deep person. So for me finding myself is the most important thing to me at the moment. And I can break that down into a few different things, including staying, shooting myself, making friends standing up for what I believe in, not allowing others to hate, tear me down and most unsporting Lee spreading love and kindness and threw away of service for me personally. And I find that most of my life has been lived with this ideology of pleasing others before myself. This way of life put me in a rough spot mentally and emotionally, and I found myself dream by the end of the day, leaving myself with nothing to help myself personally. And I could say there is a healthy way to help others and to help yourself. So for me, finding myself and supporting myself go hand in hand and just remember to take some time. But you love yourself because you need that to so me. The most important thing to me is making sure that aren't staying true to who I am, no matter what situation it is, what person I'm talking to, just valuing myself is a whole is really important, and I think you should look into that topic is well here. Uh, this next question is more of an overall topic to begin. I want toe provide a definition real quick. So this topic is self hatred. So Merrian Webster to find self hatred as hatred directed toward oneself rather than toward others. So to elaborate on that, my definition includes is concepts of not giving one self enough credit for what they have done or been. So what could say that self hatred and self loathing go hand in hand in today's society? But, it may seem, were common to find it self hatred just because of the standards that television shows, movies and social media place for us as teenagers and his people in general. So self hatred could be seen now as more of an everyday life. So because of the way and the society norms that have been placed for us in our everyday life, so continuing on here, this next question comes from Haley, and it is, if you could talk to anyone dead or alive, who would be and what so personally, I actually been asked this question before quite a few times, and I always for myself coming back to the same person, my mother and for a little background information. For those of you who may not know, my mom passed away about 3.5 years ago, kind of unexpectedly. So this is the basis for my answer here. So for me, talking to my mom, I think, would provide me with a little closer surrounding her death. I always found my mom's voice and laughter. Have this quote unquote special power to me. Just Teoh calm on my nerves and just made me feel at ease, and it made me feel comfortable. I think it's because I found, like I said, comfort in her voice because of the normality of it and the basis of memories that I had surrounding it. So when I think about her voice now and I think about how her laugh sounds or whatnot, I can't really tell you exactly what it sounded like or necessary, why it brought me so much ease. So maybe hearing it would allow you to find that quite deep question there, guys. So let's move onto this next one here. This next question had me thinking hard, and I challenge all of you listening today to answer this question as well? Do I like who I am right now? How could an eight word question stumped me so hard, So to be gained? I want to break this question down into two parts. Who am I? And do I like that? So first, I'm Luna, a loyal individual with high respect for others as well as myself. I am someone who shows selfless service and integrity. I'm a leader. I am one who goes out of their way to support those around me. I'm someone who everybody can depend on. I am someone who others want to be around because of the person I am who that was hard to talk about myself for a second. But let's look at the other question here. And do I like all of those things? Sure, I like to think that I'm overall a pretty great person like to think that I do the right thing and I act the right way. But at the same time, I feel is if they're always parts of yourself, you can improve on every day. We're given another chance to be a better version of yourself, So to answer this question. Sure, I like who I am right now, but I value the importance of growth. And I think that comes the core of this question of Do you like who you are right now? So I think you need to find value within this question and looking at you as a whole and the experience that you go through every single day. So let's take a quick music break here to get into the next part of this podcast, these next few questions here I was able to have an open discussion about with a good friend of mine named Gabby. She allowed me to look at these questions in a different light and bounce some ideas off her. So let's get grouping here. This first question we had stepped in to answer was, What is happiness and to start Happiness is defined as this context of mental or emotional states, including positive or pleasant emotions ranging from contentment too intense joy. It's also used in the contacts of like life satisfaction, subject well being and flourishing. I guess you could say so. We both came to the same conclusion of happiness as this sacrifice have seen others around us as happy or in a joyful mood, so so elaborate on that is in a way, we find happiness is in the happiness and joy of others. So if we can make someone else happy or if we can impact someone else's life, we find happiness. And with this happiness of others comes the idea of self service or sacrifice for others well being. So for us, happiness isn't necessarily what we find. It's what others find So moving on here to this next question. It was pretty interesting to discuss with you, Abby, And what is your purpose of existence? So we both looked at this is what are you leaving behind? So for me, I find my purpose of existence to be found in the lives that I have left an impact on. And I go throughout every day attempting to make more relationships and connections with those around me because I find value in those meaningful interactions. Now, Gabby have a different look at it. And as she expressed, her entire purpose was to build a good family, Could you see, Because it is the only thing you will leave behind now, her basis of belief strives from the importance of family in her wife. So overall, we both see this existence stem from impact. We just branched off in different ways. So moving on to a question that found us to have nearly identical values on was what is your biggest fear? Shorthand are answers where someone we love getting hurt is fearful for us. So for me, this idea of seeing anyone I've met or interacted with anyone that I've loved or will love get her emotionally, mentally physically, however it is, leaves me feel helpless in a way that I cannot take their pain away from them. So why value the importance of pain in order to grow? I still feel helpless when seeing other struggle. So my biggest fear is that I will not be able to control a situation where someone that I love is getting hurt or someone I love is getting used in a way that they shouldn't be. All right. So let's look at our last question here. Do I consider myself breathe? Gabby found it very easy to complete very quickly that she isn't brave. But for me, I charge one to look at this in a situation away, as in respect to what you have been through an experience not necessarily comparing what you've been through to what others have been through. So for me, I find myself brave with what I have been through and in context of the world. Sure, I'm not brave in comparison with what others have been through, but for what I've been through on brave, because I still wake up every morning striving to be a better version of myself. So I find bravery to be contextual within a situation here closing out the podcast today. I want to thank you all for tuning in, I. So I give you all a reminder to take care of yourselves. Make sure you take time for yourself and do something for you. Also struggling or not, remember that tough times will only make you appreciate and cherish the amazing times a little bit more.
