NATURALLY GRATEFUL<br />

Eesha Sondhi is currently a third year international student from India,<br />
and is pursuing the Specialist Program in Psychology at the University<br />
of Toronto- Scarborough campus. Her major interests in the field include<br />
Evolutionary Psychology, Social Psychology and its subfield – Behavioural<br />
Economics. Additionally, she finds Art History quite intriguing as a subject<br />
as well. She aspires to become a Clinical Psychologist in the future and is<br />
driven towards destigmatizing mental illnesses and creating a safe space<br />
for people to come forward, share their stories, and heal.<br />
The inspiration behind my sketch, depicting our early primates in a state<br />
of deep ponder, comes from an intriguing fact that I read last year in a<br />
book about the Human Evolution. According to it, even after billions of<br />
years of natural selection, us Homo Sapiens may still not be the end goal<br />
of human evolution. What’s fascinating about this fact is that no matter<br />
how far we have come from where we started, there is still so much left<br />
for us to improve upon and even get better at and that is okay. We are all<br />
complex and flawed beings. But at the same time, I cannot help but be<br />
glad of the fact that we are still better than a version of ourselves that we<br />
used to be at one point in life. And perhaps, that’s the beauty of change;<br />
it makes you grateful for the present and hopeful for the future.<br />
