OCD, obsessive compulsive disorder sucks to say the least. It's a grip on the brain with an aggressive hand that doesn't let up. It forces you to partake in whatever task it desires in an attempt to appease it. Unfortunately, engaging at all makes it worse.

A troubled mind is a troubled life. While there are many things we can't control, our thoughts aren't one of them. Life is already hard enough, be gentle with yourself.

Simply put, fuck job searching. You put in SO MUCH to get very little. You get ghosted, generic ass repetitive rejections, and scams hit your inbox; It's annoying! I just want a job I don't hate that funds my lifestyle, where it at?!
Reflection, definition: serious thought or consideration. I spend a lot of time in my head reflecting on my current life. I ponder about the future and how I desire positive change. Life is unexpected, the journey is a messy route of lows and highs. As a young adult you don't have a grip on things; but I believe with time, we will.
Depression is a lurker; a mental destroyer. It lingers, consuming your thoughts and feelings leaving you descending to depths beyond sad and low. It casts a cloud over you, dulling life. It makes you think the worst of yourself and the world around you. It has a compelling voice, convincing you to stay in your worst states of mind. But no matter how bad it makes you feel: depression is strong, but you're stronger. Friendly Free Sounds (toothbrushing sound effect): https://youtu.be/evb2jqgJ7yA?si=_o3GHhMHAx7gg2_V
It's your day off or the end of a workday. At last, you can relax and enjoy yourself. Everything's going great, you're having fun. You glance at the time, damn... It's getting late. But it's not THAT late, you can still be up. So you do. An hour goes by, then 2; it's getting really late. You have work in the morning; ugh fucking work in the morning. You should probably head to bed, but you're not looking forward to the next day. You don't want the night to end. So you self sabotage.

Down Low. Since leaving my first out of college job I've just been getting by and I'm tired of it.
There's a storm within all of us. Sometimes it stirs, rumbling, maybe cracking thunder ready to downpour; but you have to resist. The damage isn't worth it.
Raw shows 2 things, raw emotion and what I nearly named this episode: candid pain. In this episode you hear a voice message I recorded yesterday in a group chat with friends. After being strung along and rejected for an opportunity I thought I had a good shot at, I broke down. It's vulnerable, but I fashioned it into a Young Adult Musings experience because it's real. Many are searching for a good opportunity and they try and try and try to no avail.
Episode 10, the season finale for Young Adult Musings season 1, "Break. Through." In the end, we'll all win. No matter what, we'll Break. Through.
