The Struggle Is Real: How I Dealt with Postpartum Depression

Life is full of surprises. It's not always what you expect to be. It is truly unpredictable and you have to be ready for everything.  Ever since my life turned 360 degrees, everything then was unexpected. From conceiving to giving birth to becoming a mom. My life before my marriage was exciting and I felt free. Though I may have problems I was not worried at all since I only support myself. It all changed after my marriage, I felt secure because I have someone to lean on, to share my problems with, someone who comforts me and takes care of me. I felt at ease knowing I have a partner who will be with me through the ups and downs of life.  Being in a long distance relationship was fine with me as long as we constantly communicate. And I thought it will still be okay after giving birth, but sadly it wasn't. I felt bad because I was left alone to take care of the baby. I thought taking care of the baby wouldn't be an issue since I took care of a lot of babies before sinc

What Is A Bitcoin? Bitcoin is a virtual digital currency that doesn’t possess any physical existence. It is stored on your system in the form of an encrypted code. It is intangible–meaning you cannot touch it or pass it on to someone else hand-to-hand. And most importantly, it’s not a coin like the ones appearing in the pictures.

7 Effective Ways on how to use Google Trends for Keyword Research

Image
Here’s everything you need to know about Google Trends data (and how it works)… When I started writing this article, I realized there is some confusion about Google Trends data across the internet. Many people think that the trend curve is the  direct  representation of the query’s search volume over time (like the one you can see in Google Keyword Planner tool). That’s not  exactly  how it works. Let me show you the trends graphs for the keyword “flowers” in Google Trends and  GKP  tool: SIDENOTE.  You can no longer see such graphs in Google Keyword Planner unless you’re spending a certain amount on AdWords ads. As you can see, they look quite similar, but they’re not identical. While Google Keyword Planner shows absolute search volume data, Google Trends shows the  relative popularity  of a search query. Here’s the explanation from  Google Trends Help Center : Trends adjusts search data to make comparisons between terms easier. Each data point is divided by t
