Pandemic Thoughts

-
Now, more than ever, the world seems to be at a halt. Businesses are no longer booming like they used to. Our friends and family seem more agitated than ever. The idea of tomorrow seems like an eternity. Life in and of itself, doesn't seem as promising as it used to. The fantasy sold to us by a retirement account now seems like a nightmare: a nonexistent point in time.

The world is not what it used to be, everyone seems dazed. No one can really articulate their panic properly, so we just overcompensate by buying in excess- a false sense of security. We are ready to do what ever it takes to get by, whether it be washing our hands repetitively or buying a $15 can of overpriced Lysol. When did life become so precious? Did it really have to take a worldwide pandemic to reflect on the fragility of our time here? I guess so.

Now, more than ever, I've become quite reflective myself. Lots of time has been on my hands and inevitably, lots of it has been put to the test mentally. I've been trying to get a sense of my belonging within my career. I've come to realize that my duty on this earth has not quite been fulfilled.

Many people may feel similarly; they aren't ready to say goodbye or ready to take their last breathe. They can't even fathom the idea of having to fade away into deep sleep hooked onto a a respirator; a not so glorious way to exit this world. More than anything, we haven't quite realized our purpose, or at least we haven't discovered it to begin with. This sort of psychological crisis, reminiscent of a midlife crisis, has come to us when we least expected it. COVID-19 has taken a mighty hold on our psych, more than we would like to admit.

Taking the time to discover what lights your fire on soul, makes you breathless, and keeps you wanting more can reap miraculous benefits. The ability to participate in your sole purpose will give you feelings beyond a sense of accomplishment, it will mark your time here on earth and leave you feeling at peace with your finite purpose. The ability to leave behind your spiritual legacy will give you an inner sense of enjoyment, an unmatched energy that will allow you to experience heightened levels of well-being and enjoyment. For most of us, COVID-19 has become a top priority, so we might as well embrace it: a positive force that will guide us beyond pandemic proportions.

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...
