there will be those days. Days of confusion, doubt and fear. There will be days where life seems meaningless. There will be chaos thrown at every corner you turn. Keep the faith! It is never too late to give it to the lord. He already has it. You must just come to terms with it. Keep persisting, Keep giving life your all. Most importantly, Keep the faith!

Tips to help with mental-health
Part 1:
I am in no way shape or form a specialist, psychologist, mental-health doctor etc. If you have severe or chronic depression, anxiety etc. consult a specialist. But I do know the seriousness of mental-health and how most take it lightly. Some tips that I have used and currently using to work on my mental health are the following:
- Belief in God : I believe the number one solution to mental-health and having a healthy and sound mind is being aware that God is real, present and is the creator of heavens and earth. All power and might belong to him and him solely. Having this belief and certainty will carry you through a lot of problems in life. You become cognizant that God is really the only one who knows and understands you. So you must trust him. After all, he created you. It is only common sense to believe and have faith in your creator.
- Prayer: prayer works in ways that cannot be explained. Prayer is that connection with God, the communication and source you need to thrive and stay positive. With prayer you are able to release and be present. With prayer it increases hope and faith. Prayers keeps your mind and soul occupied against negative, self-destructive thoughts and thinking. Prayers give your protection. Prayer is so very important when it comes to mental-health.
- Work: There is a saying “ an idle mind is the devils playground.” You must stay busy, keep yourself active and work towards a goal. Especially if you are dealing with mental health issues. Sitting around and just thinking and staying in your mind is the absolute worse thing you can do. That gives a way for the devil to entertain you with doubts, confusion and keep you in past mistakes and conflicts. whether it is starting a business, school, career, helping in the community etc. always do something to keep you focused and in the moment. There is so much work to be done!
- Good company: you become like the people you hang around. It is important to be around people who care about your well being, and help you become a better person. You want the right energy and vibrations to rub off on you, not the opposite. The people you hang around are like a mirror/reflection of yourself. Your mindset is very sacred, as well as your mental well-being, Surrounding yourself with the right people is necessary for a good and healthy lifestyle.

Bittersweet
When the road seems never ending. When things don’t go the way as planned. That is when you must keep going. Life has its way of bringing the equilibrium you thought was never there. Bittersweet. The bitterness allows you to enjoy the sweetness that is bound to come. When the tears continue to pour and the pain gets to a breaking point, you must continue, the reward is greater. Look at your state, how far you have come, what you have overcome is that not a victory? It is nothing but the lords Love and mercy.
necessary
It is almost as vital as the air we breathe to give respect and kindness to others. The times we are living in now are getting tougher. People are becoming desensitized and only encapsulated in social media, trends, partying etc. So many individuals are dealing with depression, anxiety and other extreme mental illnesses. Suicide is getting to a new extreme, people are really going through it. you really never know what someone is going through inside, that is why it is necessary to be kind to others. Treat people the way you want to be treated. It is very simple yet so hard for people to do.
It is becoming the new norm; people are just giving up left to right. Almost every time I scroll through feed, read the blogs news etc., someone has taken their life, Senseless killings, inhumane treatment, injustice etc. This world is really coming to a point where it feels as if the end is near. People are losing their ever-loving mind. All it takes is a smile, acknowledgement or a kind word. It literally cost nothing to be kind, but yet it is the hardest for us to do.
When you do good to others, good comes back to you and vice versa. How you treat people says a lot about you. We are living in a time where kindness can change the world. It can bring some sort of humanity back. Love on yourself and especially be kind to others. Every soul is facing something, no one goes without a trial or test. Kindness gets you through.
Mountain
we all face a mountain. Taller, vaster and greater than Mount Everest. The mountain is the battle in which at it’s peak is the victory. Just like Everest, not many make it over or to the top, It is the will and drive that keeps the body and soul moving forward. When victory arises and the quest complete, all else becomes bliss. Get over and to the top, the top is where the winners reside, where the strivers and persistent dwell. Climbing is the journey, the experience and blessing in disguise.
I will get over and to the top
I will shout across the mountains
“victory is here and it is mine”
I will not give up the strive.
I will fight as long as I am alive!
I am not your muse
you cannot create what you choose, control my narrative or well being. I don’t need alterations, highlights or details. I am that unique individual and special kind of girl. what you see is what you get. Remember God is not finished yet! I am powerful but kind, sweet but a mastermind. Ahead of my time but I don’t carry pride. There is no room in my being for me to persuade or change your views of me. I am not your muse, can’t you see?
freethinking
my mind has been freed.
freethinking has saved me.
not a slave to society.
only God has control of me.
so, when you see me, know that you are looking at a product of freethinking.
Blessed to have this control.
Peace of mind is worth more than Gold.
Truth be told, it is all in the mind.
Freethinking is simply sublime.
going forward
Never give up the fight. Never say no to life. Things and people change, everything temporary nothing stays the same. There is death and life and we undoubtedly will experience both. No need to look back at yesterday, look forward and stay hopeful and God will make a way. Always go forward.
Poem
Title: “Beginning“
The love I feel is beginning to rise. The moment I look in your eyes I feel a sense of butterflies. Lifting me up and taking me away, it’s crazy how love can make a person feel this way. Even with the trials I still see your beauty. Your love continues to shine through. What a blessing it has been to have you. In my heart and in my mind you make me feel like a towering mountain. You make me feel that great. The love I feel is beginning to rise and it will continue to rise until it reaches the sun.
Self-love
Prioritize yourself. You are all you truly have. Stop the comparison. there is only one you.
Love yourself and the way God created you. So many things distract us from true beauty. Social media has become a dangerous place to be.
trying to be every celebrity, but even they don’t want to be themselves. Be gracious and grateful. Most importantly be patient with yourself. Nobody knows your strive, battle and what you had to overcome. Keep yourself a priority, there will never be another you. Cherish the very thought.
Faith
when everything in your world seems like its crashing
people whom you love, deteriorate your heart.
when there seem to be no door to escape; like you are pinned to confusion.
Have faith. Have trust. stay silent and pray.
faith is the truth, a guiding force and a light. Faith gives you the courage to move on, even when nothing seems to be going right.

