The City Keeps Us Alive
 

My heart is still heavy and it weighs me down every morning I wake up. It’s so hard to even think about waking up. The sky is so close to me and I see this beautiful city as I turn to my right side of the bed. I hear the construction sites drilling, making awful sounds, and unfortunately having the fire hall 5 mins away I can hear the ambulance every so often, but it’s already so tuned out. Living in a busy city doesn’t bother me at all anymore, it keeps us busy.


It keeps us working, networking, socializing and it keeps us from operating as human beings to work the 9 to 5 job. The career where we try to climb as high as you can go and those who take on the risk of creating a small business, the city keeps us alive. 


Here are some things I love to do on my own time living in a busy city (without COVID)


Finding the Right Coffee Shop

As every millennial out there whether you’re working on your blog, studying for an exam, or working online there’s always a place to find in the morning to drink your cup of coffee or tea (whichever one you prefer). Maybe you found that perfect spot and that perfect set up that no one knows about and it becomes your go-to with the same coffee you ordered a couple hours ago and you keep going until it’s time for you to find a new attraction. 


Weekend Nights 

Friday was the start of my weekend, I knew that I always needed to do something. To see my friends, my lover, and go out to have a good time. Bar hopping from one place to another was also interesting with my girls. We would walk everywhere that was open and try new beers and some places even had mini arcade games. My Fridays were also spent drinking and watching Netflix with my boyfriend which was more relaxing after a long week. Either way, I always found something to do to just let my mind be free.


Concerts & Events

There was always something going on in the downtown area. Where the concerts would start, the parties were lively and the night was filled with whatever you wanted to do. I wasn’t much of a concert person, but I did like going to sessions, creative classes, or volunteering even on my random weekdays alone or not. My purpose was to learn and keep learning different things even if it wasn’t something I was going to get into, but it was free and inspiring information to know about.


Taking a Stroll

The city I’m in right now isn’t a great idea for a stroll, but the next cities around me are great. There’s always something that I didn’t know existed and I end up finding small boutiques, cute coffee shops, and morning brunches. I love walking around and exploring. It fulfills my small travels when I can’t compensate for going around the world. 


The city will always be my home, it’s close to my friends and family. When I have many days that bring me down, I know I have interesting people to keep me alive.

Open your mind to new skills

Open your mind to new skills        It's 2020 and it's been a disaster across the world. It's the year where the world in our generation falls apart from left to right since the beginning of January. Do you even remember one of the first and biggest incident? Well from what I read in the beginning, it was the Australian Bush Fire. However, I'm not here to talk about the world crisis we're having, I'm here to give you reasons why you should be learning a new skill during your stay at home job, unemployment, or your boredom.      As history repeats its self when the world is at one of its lowest moments, a selection of entrepreneurs came out of the hell hole and into the new world. They seized the opportunity to live a better mindset because at that point you feel like you have nothing to lose. Financially stable or not, I really believe that you need to find a drive, you need to find something that grinds your gears into working for what you love to do. Dreams do

  i choose my mental health over a 9 to 5 job during covid-19 Just the title sounds so selfish but yes, I did terminate my existence from a corporate company where I wasn’t feeling at my best every day. Every answer I had to give out was always a different one. There was no transfer, no other company backing me up, but myself just trying to save my sanity and my soul. These are the many reasons why I chose myself today My initial goal was completed Goal setting is the key to everything, it gets you to focus on what you want and work your way to the things you need to do to get there. Having no goal makes you a bit scattered and might even find yourself lost. Working for a money machine corporation was such an unexpected turn in my life, I didn’t realize I would even consider it. Do you even know what my initial goal was to myself? I wanted to have my own office. It sounds so stupid and silly, but hey, you can’t judge something that I’ve done pretty well for a small goal. My first ste

What it feels like after quitting my job  - Full Article  It felt like the biggest sigh of relief that I was out of there. My mind was going crazy to even stay there for my last two weeks. I didn't even bother looking at my emails on my last day, but I made it through. I left after working for a company for four years. That took a lot of my years away from the more creative side of myself and into this independent person working a 9 to 5 job. I devoted my life to a working woman who just wanted to work for the rest of my life. It was almost as if I was going to die into that company.
