ART

​To certain people

Art is art

Just art

People showing off their talents

People making money off their talents 


But to some of us

Art is life

All we have when words fail

Our get-away car

Our “get out of jail” card 

When our emotions lock us in

To us

It is our voice

Paintings, songs, poetry, dance

Art is ART

Where people find comfort 

Where people find happiness 

Where people escape from the pain

Not just paint on canvas

Or writings on paper 

Art is our story 

Words never to be spoken

Hidden secrets behind every line 


I wish more people can see the beauty in art 

How powerful art is

But I guess that’s what’s so beautiful about art 

Only few people understand its power 

& only few will understand my story


Thank God for the gift of ART! 


Love, Ibiene

Hello !

  I would not classify myself as a writer or someone who even loves to write.  I've always thought that stuff like blogging is for people who write stories, poems, inspiring articles and what not but no actually (So if you want to start a blog and you're looking for motivation, here you go, DO IT) I created this blog because I have a lot to talk about. Like I have so much stuff saved in my notes that I need to share with people. Stuff about my spiritual growth & everything God is teaching me, books I've read ( I love reading) and even my journey through medical school. Honestly, it's going to be a whole lot and I'm going to try and be as open as possible and I earnestly pray that this blog helps someone.  On that note, you are most definitely welcome to tio's thoughts. Love, Ibiene

Crippled by fear?

  Hi everyone First of all, do you ever get like anxiety when you're about to post something online, maybe on your Instagram or youtube channel or whatever? Because I do & from my first post till now, I've been contemplating whether or not to continue with this because I said I was going to try and be open, which is hard but I'm here now. Apart from that, I've been busy with exams, and let me tell you something, I know I'm just starting and it gets tougher as you go up but medicine is not for the weak, honestly. So only go into it if you are passionate about it, LIKE REALLY REALLY Anyways today, I'm going to be talking about fear. No one tells you how crippling & limiting fear is, fear of losing a loved one, fear of not being good enough etc or even how it puts you in a spot & then you begin to think of a million scenarios that most likely would never happen.  For a while, I struggled with fear. I had an idea of what I was struggling with but I did n

Being Still

This year, I learnt to be still and know that God is God.   I used to think being still had to do with sitting down in a quiet place during your quiet time with God & forcing yourself not to think about anything, basically clearing your head and then waiting for God to speak. This year, I learnt that being still wasn't about that, had nothing to do with that even. Psalm 46:10 says “Be still and know (recognize, understand) that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations! I will be exalted in the earth.” Being still involves being still in good times and in bad times too. It's like having so much on your mind, so much you're going through but not being worried about any of that because you know that God is God and God is good, always good.  It's not about being still for a few minutes or an hour, but about being still every day, every hour, every minute, while at work, school everywhere. It's not being worried about the day's activities or tomorrow or that