Time
It is time to give it to God. Time to stop worrying about what’s coming. God’s plan is infinite and most appropriate. Time to live in the moment. We have but so much, yet God has everything and beyond our minds could comprehend. It is time, most definitely time to be aware, alert and focus; the devil is plotting a strenuous plot. The world has become a ball of confusion, too many souls distracted by illusion. Before you give in, before you give up hope and life seem as though it will never tire of giving hardships, remember that nothing is forever in this life. Be mindful of time. Be mindful of God he has full control.
learning
the process of life and everything that resides within.
waking up daily gracefully; anticipating the grace and mercy of the lord.
faith flows through my being. looking forward to everything that’s in store.
learning is endless. seeking knowledge until my soul meets the lord.
chosen one
you just know it in your heart.
you feel it deep within your soul.
The endless trials.
The endless betrayal
God is making a way.
You are the chosen one.
keep your head high.
keep your inner self serene.
They try to destroy you because you light up the scene.
your being is a blessing, and you diminish the unnesessary.
Your perseverance and patience cannot be compare.
You are most definitely the chosen one.
you are loved
You are loved.
you are worthy.
nothing less of a human.
be mindful of your gift.
The gift of life, so temporary.
gratitude is plenty.
you are loved, despite what it may seem.
Never question God’s mercy.
He loves you more than a mother to her child.
look deep within and take a moment, now breathe.
you were chosen life. So live now. Live and succeed.
Fasting
poem:
The beauty of Ramadan , will never bee understood.
The serenity within this month, is more freeing than childhood.
Glory to the most high for better and bright days.
Ramadan has cleared my mind and washed my problems away.
Focused on God, his book and truth.
Ramadan is here.
Ramadan is here.
Ramadan is undoubtedly here.
The devil has fleed.
my soul is freed. From any person or worldly thing.
Living in the moment
Life has thrown many curveballs, I have been blessed to duck and dive and make my way out with the power of prayer and mercy of the lord. Trust In God is the ultimate key to it all. I will never loose trust in God for he has seen me through the darkest of days. The best way of adjusting to life as I know now, is living in the moment. This very moment is the truth, what is presented before me should be the only focus. yes it is great to plan for the future, but to ponder , worry and stress about what is to come is a great way to meet with anxiety and depression. We have no control over the future, there fore we must plan , hope for the best and leave the rest for the almighty to carry out.
Let go and let God
Living in the moment and focusing on the now leads to peace and clarity of thought. What was can not be changed or brought back. No sense of holding onto things that cannot be undone. Let it all go and let God take care of it all. One of the biggest challenges I have had for an extremely long time is letting go of the past. Anytime I would sincerely do my best to be on top and move to new heights in life, a cloud from my past would float to the top of my being and Rain on me showers of doubt, hate , regret, animosity and revenge. Holding on to the past has crippled me in many ways ; since letting go and moving forward with trust in the almighty, I have regained a better insight. The past has mad me feel bitter and ugly. But my overpowering faith continues to break me out of that nasty bitter place.
Art and the present moment
One of the reasons I love art , being an artist and creating is because of the great space it puts me in. Everything is present, every stroke of the brush , color of paint , hand movement etc gives me an airy feeling of just being. I thank you all so much for following and supporting me on my journey.

be kind
It is so important to be kind to others. you never know a battle someone is facing. Pretending is such a common practice most adhere to. Pretending to be happy, pretending everything is ok etc. So just because someone smiles and says they are ok , most of the time they are not. Just because someone has riches and success does not mean they are happy with themselves or their life. Life is Very hard. It is meant to be a challenge and test. So many deaths of suicide are all too common. I mean frequent, back to back; you here of not just only regular everyday people but A list celebrities. That should tell you something. No Amount of money or success in this world can bring you peace or happiness. Focus on God, focus on loving yourself. and most importantly be kind to others and especially to yourself.
keep moving
keep moving.
no matter the obstacle, test or trial.
keep moving , good things come after a while.
your perseverance does not go unnoticed.
your existence is a blessing.
stop stressing and keep moving.
Ramadan
so blessed to see another year in this beautiful month of Ramadan. This is the second Ramadan , most of us are witnessing in this pandemic. This Ramadan has made me even more grateful and appreciative to fast. to be able to fast and cleanse the heart, mind , body and soul in this month is definitely a blessing and mercy. I will take full advantage of this month as most everyone should. death is surrounding us daily, everyday at a rapid pace. be grateful and thankful to be a part of this holy month. This month I am solely focused on God, reading Quran , meditating as well eating foods not harmful for the body. I really cherish this time of year because it is a time to really change your life over 30-days. God says in the Quran : O ye who believe! Fasting is prescribed to you as it was prescribed to those before you, that ye may (learn) self-restraint,( Sura 2:183).
Fasting is what our souls need ; it is what our bodies have been craving for ! Fasting heals and restores ! enjoy this blessed month and Get close to God.
