Some Weirdest phobias
Having fears or dislikes is totally alright and a normal thing which every human beings face even the strongest and bravest one. So don't feel embarrassed if you have one or many phobias or fears by thinking about your fears, about people's opinions towards you and your fears and on the same time don't make fun of someone just because they have fear of something as they are already suffering from their inner battles which are making their life much more hard than we can think coz it can cause physiological and psychological complexities.
Before discussing about different types of phobias we must know what phobia is actually, so let's dive into today's topic....
What is Phobia??
**"A phobia is an anxiety disorder defined by a persistent and excessive fear of an object or subject"**___(Wikipedia)
In simple words, Phobias are actually fears but it is more pronounced and conspicuous than this. Phobia is an anxiety disorder which causes by extreme and irrational fear of simple things.
There are thousands of phobias, we can't even count them. Here is a brief list about some of them______
Acrophobia or the fear of height.
Achluophobia or the fear of darkness
Algophobia or the fear of pain
Alektorophobia or the fear of chickens
Anthophobia or the fear of flower and so on...
Today, in this article I will be sharing some of the weirdest phobias that actually exists we believe or not and many people are battling with these Phobias we don't even know about them.
🔺**Selenophobia (Greek word 'Seleno' meaning Moon) or the fear of Moon.**
Who does not love and adore moon?? Literally no one in the earth right?? But wait because there are a lot of people who are really afraid of moon. People with this particular Phobia can do everything just to stop them from seeing the beautiful moon such as closing curtains **to** avoid looking at the night sky or refusing to roam outside when it's nighttime. Selenophobia also known as 'Lunaphobia' too because the word 'Luna' meaning Moon in Latin.
The fear of Moon can originate from some painful experiences mostly childhood and it may worsen when it's full moon. There are some mythological reasons behind the cause of Selenophobia where people believe that the moon specially the full moon has the power to metamorphose people specially selenohobic people into werewolves but we know this is just a myth, right?? But in reality there is no proper reason particularly which can trigger the fear of moon but we can assume that some childhood traumas releted to moon can cause this.
***Some phychological and physiological symptoms of Selenophobia :—***
1.Dizziness
2.Muscle tensions
3.Breathlessness etc..
Some other space related phobias are__
Siderophobia or the fear of stars
Alienophobia or the fear of aliens
Meteorophobia or the fear of meteors.
🔺**Heliophobia or the fear of Sun**
'Heliophobia' or the fear of Sun can be more intense than one can imagine except the person who is suffering from it.
The word 'Helio' means 'Sun' in Greek so we can imagine from where this phobia got it's name.
The impact of Heliophobia is much more worse than it seems as Heliophobia can affect one's daily activities and stop them from enjoying a normal life like others as it is truely impossible to stop oneself from going outside when the sun shines and we know that the sun shines almost for 12 hours.
People with this particular phobia thinks the ray of sun or the warmth of the sun can trigger skin burning,photo- ageing or skin cancer so they do everything they can just to save themselves from contacting sun. There are no cure of phobia actually which can demolish phobia from your mind but you can reduce the impact of phobias by the direct contact of those things which triggers fear in you)ofcourse under some medical staffs).

🔺**Somniphobia or the fear of Sleep**
We know that how dear and necessary sleep is for us. After a long tiresome and arduous day, who does not want to taste and enjoy the sweet sleep to refill our energy but there are people who are trying their best just to avoid sleep at any cost no matter how laborious and strenuous day they have, these people are called Somniphobic people.
People with Somniphobia spend most of their day planning how not to falling asleep because they think if they fall asleep they would die in their sleep or may experience sleep walking, sleep paralysis or anecdotal nightmares. As the time passes, this phobia can become more bizarre than we can think as it stops people with Selenophobia from falling asleep.
People with this phobia finds lots of hurdles in their daily life both physically and mentally as they do not provide themselves enough sleep which is most important thing to us. They often face sleep deprivation which leads them to have bad temper, not so good focus power, mood swings, poor health etc
Though there is no cure of this phobia still one can get rid of this phobia partially by following the steps as their doctor suggests.
