The Start of Something New
These past few years had taught me more than something.I have been struggling with my mental health for so many years. I took more pills than i could swallows, i cut deeper everyday wishing that it will end the pain. I always have struggles, especially a battle with myself. There are days i felt 101% and there are days that i felt 20%. Most of the days i felt nothing. It was really hard for me to keep going. There are so many things that keep on happening in my life. I've been surrounded by snakes, not the animal but the human-kind-of-snakes, and I almost lost my dad. I did lose my family for quite sometime and trust me, it was the lowest point of my life. I did everything i could to save them. It is true what they said, the harder you hold the rope, the deeper the wound. I decided to take one step back and let the universe do its job. Everyday i'll remind myself that it is okay to be not okay. One day i woke up feeling great and other day, i don't even want to move out of my bed. Worst part is, I have been betrayed by someone who i never thought would betrayed me and i have been hurt by someone who i never thought would hurt me. Never thought I am a strong person until being strong is the only choice i had. The moment i knew he was with another person, i know it will be the end for us and within a week, i lost him and my dearest aunt. She passed away only few days after we fought. I started to lose myself, i mean more to distance myself. At the moment i felt numb. Both of them meant so much to me and losing them, it makes me almost giving up but little did i know Allah have a better plan for me.

Owner vs Consumer
How much longer will you be stuck in this perpetual black-hole of always owing? There's not benefit in always being indebted to this world. How much money does a would chuck chuck, until a wood chuck chuck runs out of luck? Why risk the inheritance of your children's children on this world’s false promises? Can you continue to be the crack-head for a piece of paper that only has value based off its color? The sliver of tree that has been given more power than the very essence of life itself by humanity. It is a false idol that is as empty as the depths of the ocean at night. A lifeless stillness that watches as we trampled over each other like crabs in a barrel.

BREAKING HABITS
Habits can be good or bad depending on the outcome of these habits. The difficult part about breaking habits is not knowing that you are doing these habits. Like waking up every morning but cannot fully function unless you drink your coffee to start your day. An unnoticeable habit after a while starts to become a part of us and our life. Noticing something as easy as this can become a start to finding out your habit, Creating a new one and Ensuring Consistency.

Dear...
Dear Anger, Dude ... you really need to chill. You show up at the most inopportune times. Sometimes out of nowhere. I mean really, there's no need for your behavior. Yeah I get it, you think your actions are justified but are they really? You need to stop behaving so badly. It makes you look like a real shitty emotion. Like you can't control yourself. I know you are better than that. You show up over the littlest of things sometimes and cause me to say things I later regret. That's just not fair to me. Remember when you got me so upset because the laundry wasn't done, that I didn't speak to the boys for 2 days? WOW you are truly selfish. It wouldn't have even gotten that far if you had minded your own business. I think you need to keep yourself in check and the next time you choose to pop up out of nowhere and puff out your chest, you need to channel all that energy into something else. Get a hobby ... go meditate or just chill by yourself. Turn all that negative into a positive. Because honestly, I won't keep looking like an asshole because you don't know how to behave.

Quarantine made me a better version of myself
Hot take but the quarantine has been one of the best things to happen to me in a long time. While baking copious amounts of breads and treats, trying Chloe Ting workouts and binge watching The Great British Baking Show, I have simultaneously grown into a more authentic and healthy version of myself

Awareness to Forgiveness
I use to live my life looking for acceptance in others. I would walk the path of least resistance not for myself, but just to make others feel more comfortable around me. I would seek affection from others because I had none growing up in my single mother household. Therefore, after a while, I became rebellious towards anyone and anything that I thought was more about controlling me, rather than holding me and uplifting me.
