A Casual Day

-
Everyday we are reminded of the routine, get up in the morning, produce, and repeat. There is usually never a moment of hesitation to think that this cycle will unendingly repeat itself. No one ever stops and asks themselves, "what if tonight is my last, and I never see the sun tomorrow morning?" We get wrapped up in a state of immortality when in reality, we are far from it. Everything from money, emotions, and health are all just momentary in their existence. Many of us hope to be eternal, but no one can really put their finger on that either. So we are left with a sense of doom, an internal battle on how to live. Do we really live for just today, or do we embrace for tomorrow and the many days to come after our presence has left this earth? It's a constant mental battle that influences our every action whether we know it or not. Our inward thoughts definitely manifest themselves in some way or another regardless of whether we are in tune with that reality or not. Unfortunately, many of us do not even realize this to begin with, or we would rather just live a life of denial. If that form of coping mechanism helps you to escape the anxiety from the reality we must face, then I can bear with you. But, if you seem to rely on this methods as a way to dictate your philosophy on life, then I can see many problems unfolding. Where there is a lack of conscientiousness, there will be a lack of compassion, understanding, and empathy. These qualities are very important for the human existence, they really do make us more human than you think. If you got up this morning and reminded yourself that the clock is ticking, I congratulate you. If you failed as a human being but got up the next day to apologize, Amen.

Depressive Anxiety

We’ve all heard of it before. Maybe it struck a chord deep within. Maybe not. You can’t really tell anyways. You’re too numb to internalize anything, anyways. You register it all at once, or not at all. You let it build up and consume you. People around you notice, you remind yourself once more. Heightened senses make your logic unrecognizable. You can’t process what’s on your mind. Your energy becomes disorganized, An interrupted soul. Hope becomes a nonexistent entity, Far beyond your reach anyways. A source of divinity, you hope will make amends; Or just drown away, illicitly.

From Insignificance to Purpose

Whenever we try to figure out where we are headed, it seems as though a destination may never abound. Whether it has to do with a career change, choosing the right item on a menu, or starting a fad diet, it can all lead to a sense of frustration. The more we attempt to reconcile our indecisiveness, the more blurred the path towards a resolution becomes. We get stuck in an inevitable rut, which leads to more unproductive behavior. This lack of progress is considered a spiritual limbo: a place where people rarely escape from. Similar to a prison term, you may start to question the many choices you've made, and how you've brought about your current situation. These 'life lessons' no longer seem to have a rhyme or reason; what we once thought of as a learning experience can no longer serve us for the better. All the inner commotion can sink in and weigh us down heavily, causing us to reevaluate our purpose, our mode of existence and reality. These feelings can easily sti...

Taking Ahold

Control is very powerful. Some of us seek to establish control, and others submit to it. Whether it be a sense of powerlessness, or simple anxiety, a sense of control is vital to establishing our grip on life. Some of us resort to religious ideologies, and others resort to criminal activity and affiliations in order to grab a hold of an identity and sense of belongingness. These forms of congregating allows us to be controlled by a leader or an overarching theme. We may ask ourselves, why do we have a burning desire to be led and guided along our own individualized paths? The answer resides in human nature in itself, the need to assert dominance and conquer territory of its own. Throughout the primal periods of existence, our ancestors evolved on the basis of control. Many forms of government and religious figures emerged and sustained their existence by the mere ability to provide a sense of order to a population in disarray. As the saying goes, "history repeats itself...
