[Krazy]

I hate to say this but I have to say it outloud


If it wasn't for working out/ sambo classes and meditation

I'd been lost it.
I feel as black man especially a father, we're not allowed to show fatigue, emotion, beer human punching bags and sacrifice to no end basically be robots

I find myself just driving around got hours going nowhere or sitting in my garage thinking and often times breaking down in tears

How has meditation helped?

I started during quarantine and fell off don’t think I have it a proper chance.

I was doing guided meditation

Helps with creating peace. Try box breathing as well. Idk if you believe in frequencies and energy levels like I do but when you Get to a certain frequency you're not bothered by bs energy doesn't dissipate its transferred so because who you let around you

Its either work or gym....

I'm blessed to have a job, but this corona is starting to destroy my spirit...

I'm gonna take a day trip somewhere and try to clear my head

Why is it frowned upon for us as black men to want quiet? Peace? Stability/ structure?
My ol lady be thinking im cheating just by relaxing in the garage(man cave/ gym now) or taking a ride listening to jazz/ ol school r&b
Plus she doesn't understand the mind state that goes into training. I train combat sambo that shyt is violent so no im not handing out flowers

I don’t believe in the energy frequency stuff.

But I’m all for creating piece.

That was the main reason I started to see if I can calm my thought.

Monday morning and feeling that downside right now.


One of the worst feelings that I experience is being in pain emotionally and mentally where i can feel the pain physically. It hurts so much. What's causing it is all sorts of triggers but one in particular has been fukking me up


I've been gaining more of an appreciation or a valuing of life as I've gotten older and its starting to weigh on me heavily especially with my environment around other people who dont feel the same way. I feel like I'm being forced to live life in the fast lane while at the same time putting my life on the line for nothing and I dont want to. I just want to be allowed to be vulnerable in a safe space where i can relax and not feel worried about anything. I wish us humans had the option to live forever and never die but it's not like that. I think a lot of people need to remember they have one life. Not nine. That's what's bothering me. Tired of being paranoid and feeling doomed and trapped. Even driving these roads everyday is scaring me. I'm paranoid as hell and have always been going back from when I was a child

 

[Striving For Greatness]

I’m trying to work my way back into the IT field via entry level but I’m having anxiety about these phone screenings and interviews

never had to do any of those and I’m not 100% qualified for some of the requirements these companies are asking for but I’m willing to learn quickly

also after I lost my first and only job in IT back in 2015 I gave up and started doing labor work at a warehouse but didn’t list that on my resume



I’m worried they’re going to ask about that 3-5 year gap. Thinking about telling them I was self employed selling things on eBay

You can probably get away with that or word it in such a way that you held a job while you was studying or in transition etc... Or you can add both or say both that you worked in the warehouse and used whatever software for inventory,shipping ,customer invoice etc and part time ebay etc.....

By the way on a side note, there are free covid certificate course you can add to your resume as something current to add it's free online.
