What Doesn't Serve You
It’s funny, the things we buy to comfort our wants. Something so small, or not known to really be meaningful in the moment other than just being "things." So we buy that necklace we saw through an Instagram ad, or that shirt we thought was meant for us to have, because it’s still on the rack when you pass it for the fifth time during your “I’ll think about it,” walk around the store. Maybe it’s that $100 shirt that’s “vintage” from Urban Outfitters, or those really expensive jeans you shouldn’t buy but for the sake of your ass it’s having that one good pair of jeans.

Day 2,000 in Quarantine
lol coronavirus is absolutely wrecking new york city as we know it. considering we are the most populated place ever we were hit pretty hard. i remember when the first person got it and it wasnt a big deal. then out of no where it seemed that 100's and 1,000's of people had it. and the virus didnt discriminate at all. all people can get it. the experts do say that seniors should beware though. it could really murk them. thats pretty much the only scary part for me at least. i just feel like alot of people who dont deserve to have their life cut so short (considering they made it so far) are deceased by the minute. literally the minute. its a scary world to be in right now. and it seems like everyone is running around like chickens with their heads cut off or something. including the government. they seem pretty scared about the situation as well. in a very unpopular opinion i feel that parts of our government has been doing a pretty good job. the numbers are decreasing and we are finding a way to fight this virus. it took a pandemic for just a teensie weensie bit of unity within our nation. but i cant complain its happening. and that all starts with the people. but im not obama , im not gonna preach here about that.

Balance
Balance. Life is filled with imbalanced people who spend their whole life trying to find the perfect equation or method in order to have balance. The world is accompanied by a bunch of strangers all living “under one roof” so to speak, who are all searching for the same thing, happiness. Searching for happiness can become one’s life quest, just the soul act of searching.

Finding Myself In Isolation
Like most university students, I enjoyed the first week of isolation social distancing. After just a few weeks of coming back and dealing with toxic people, not sleeping due to assignments, and killer lecturers, I felt some sort of happiness that I wouldn't have to handle most of that until the end of semester. I started losing my mind around the third week. Online classes had me lose most of my focus and I found myself spiralling into a deep pit of depression that I haven't fallen into since the end of last year. I felt useless as I had four mental breakdowns in one day, my habit of self-harm came back, and it didn't help that the economical state of the world was crashing more and more each day as the cure to this virus was yet to be found.

Finding Motivation when Quarantine Leaves You Purposeless
We are living in a period of history that we never imagined. Instead of New Years Resolutions, we were hit with a global pandemic, followed by a Stay-At-Home Order. We were forced into being still, into stopping our lives. But does this mean that our purpose in life has to come to a halt as well?

Below Rock Bottom!
It’s December 13, 2015. I’ve just woken up freezing cold and lying on top of an old bookcase in my makeshift shelter in a secluded field. I’m homeless. I have no money, no phone, and no transportation. I’ve lost everything in my life including my beautiful wife and 6 amazing children, my multi-million dollar business, all my income, close and dear friends, and my dream home.

Lost in Lockdown
Well, this is not fun, not having a job but being bombarded with college work. Luckily, I am still being paid from my bar job, but I’m stuck inside doing, what feels like, endless typing. My college document is almost at 10,000 words, and I’m pretty sure that isn’t even halfway, I had 12 days until my deadline, and I am struggling being stuck inside because I have so much to do. If I were still working, I definitely would not finish this work in time. Whilst I do go outside, in the garden, or for walks, I miss actually being able to go out, I miss waking up knowing that I can go out for food without having to spend more time queueing than shopping. Whilst I am not a big drinker, I miss going to the pub to play pool and socialise with my friends/colleagues. As much as I hate waking up early, I miss seeing my friends in college, I miss my teachers, and I miss the class banter. This is my final year in college, it’s highly unlikely that I’ll get to experience the jokes in college again and see my teachers. As soon as this lockdown is over, I’ll have to get a full-time job to pay bills and so I’m not just sitting at home with no income.

How To Bounce Back From Failure With 1 Photo, 1 Podcast & 1 Instagram Account.. Top Story - April 2020.
It was almost 2:00 A.M. when I cried myself to sleep. I was in a hotel room in Orlando, Florida for a family vacation, tossing and turning restlessly. Two days prior, I had been laid off from my job for the first time. Prior to that, I worked tirelessly through a PIP (performance improvement plan) for a whole month to stay at a premier, highly selective agency in San Diego. After many sleepless nights, panic attacks and stress cries, they decided to let me go.
