Recently, I have found the more we grow up, the more our mind wanders. The mind is a powerful component in our lives. It controls the decisions we make, the way we move, talk, and basically it is the reason for who we have become.
Currently, I am sitting in the corner of a hotel lobby, charging my MacBook Laptop because my mind is restless. This used to be an issue of mine, but I have not seen myself this restless in quite some time.

Anxiety is extremely overlooked and diminished as an illness in society. We need to wake up and clear our minds. The innovation and globalization of social media and technology has become to key factor in this overwhelming mind game society can’t seem to break away
