Red Queen’s Race
— Jay- Z

Your mind, body & soul.

Mental health is derived by so many factors you wouldn’t believe it! Ranging from internal factors such as genetics, self-esteem and your thought process to external factors such as your family of origin, community, socio-economic standing and so forth.

Think about it like this; your brain is like one big plant. If you hydrate it with water, it will grow, if you hydrate it with soda, it may survive for some time, but eventually, the plant's health will decline. The same applies to the mind. The more you feed it with positive, productive activities and purpose, the more it will grow. Of course, the word positive and productive can be subjective, and each individual has their idea of what positive and productive is.

This site is made for just that! Understanding one another's thoughts and ideas is also an essential part of mental health.

I will be discussing topics ranging from poverty, cultural views, the media, art, music, religion, etc. I know you're probably asking, "what does that have to do with mental health" and my response is "A lot, my friend." Not only will I share my thoughts and opinions based on research & my own personal and academic experience, but I also want you, the viewers, to be a part of this community. Each blog will have a comment, share, and like button. Feel free to express your ideas, thoughts, research, experiences, etc.
