Marcus in the Morning
I used to wake each morning in an amphora pot of uncertainty. Where was rent coming from this week? This pot won't pay for itself. Where was food being sourced? My stomach can not consume itself. With the panic of a thousand splendid moons revolving round an orbit point I seemed to inhabit, I would embarrassingly cry my way to the bathroom and shower.

The Burnout Syndrome
Energy drain as the days pass. Conforming into the old ways of ordinary. Bored out my mind or just cruising through, The theory of nostalgia is what helps me through. The power of silence & being alone becomes eminent. The reality of silence is placed while the doors of the world are opened. As shops & establishments open my door closes.

Dopamine detox leads to Success
How to get your life back together now when I came across this, the first thing that came to my mind was actually a ritual that I invented many many years ago back in college when I was drinking smoking and simply partying way too hard it's a ritual that worked extremely well for me back then and it's something that I still do at least once or twice every single year.

Peace of mind
Peace of mind The pressure to perform is always in high demand. If it’s in a working environment or a relationship or even in family, sometimes the pressure is one and it’s up too us how do we deal with it. Working for the last seven years straight is hard in it’s self. To have to do something in an consistent day by day basis can drain you and your peace of mind. There times were you working this 9 to 5 job and go home to relax just to find out that the job is not done. Helping others is something that comes up a lot. Friends come to certain people for advice or just need someone to talk to (mainly just listen). The big mistake is taking sides in a place where you can’t really go away. Some people go out of they’re way to make that person feel good about themselves and hope that things will go better and not worse. The warning signs are there (especially when others have said so) but you ignore them and do the right thing. One question that comes up a lot is “how come you never ask for something?” , the true question comes to mind in my head “ why do I have to ask for something?”. The belief is that some “friends” don’t really treat others as that instead more or less treat them as another human to use as a punching bag. The hope is simple, they have to repay them back without one saying something. Dating them would be a hassle but a lot of fun however eventually you’ll find out who they really are and may like it and may not and start to drift away without them knowing. Falling in love with the character they are is why I held on so much in hope that I can be the next partner. In the end, it wasn’t meant to be, just their true about me when I asked “who am I to you” the answer was lower than the bottom of the sea. After that it was hard to be near them and my curse is that I’m too loyal and wouldn’t say no. But the damage was there and it kept getting worse and worse, day by day, I don’t know what to do. Then we stop talking for good. But I felt the pressure, was more angrier to myself that I let this happen. Being nice hurt me in a deep way but then the pandemic hit. No more job, no more dealing with drama, but it’s there and need to be strong for what’s coming. We all gotta expect the unexpected in way or directions it comes from. Pressure comes on how we do things, do we put pressure on ourselves or others do? Honestly that answer is both. Others expect you to be strong and you need to prove to yourself what kind of dignity you have in you. During this time I gotten the opportunity to try to relax. Everything around is a challenge from people or society. Going to a place where you just hear the water run down the stream and listening the falls in the big wall dam is soothing. It’s funny but nature has a way to make your mind wonder and at times clean off the bad energy. I can never change who I am, dealing with this thing call pressure is something that’ll never leave but my answer to that on how do I deal with is simple just be patient. Be patient with everything, with people and with yourself and somehow things will work for the best. It’s not easy but in the long run it will because you’ll be teaching someone life lessons and maybe change their lives.

Compartmentalization
What does it mean when someone compartmentalizes? Compartmentalizing is an internal process of putting your feelings toward someone, or some experience, in a box, and putting them on a shelf in the back of your mind to be forgotten, or stirred up when something reminds you they're there. It's a defense mechanism for those that are better at just pushing forward or moving on. It allows them to not deal with, come to terms with or even accept the issue at hand.
