Travel and Thoughts

It’s been a moment but finding Clarity: Insights from few days at Camp. The sun dipped below the horizon, casting a warm glow over the tranquil campsite. As I settled into my canvas chair, surrounded by towering pine trees and the distant hum of crickets, I felt a sense of calm wash over me. Little did I know that these few days of relaxation would lead to profound insights and a renewed perspective on life.he rustling leaves, the distant call of a bird, and the gentle sway of the hammock—I immersed myself in nature. Away from the hustle of city life, I found solace in the simplicity of existence. The campfire crackled, and as the flames danced, so did my thoughts. I realized that true insight often emerges when we allow ourselves to be still.Insight #1: Being present is a gift we rarely unwrap. Amidst the tall pines, I learned to savor each moment—the taste of morning coffee, the feel of dew-kissed grass, the laughter shared around the campfire. Mindfulness wasn’t just a buzzword; it was a way of life.As I left the campsite, I carried these insights with me. Life, once cluttered, now felt spacious. I looked forward to a journey infused with spiritual positive energy—a life where each step was intentional, each breath sacred. The camp had gifted me clarity, and I vowed to nurture it.

So, here’s to the quiet moments, the crackling campfires, and the wisdom found in nature’s embrace. May we all find our campfires—places where insights bloom, and our souls dance to the rhythm of existence. #positiveenergy#spiritualjourney#sprituality#mentalhealthawareness#spiritualgrowth#spiritualawakening#spiritualhealing#thejourney#thejourneycontinues#myphotography#photo#photooftheday#naturephotography#cheflife#chefsofinstagram#photographychallengeraphychallenge

Designer, Photography,and Art

Well God has allowed the Universe to offer me a great opportunity to become a Designer as a side job. (A well-known fashion Brand Malefactor or is the other way said? LOL) either way it happened at the Licensing Expo today! I am pretty stoked about it! Also, I have been asked by a few cosplayers about unique design styles, these are some concepts I drew up a few hours ago. I won’t be on the raunchy side of designs. I made that pretty clear with everyone. #cosplay #cosplayers #cosplaying #cosplayersofinstagram #design #designer #designerwear #modelshoot #modeling #art #artistsoninstagram #ArtisticJourney #artistlife #concepts #conceptart #argentina #artoftheday #artisfashion I’m extremely happy that I’m keeping the doing business side on LinkedIn anyway be positive and stay focused!

The Pattern

My mentor’s latest assignment challenged me to draw my strongest emotion, which he refers to as the ‘four phases of life.’ It begins with the earliest moment I lost my mother when I was just a child, leaving me with nowhere to turn. As I grew older, I felt a persistent cold and rain within me. I experienced the storm passing by, and then my grandfather passed away, followed by my grandmother, the last of them all. These four situations was the most important four moments of my life. Deep lost and more lost I guess. Mr. Coa smiled and just said “I want you to share this on your Facebook, Mr.Freedom Mercado your artwork will grow as well as your writing.” so I’m doing what he order to me to do. My inner self or refection , I see my future being alone in the storm. Much Love and Respect

To Be Truly, Alone …

To be Truly Alone
today, my whisk is a pen. I stir words into existence, creating a literary roux. The blank page is my canvas, and ink flows like melted chocolate. I write of flavors and textures, of journeys and revelations.

As a writer, I explore the nuances of taste. How does a strawberry feel against the tongue? What symphony of spices lingers after a curry? I delve into metaphors, comparing a well-seared steak to a love letter—both require patience and precision. In my quiet moments, I imagine a grand feast. The table stretches beyond the horizon, laden with stories and sustenance. Guests arrive—characters from forgotten novels, poets who speak in stanzas of saffron and cinnamon.

And there, at the head of the table, I sit. Chef and writer, creator and curator. My apron is stained with ink, my fingers bear the scars of countless knife cuts. But I am whole.

For in this embrace of flavors and words, I find solace. The kitchen and the study, the stove and the Laptop—they are my dual canvases. And as I blend ingredients and sentences, I realize that art has no boundaries.
