Bad habits
WHO AM I?
For most of my life, I was the guy most wannabe thugs wished they could have been. Officially declared a “Menace 2 Society”, I was sentenced to almost 30 years in federal prison for my role as mastermind of a series of daring bank robberies in the 70s. Two involved shootouts. One with the police. The other with a private citizen in a bank parking lot where I narrowly missed being killed. While confined, I took part in an even more brazen prison escape. Yet, despite this seeming penchant for violence, I consoled myself with the notion that I was a saint trapped inside a gangsta’s body, and oddly enough, this wasn’t far from the truth.

The Panic Attack Juice in a Can
My mental health is very important to me. Especially as a mom of two little children. I usually like to try and walk around wearing my anxiety with a lot of courage. I have struggled my whole life dealing with anxiety. I know it's ruined my life in some ways. Sometimes I just cringe over moments where my anxiety took control of a situation and got the better of me. But that is how life can be like when you struggle with severe anxiety and depression. As a mom, I feel like I have constantly chugged coffee for the last almost four years of my life. Hey, raising kids is no joke, it takes a lot of energy to run around after kids all day. The biggest thing I noticed with my caffeine intake was my anxiety.

Have I lived too long?
Today August 12, 2021, I am seventy-eight years old. Seventy-nine in October. This presents a problem because I am something around forty in my mind. My body is younger, and I still look presentable. Except for the normal aches and pains from injuries and abuse, I have no health complaints. I have a comfortable place to live and no money worries. I don’t work, do more or less as I like, and have few friends by choice. My daughter is independent, secure, and has a brilliant future. She is my only child and relative except for a brother and assorted cousins scattered across America. Really, I have nothing to complain about considering the thousands who are doing it tough because of the pandemic. Still not a day goes by that I don’t reflect that I have lived too long.

Dear Diary, I Guess Death Can Restore Life
28 Nov. 2021 Dear Diary, I know it's been about thirty years since I last wrote in one, but I just had to get some thoughts out on what turned out to be a very painful year. I know the year isn't over yet. As I write this, there is still one more month to provide further agony. However, as December is looking to be extra chaotic due largely to what I'm going to talk about, I feel I should get this out now.

Confessions of the Rising
*deep sigh* It is currently 6 am on a Monday, I'm slouched in bed with my cat curled up by me under the cover. I wish more than anything to just lay down completely to go back to sleep since being up at 3 am. Fudge, I love sleep so much it's giving me depression and avoidance of life vibes. Literally everyday "I wish I could get paid to sleep" repeats itself through my verbalization and while it's possible my consistency and dedication doesn't allow that just yet. My family probably think Azrie'l is a lost soul who needs to come back home (physically & spiritually).

How overthinking almost killed me my career and my health.
Hi, my name is Kaushal Mandal and I am 24 years old by date. Coming from a middle-class family background we had a mentality about thinking at least 10 times before buying anything or spending on any goods or products.

The Fleeting High of Retail Therapy
I have a confession. I am an irresponsible over spender. It’s not a rare condition. I have a friend who cannot stop buying clothes despite, the fact that she has to make her basement her closet so they all fit. Her favorite outing when we get together is coffee first and then shopping. I love her dearly but she’s a bad influence on me.

I Can't Handle Change
Nothing I do is ever good. I think about it all the time. What if I am not doing this right? Am I living up to the correct standards? How in the world would I know? I have had so many people tell me I am doing it all wrong, but they won't inform me how to do it right. Almost anything in this society is okay. But at the same time, you have to keep to yourself if you are a female in some circumstances. The same thing goes with races, ethnicities, and other genders.

My 30-day Journal Journey
When you tell people that you are lost, usually they will say something along the lines of telling you to do what brings you joy. When I was feeling lost and depressed, every video I watched or article I read, said something about joy and doing what you love. However, when I really thought about it, I didn't know what that meant. I was so lost and depressed that I couldn't see what brought me joy. I understood the answer, but I didn't know what that meant for me. The thing about being depressed and lost is that you have a problem finding joy in life. So trying to make a life plan around joy and happiness was hard for me to come up with. That was when I read something that would bring me more clarity.