***Some physical symptoms of Somniphobia :—***
Fear and anxiety during sleeptime
Choosing to stay up as late as possible instead of sleeping
Hyperventilation
Sweat and chills
Nausea
Lack of appetite

Be Kind to Your Unkind Days
**"Be kind to those who are unkind, they need it most"**
We all have heard about kindness since our childhood but we never thought to apply them in reality. Kindness is not only meant for living souls but for non-living things too.
Kindness is a simple and effective way to remind a broken soul that there is love and second chance to be found in the world. Kindness is just like a flame which can melt a millions of glaciers. Kindness is just like the tiny spark which can turn into wildfowler. ***'Be kind to everyone'*** this is the line with which we all are familiar but we should not forget to save some kindness for ourself too because you can't give what you don't have. So try to be kind to yourself first before anyone else because you need it the most.
There are some days when it seems like there is no tomorrow, there is no hope, there is no dawn everything seems dark and obscure. There are some days when it feels like our life is only tearing us apart. These are the days when you can fall in love with yourself more and more and you should not forget there is a hidden purpose behind everything. Struggles are the inseparable part of our life though they can't exist for ever. We all struggle sometimes which happen to every single soul. It is totally impossible to control every aspect of our life, at some point you may feel your struggles are just engulfing you, eating every pieces of flesh you have but still you have to remember **You are so much more than those struggles.**
Failures and struggles are the most important thing in our life because they define us who we are. If you never been failed then ask yourself Are you sure you have worked enough???? Because failures are nothing but the proof of your sleepless nights, your growth, your not so giving up mentality, your hardwork, your dedication. Learn to accept failures with open heart because **Failures are nothing but the shadow of Victory.**
Everyday has something in it whose name is A second chance. Maybe now you are cursing yourself, your unkind days for all the testes, struggles, longerings but one day you will realise the value of these unwanted and undesirable things because these are the things which makes you who you are, makes you braver than you seem, stronger than you think. All great things begins with the choice to let them begin so today if you have a choice then choose to begin your story again.
It is totally okay to have those days when even your name seems strange thing to you. It is totally okay if everything seems senseless to you because everything will make sense some day when you start to live to the fullest. **First we break then We heal** so don't let those broken and lost pieces of yours make you incomplete and unworthy. Try to glued all the deteriorated and lost pieces of yours together by loving yourself a little more.
Don't be worried and waste your time for all the unkind things when you can create so many great things than you have lost. Just try to fall in love with your victory, with the good times before knowing their existence. ***Whatever makes you happy, Do that*** without thinking about anything or anyone as negetive people, failures, sorrows are like the weather as no storm will never last forever so does your pains, sorrows, failures.
Drown all your negetive thoughts, worries, insecurities in a long heavy slumber and rise up from where you are now. Never let your unkind days, struggles take the spark inside you. Don't put unbearable burden on yourself. Don't compare yourself because your story is totally unique and too different to compare. Don't curse yourself even when you are only one with no dream, with no progress, just think **How rare and beautiful it is to even exist**. Things can get tough but you must not lose your hope because the world is brighter with you in it and it needs your spark to light up the world.
Build yourself up gracefully and gorgeously. Put your insecurities and worries to sleep. Make yourself remind you are worthy and capable of doing everything. Bloom the way you are meant to be with the help of self love without comparing your growth to others because everyone grows differently. Learn how to feel stay strong and brave even when you are feeling the weakest and meekest one.

**Be kind to your unkind days** because they moulds you into the most strong, perfectly imperfect person. **Be kind to your unkind days** because they makes you who you are. **Be kind to your unkind days** because they teaches you how to exist beautifully when you don't even want to breath. **Be kind to your unkind days** because they gives you your true identity even when your existence seems mirage to you. Last but not least, **Be kind to your own self**____ because... You are worthy. You are special. You are unique. You matters.
Today love yourself a little more by showing your kindness towards yourself and your unkind days.
Thank you soo much for giving your precious time.
Have a great evening.

