Young Adult Musings

Do you see it? Do you feel it? Mass unemployment, climate change, mass surveillance. So. Much. Decay.

Going after your dreams is one of the hardest things you can do. Along your journey you'll see people "make it" doing a whole lot less. You'll struggle with comparing yourself to others. You'll do more, try harder for seemingly nothing. All you can do is persevere until you get your chance; your "one."

Introducing a mini series for the Young Adult Musings podcast "Inner Work." A series where I interview myself deconstructing my thoughts and emotions to cope with the uncertainty and frustration of life. In this episode I awake in what my subconscious self calls a "subconscious liminal space." "Not quite a dream, definitely not reality, but constructed BY reality." Enjoy, hopefully something reson...

Introducing, the very first Young Adult Musings "Original," Indomitable - Don't Fuck Around. This is the first episode of an anthological-esque superhero series debuting with the strongest hero in the verse: Indomitable. Black market serums are exacerbating crime in the city. Becoming "altered" is making criminals bold. Sound Effects: -ZapSplat (majority of production) - Freesound.org (below) - Cr...

I was distraught to say the least upon seeing the election results. I felt doomed for a bit but no, I shouldn't; WE shouldn't. Hate Will Never Win.

I suffer from serious self doubt sometimes; but I'm hopeful that if I keep on creating and living intuitively everything is going to be okay. I got this, and so do you.

We all got a fire within us, we're energy after all. Usually my "fire" is regular degular, doing it's thang. Other times it's roaring with confidence! Many times it's bogged down, dying out; reduced to embers.

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.

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...

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.

Down Low. Since leaving my first out of college job I've just been getting by and I'm tired of it.

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...

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...

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.

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?!

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.

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.
