The ongoing dilemmas

To be consistent with something nowadays can be hard. I have this here blog… I forget at times I have it with so much going on in my life. What’s in store is so immaculate I can not begin here to tell you, I must only show you over time.

For anyone to be consistent with something takes great willpower and continuous motivation unless you grew up into it, so then it could come natural. How long does it take for an activity to become a habit? I heard 30 days. Props to everyone who is able to keep up with productivity, passions, fitness, and all the good stuff that we may submerge ourselves in, to show up life.

A new thought I have which transforms the mindset of getting by nowadays, especially for people still figuring out how to sustain themselves in the matrix…

First off : the property costs; rent and mortgage crisis; property tax; class division. How is it that one is to move out of their parents house? Career choice is crucial. Consistency is a key. Roommates?? Move out the way? Once I’ve gone out and lived on my own, roommates or not, I realize the value of living with family while I am still building my status in my career choice (finally). Why is there pressure to move out as a young adult in some cases? “The american standard.” If one is to turn around and look at the home and family from a new position, it is a blessing to be able to live in unison. The dilemmas are definitely something the youth must realize they have the power to change. To help the house instead of harm it. Respecting our elders parameter, helping the household – groceries, bills, toilet paper, etc. – and keeping the peace so we can become an individual while in the mist of creating a life for ourselves and hopefully continuing the legacy is something I’ve come to agreement and comfort with. The expansive gratitude I have for this scenario is eternal. My understanding that I and many others are blessed with elders that have space for us, while some do not have those people, is only one way of grasping reality to help the next person in similar situations. My admiration and different strengths go to people who have no choice but to become independent and are capable to keep up with life the best they can. We all operate differently for sure yet there is a mindset and respect for being presented an opportunity of living together and preserving it. There’s always a chance for a fight were we fuck up our relationships and feel like we have to flee or to avoid the people we are trying to live with.

My main point – while we are good for it and until we feel we are ready – to be able to live together in a household as a family and work together and respect our elders is such an underrated dynamic for young adults and anyone trying to maintain and build a life. With rent and prices of homes drastically isolated from the average income, we do not need to feel stuck with this mindset. Escape the current matrix while we are trying to conquer it. Value the family household like so many cultures do. Community. The American grow up stereotype is invalid for most of us still trying to heal and find a game we want to get our head into.

Everyone has a purpose and a gift to give the world. That does not look the same for everyone. To accept our path as our own and no judgements can beat us down, keep healing and find peace and happiness in our journeys. That is the beauty against all odds.

It’s crazy how thoughts can expand into a complete world… how can we get there?

community… unity… shared space… vs. owning land/homes… separation.. based disagreements push us away… this life is yours.. I won’t let the matrix take it… American life needs more inspiration from community based cultures because my mom says she sees separation unlike ever before… all opinions on the table… I see hope and love… lets make our new thoughts and dreams come alive…. change the ways and remember… remember ? remember how we can be together…