Take the Bitter with the Sweet
Our life is a perfect blend of ups and downs, bitter and sweet things, ebbs and flows. Sometimes some extraordinary things happens in our life which light up our life by making our life more beautiful, more enjoyable, brings smile on our face and there are also some thing happens which shatter the sweet melody of our life, tear our heart apart, break our heart into millions of pieces, we want or not it does not matter we have to accept both bitter and sweet if we want to live an imperfectly perfect balanced life. These are the things no matter how much we try we can't force them not to occur in our life but one thing which we can do is to accept them both with a open heart and a bundle of hopes. If we continue to try to make our life blissful by trying to make those bad moments disappear from our life then the endeavors we will put in this never ending process will surely erase the happiness and peace of mind we are enjoying now.
We accept or not it is an eternal law of nature, good things can't exist in our life for ever on the other side bad and bitter things can't exist in our life for ever too. So insted of regretting, cursing ourself for the bitter things which already happened and are happening right now we can accept them because **the more we will try to make our life simple by rejecting them the more our life will become complicated,** we must balance our imperfectly perfect life by accepting both the sweet and bitter things.
**Our life is not a fairytale where only giggles, happiness, peace , happy ending prevails our life is just like a Tragi-Comedy where both the tragedy and comedy exists.** Our life is just like the weather, as there are some gloomy, dark, stormy day presents just like this there are some sunny, shiny, bright, cheerful days too.
There are exactly 365 days in a year so obviously not each day can't be the same otherwise your life will become monotonous and humdrum. I can guess that no one want this kind of life where only monotony, listlessness, despondency prevails. So don't fear to accept the bitter days and situations because these are the things which can make you strong, brave, powerful and can give you patiance, endurance which are the main keys with which you can open a world full of charms, happiness, successes.
At some point in your life, you must learn to accept the bad and bitter things along with good and sweet things so it is better to learn necessary things as early as possible before getting too late. Keep chasing your dreams, keep building yourself up with bricks made of both bitter and sweet things by accepting everything which are coming in your life even the undesirable things. Try to bloom like a flower in every situation and place even in those places and situations everyone thought you couldn't by accepting both bitter and sweet.
Thank you for showing your love and support.

Every End is a New Beginning
Every End is a New Beginning so don't worry if you was not able to attract victory even after giving all your efforts, don't think your life is finished just because you had plenty of failures and you can't start dreaming your dreams, living your life again just make yourself know that new beginnings are often disguised as painful endings. Before making any conclusions, remember certain things must come to an end in order for better things to start.
It is true that every story has an end but in life every ending is just a new beginning. Everyday an old chapter closes which is normal but this does not mean the story is finished because at the same time a new chapter opens too unbeknownst to you.
Endings and beginnings are just a part of our life like the victory and failure. If one chapter of your life is closing even after doing endless hardwork then you need to remember that there is always a new chapter which is opening too as there is always some good days hidden in the bad days, you just have to find them.
Don't let your endings ruin your new beginnings. Don't let your worries overpower your self confidence. Don't let yesterday take up too much of today. What happened in the past just happened, no matter how many times you try you can't change your unchangeable past. So today, try to take a single, small but effective towards your dream , maybe these small steps are not enough to help you to accomplish your goals, to fulfill your dreams overnight but don't forget that all these little steps will add up in the end which can lead you to the path of success and victory. Whenever you feel there is nothing left in your life to start again that is the moment you should try to write your own fate. Don't think about those people who can't see the progress of yours even with their open eyes. Don't belittle yourself just because they can't feel your growth. Don't make comparisons between you and others just because no one can't see your uniqueness while you are working on yourself for yourself. Don't doubt yourself just because they can't see you're blooming like a flower. There disability to see your progress does not make you any less than a flower as there are some flowers which blooms at night when everyone is asleep.
Don't use your energy to worry, to doubt, to break. Use your energy to believe, to create, to trust and to grow. If your are not achieving what you wanted to achieve this does not mean your life is about to end because sometimes things that are delayed happen in the best way. Sometimes we don't become what we dreamt about which is absolutely okay but one thing which is not okay is to lose hope and courage to start again. You need to remember nothing can hold you back more than your own insecurities, your doubts. Don't allow others, don't allow your fears to sow the seeds of insecurity and self-doubt into your mind.
