Another day

Visible to anyone in the world

It is quite a neutral day. Barely any sun and cloudy. A little bit gloomy but calm. I feel empowered today to write and study more than I did yesterday. I also watched the movie - A Cure for Wellness - such a brilliant movie as it has such cinematic creativity and an interesting story. I highly recommend it on Prime Video. It captivated me to keep watching and watching till the end. 

Will I have the strength to exercise today? We will see. I don't feel that motivated lately to exercise, but I realize that it is not only good for my body, but also for my mind. I need a mental boost every now and then. Otherwise, I do feel very lazy to do what I enjoy. What motivates you to exercise? If you would like to comment your ideas, I would really appreciate it. 

So far in my communication and posts on the forums, I find it very encouraging to have my classmates comment and give feedback. I realize that this is a very supportive group which I very much appreciate as I am just starting. I hope that I will do well, but since I am just starting, it might take a bit of time for me to unwrap my mind to these new concepts and information. My mind can be slow sometimes, but I do like to take in the most I can from what I see. 

While I write my blog, I like to listen to jazz. It is very calming and less distracting for me. Though, I do like to listen to my pop and rock now and again. Music is such a gift to the soul. It helps me to relax, dance, and contemplate the importance of having fun in life. We must enjoy the life we have been given or even what's left of it. What is life without having the ability to enjoy it? All I can say is to make the most of it.

UPDATE

Visible to anyone in the world

Dear Reader

I apologize for not posting in a while. Things have gotten so hectic. I didn't get the job that I was interviewed for at a photo developing company. I am quite bummed about it but what can one do but keep trying. Currently, I am unemployed, but I must keep moving forward although it is quite discouraging and difficult sometimes. What can I do but push forward and try.

Life didn't present itself as so difficult and heart-breaking when I was little. When I grew up into adulthood, it was quite a shock to the system actually. Having to adapt to the change, I needed to be put onto anti-depressants. Modern times are definitely hard considering the messed-up world we live in. How can one live without being medicated, I wonder, since it is not a very pleasant world to live in after all?

All I desire, once in a while, is to roam through a forest and smell that green nature that I cannot get by living in the city. All I can smell sometimes is furniture at home or the fumes of emissions from the car exhaust or living in the same routine without a break. I think that most are medicated for the sake of trying to survive in a hostile or boring environment without any adventure. 

Well, all is good in the hood anyhoo. I have what I need so what else could I ask for? I should count my blessings to make myself feel a bit better which I have been doing, and it does work. Life is hard but all we can do is to do our best and wait out the circumstances as time will heal and mend itself.
