Another month has surpassed us and the world has remained in its stagnant state. Confined to the walls of our home can surely lead to some type of inner madness. 

Let’s gain back control of the uncontrollable.

Covid-19 has emerged into our lives without much of a warning and speaking for the rest of the world—we are livid.

A wise tale states that “One bad apple can spoil the whole bunch.” Covid-19 has now become the epitome of that saying.

So the question remains: How does one cope with Covid-19?

1. Never undermine your emotions. Allow your emotions to pour out of you as if you’re Niagara’s Falls newest competition. Learn to validate you. Learn to validate vulnerability. Growth is the process of growing through past ruins of yourself while understanding ones to come.

2. Continue to create. 

3. Give yourself the opportunity to just simply be. Your body is your home and you must treat it as such. Self care is always a number one priority. 

4. Embrace nature. 

5. Check up on yourself. The state of your mental health needs to always be a necessity engraved into your daily life. Bond with your insecurities. Bond with your scars. Create a relationship with that beautiful mind of yours. Nurture the well being of who you are, want to be, and will become. You matter.

Remember that although the world has stopped, it does not mean you do the same.

Time is on your side.

Yes, our daily routines have become quite stagnant, yet your purpose has a continued growth.

Allow yourself self to grow through the cracks of the concrete. Break through the surface.

Find new interests. Find new hobbies. Find the things that have often peaked your interest in the past.

There’s purpose in any and everything this world has to offer us. Often times we allow negativity to outweigh all the positivity that comes our way.

Refresh. Redo. Rethink.

Try to become one with nature and all the things it has to offer. Plant a tree. Start a garden. Build.

Start that long awaited book you been wanting to write. Cook that new recipe you’ve been looking at. Teach yourself how to sew

Continue to water yourself. Continue to flourish.

Often times it’s hard to let go of something when love is attached to the hem of it.

Being that it becomes quite difficult to release what we’ve gotten comfortable with, we’re put into a space of confusion.

Admit it.

Comfortability is an individuals personal attachment. We must learn how to detach from stagnant lifestyles, and venture out of our comfort zones.

Don’t misunderstand my wording.

Letting go is a definite process. You must suffer in order to succeed.

Acknowledge your haven’t foreseen growth. Apply pressure towards it.

Often times we overlook the bigger image of our lives hiding behind the view in front of us.

Discontinue immobilizing yourself, and push pass what’s seen in our peripheral vision.

You once lived a life before it. You can live another one afterwards. Start a new chapter within your beautiful disasters.

Make it your best one.

(1) She was empty. She was full. She was insecure. She was secure. She wanted to be somebody. She didn’t know how to be anybody. She had nobody. She had everyone. She was happy. She was sad. She had love. She wanted to be loved. She doesn’t know what love is. She was fearful. She was feared. She wanted to be fearless. She was alone. She was surrounded. She was confused. She was certain. She was wild. She was sane. She was good. She was bad. She made bad decisions, she made good ones. She talked to herself. She laughed. She cried. She slept. She was lost until she was found. She was herself.

(2) Let your emotions fluctuate through him verbally. Billow your way deep into his sense of happiness. Allow an ocean to sea itself in their current tide of self destruction. Wave an offing off him. Bury his apologies in the sands of no return. You no longer swim in his shallow heart.

(3) Our memories dissolved on the tip of my tongue. Where your name used to be.

(4) You still sip on him…. He poured you out a long time ago.

(5)We weren’t meant to be. Maybe sexuality. We don’t connect mentally. We were just physically, intertwined emotionally. Intellectually tongue tied.

(6) Although you’re a fountain, everyone is t allowed to drink from you.

Honorable mention in relation to Valentine’s Day approaching:

violating my validation you’ve spoiled me before my expiration but my return to you is in sensations that ones temptation didn’t have a say in i’m your play pin to play in lay in, behave in, as you begin to create within these walls of pure magnitude

im content with you, but she has an attitude and shes bad for you but with a tongue of her own she speaks to you in songs through intervals of slight moans

As we’ve entered a new decade, we’re now seeking a new found freedom. We’re in the mix of searching for lost souls, adventures, healing, and growth. Casting away the old molds of ourselves, we now rebuild our house creating a home.

Take care of yourself.

Invite happiness back into this decade, for sadness has overstayed it’s welcome. Learn to offer yourself back the smile that has been taken away from you, let laughter take over.

Don’t dwell on mishaps so often.

We must learn how to balance. We must learn to accept defeat, weather our storms, and allow growth to rise from it.

Find patience.

Stability will find you. Love will find you. Happiness will find. You will find you. Dedicate this decade to yourself.

Allow the world to be written in the palms of your hands, you are now the author of this story.

The seeking of the profound word “love” must be sought out through an inner self evaluation.

You must create harmony within the confines of your body, creating a repeating melody of self worth.

Love is an invisible bliss.

Living in a world composed of complete chaos, it’s immensely dense to seek the term known as “happiness”. We’ve adjusted our lifestyles to find contentment through the ruins of our lives.

As individuals of this world, we lose sight of our primary mission of living. We descend into the riches of our existence hoping to find genuineness within ourselves. Ones source of income, could never amount to attain ones happiness.

Happiness is never to be found, but to be reached, and fulfilled. We tend to pursue different forms of happiness through the lens of materialistic possessions, and individuals.

Yes one may be capable of making you happy, yet is not their responsible for keeping you that way. Discontinue yourself from the temporary fixes, that eventually turn into long term habits.

The fulfillment of your happiness is on the span of your timing. Remain patient, for happiness is never to be rushed.

Overflow yourself with love. Learn to appreciate the simplicity of the smaller things, while grasping the appreciation of your individuality, self worth, and value.

Happiness will look grand on you!

Often times we submerge ourselves into a comfortable state of self destruction. Don’t allow yourself to use psychological deflection to undermine your emotions.

The undermining of ones emotions steers a clear path towards the spiraling of your mental health. Do not confine your issues into a four corner enclosed box, hindering yourself from your desired freedom.

Growth only begins to develop when the acknowledgment of your problems are placed at hand.

Your pain doesn’t define your progress, your progress is determined by your process. The manner of how you evaluate your inner conflict, may begin to create conflicting views within.

Never be afraid to ask for a helping hand in life, it may save yours.

As humans of this world, we often tend to gender bash each other, regarding lifestyles that aren’t considered the “norm”

Being that we live amongst a wide range of diversity in individuals, it becomes difficult to accept the difference of cultures, sexuality, and opinions from others.

Despite the fact, that you may uphold a different cultural background from another, simply does not mean a bond can not be formed.

With a multitude of aspects that we’re connected with, a “bond”ship can be established through an abundant amount of different ways.

Even considering the fact that “love” is added into this equation, just complicates things even more.

You can only receive the love, you allow in.

Give yourself the opportunity to see individuals through a lens of who they truly are.