Life may be painful sometimes this does not mean you don't deserve to live, to dream again. Remember light always enters through a broken part just like this where there is ruin, there is a hope for a treasure too you just have to discover it. Every fall is a new chance to rise again with more energy, with more strength than ever. Sometimes the bravest thing you can do is to start again because those who dare to fail miserably, can achieve greatly. Every ending is just creating the space and opening for an amazing new beginning. In each loss there is a gain, as in every gain there is a loss And with each ending comes a new beginning just like after every dark night the bright dawn comes. We need to keep in mind that there are far better things ahead than any we leave behind. Every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end you just need to see it with the eyes of your heart because your mortal eyes are unable to see hidden but magical things.
Thank you for giving your valuable time and showing your support and love.

Let's start the new Journey today
**"Learning is a treasure that will follow it's owner everywhere"**___Chinese proverb.
Learn... Learn...and Learn because there is nothing precious and powerful than knowledge, I have been hearing this specific proverb since I got sense to understand something without craving any external help. I have already spent more than half of my life in the world of learning and I can proudly say still I'm spending my life just to gather more knowledge, more information as much as I can about almost everything but now for a while I just want to know my own self, want to explore the whole new and big, hidden world inside me. This is why I'm here to know myself as well as the mysterious world, I'm pretty much sure that Read.Cash will be my first stepping stone towards the beautiful and wonderful journey which I have engraved in the diary of my heart with the ink of uncountable passions, dreams and desires.
**A little about Hiroko, a girl with millions of Dreams and Ambitions.**
It was a translucent and observable day of 2004, spring when a girl came to this mysteriously wonderful world with absolutely nothing except her first cry and a bundle of joys and giggles to the most important person of her life, her parents along with her well-wishers.
It was unequivocal that her arrival brought such a wave of happiness and exhilaration to her parents which can be compared to the happiness of farmers when they sees the first needed rain after showing the seed both of their crops and hardwork.
It was the time when each and everyone could enjoy the beautiful pile of cherry blossom when she made her arrival. Her tender and soft newborn body was looking like nothing but a fluffy, white but pinkish ball made of enchanting and stunning cherry flower, it is totally obvious from where she got her name ***'Hiroko'*** which means *'tolerant', 'generous', 'abundant', 'prosperous'* in Japanese. She is trying her best to sprinkle magic like hope, smile and happiness everywhere she goes since her childhood. Maybe she is not the best or the perfect but she is trying really hard to expose the real identity of her.
Luckily or after doing lots of hardwork with the fullest dedication I don't know, she achieved lots of great things which can make her feel butterflies in her stomach thinking about those magical moments.
She is still trying to paint a fairytale like life for her as well as for her family... I guess from the above lines you can understand the girl is none other than Me, your Hiroko🤩
Okay enough for the introduction allow me to tell the reason behind joining this wonderful platform.
It was last Sunday morning when I found out about some blogging sites along with read.cash, just to entertain my curiousity I decided to be a part of read.cash let's see what future holds for me.
I don't have the slightest idea about the crypto world but I do know a little bit about blogging world, so I'm just hoping and believing that my past experiences will surely help me to secure a cosy place in read.cash, to achieve a beautiful virtual family, to enjoy a dreamy, enjoyable and memorable journey on read.cash.
I will reflect all the knowledge, all the things I have gathered from everywhere except a pile of information about me such as my likes-dislikes, my hobbies, my choices, my favourite foods, colors etc as I don't like talking about those things which can't help anyone.
I will be honest about the reason as I am known for my firmness and for straightforward character. I joined read.cash because I want to know myself more, to explore the world inside me, to taste the versatility of mine, to enjoy everything I got from my creator and the from thr world, to cherish other's talent and the world. Apart from all of these, I want to improve myself through expressing myself here and want to be independent too which is important too. Allow me to wrap up the flow of my thoughts here.
It is my first time here on read.cash and unusually I'm feeling nervous and anxious so just for the sake of my nervous soul I am willing to stop here for today.
I'm feeling little bit guilty as for today I'm not able to give my best as I'm accustomed to but on the same time I'm happy that I will be sharing what I gained throughout the years in a beautiful manner.
Keep safe and enjoy your day. Don't forget to reflect all the thoughts you are dealing with about me.
