The Best Of You!



Mental health is something we all need,
A state of mind that's free from greed,
A balance between our heart and soul,
That helps us reach our ultimate goal.

It's the ability to cope with stress,
To face our fears and not regress,
To find the strength to carry on,
When all around us seems to be gone.

Mental health is the key to happiness,
The foundation of our inner bliss,
The light that shines through every storm,
it makes us warm while remaining preserved.

It's the courage to seek help when we need it,
To open up and let others see it,
To break down the walls that we have built,
And find the love that we have spilt.

So, take care of your mental health, my friend,
And let it guide you to the very end,
For it's the one thing that will never die,
and will constantly there to guide you in setting off.

Mental health is an essential part of our overall well-being, and it affects how we feel, think, and behave each day. It also contributes to our decision-making, problem-solving, and how we relate to others in our lives. Good mental health allows us to cope with the normal stresses of life and permits productive work output while allowing for meaningful contributions to society.

It’s important to guard and improve psychological wellness using appropriate measures. Different circumstances can affect your mental health, so it’s essential to be aware of risk factors and signs that may indicate mental distress. Seeking help when needed is a courageous step towards maintaining good mental health Remember that your mental health is an integral part of your well-being. Take care of it, and let it guide you towards a fulfilling life

Princess Susi Etelagi

My name is Princess Susi Etelagi, born in Pagopago American Samoa in November 3rd 2004. I left my home country ever since I was 8 and lived with my grandmother’s village more than 13 years till now.

Before I become a writer, I used to be lazy and of course I can read but never learned any words just yet.
