Psycho---Mania


My recent fascination has to do with psychology and basically anything that has to do with the study of human behavior. I don't know about you but sometimes I always find myself wondering, "what makes people tick?'...It's like one minute you see this normal person and the next you hear they did something very outrageous..something unbelievable and it's very hard to comprehend that such a person would do such a thing.

I've always loved psychology; in fact it was one of my very first choice of study, but circumstances caused me to close that window of thought. But now, I've decided to pursue it! I have a very good feeling that I wouldn't regret it.

So I'm back in school working on my Nursing major while working on attaining a BA in Child Psychology. I'm much interested in working with abused children. I overheard someone say, "molested children tend to objectify themselves" and I think that statement holds a lot of truth to it because when a person goes through an abusive experience, they tend to feel worthless and thus allow themselves to be treated like crap by others because they feel like they deserve what's been handed to them.

The reason we see a lot of "messed up" people in the world today is because someone very important in their life has hurt them beyond repair. [to be continued...]
