Love Songs & Chill
I have just created this new playlist of Love songs & Chill mix on Spotify on my laptop. I created this playlist because even though I been through a lot of bad break ups with lots of different Former girlfriends. No matter what I go through in life somehow, I always find my way back to liking a lot of current and old love songs. The songs themselves bring me back to specific times in certain relationships or even friendships as well. It reminds me of the good and bad times, but even though they all ended at least we have our memories of it all between us. During these trying times with being home more often than before without working these days. One thing that I continue to do on a daily basis is to work on myself and to love myself more often than before because if I don’t learn how to start loving myself again, then who will I be able to attract to love me for me and not for what I have or anything else specifically.

Dancing in the Rain
Rainy days used to spark a sense of dread within me. There's something about the cold, wet, grey days that makes me want to hide in bed. Time to wrap myself up in a fuzzy blanket and cocoon until the sun comes back out. These kind of days are the norm for me. I have suffered from depression for many years, and frankly, I will take any excuse to crawl back into my safe, warm bed and avoid the world. As much as I know that I'm not alone in these feelings, sometimes its hard to imagine not feeling like a failure. Motivation is limited most days... if I show up on time to a planned engagement or even to work, its a bit of a miracle.

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?
