What you consume, you become:

• The books you read.

• The content you watch.

• The people you spend time with.

• The thoughts you feed your mind.

Choose wisely.

sometimes i wonder how many versions of myself i’ve outgrown without even noticing. i look back at old photos and remember the thoughts i used to carry, the dreams i thought would save me. it’s strange how you can live inside yourself every day and still not realize you’re evolving. it’s only when you look back that you realize how far you’ve come, how many lives you’ve already lived in the same skin.

Uncommon advice:

If you don't know what to pursue in life right now, pursue yourself.

Pursue becoming the healthiest, happiest, most healed, most present, most confident version of yourself.

Then the right path will reveal itself.

People.

They’ll lose their minds over a delayed train, snap over a slow barista. Let a spilled coffee ruin their day.

But when it comes to the big stuff, staying in the wrong job, letting their dreams die quietly. Wasting years on auto pilot.

Nothing. No urgency. No reaction.

We treat small problems like emergencies and the real emergencies as background noise.

Why do we do that?

i miss slow things. slow mornings. slow friendships. slow art. slow romance. everything feels like it needs a deadline when the best parts of being alive takes more time to bloom than we care to admit.

I’m going to say something that shouldn’t be controversial but will be. If you are a Christian, you can support border control and immigration being legal vs illegal. You CANNOT celebrate deportations and get off on the cruelty, and be a real Christ follower. Period

Educate yourself.

When a question about a certain topic pops up, google it. Watch movies and documentaries. When something sparks your interest, read about it.

Read, read, read.

Study, learn, and stimulate your brain.

Don't just rely on the school system; educate your beautiful mind.

You hit publish, and there’s no reaction.

No likes. No shares. Just silence.

But writing isn't about receiving praise.

It’s about leaving parts of yourself for others to discover.

It may take days.

It may take years.

But keep writing, regardless…

I refuse to be the kind of person who loses their mind over a delayed train or lets a spilled coffee set the tone for the whole day.

I want to be the one who stays composed, who sees the good even when things don’t go as planned. The kind of person who breathes through the little chaos and still finds beauty in how the day unfolds.

I want to be soft. I want to be steady.

Sometimes, when he fails badly enough, Trump can be forced to do the thing he says he never does: back down.

Today is just one more turn on the roller coaster - but it is more evidence of why we can't give up or let up.

healing isn’t cute. it’s not aesthetic. or curatable. its not quoting affirmations you don’t believe in yet.

it’s texting a friend “i know i said i was over it. i lied.” it’s crying in the bathroom, washing your face, and going anyway. it’s learning the same lesson five times before it sticks.

its boring. messy. inconvenient. repetitive. and most of the time, it doesn’t even feel like healing. until one day, it does.

Left social media.

Built on Substack.

Never looked back.

No algorithm deciding if my work gets seen. Just real people reading, sharing, and supporting.

If you’re building here too, drop your Substack below.

My vaxxed friend started to complain about "extreme stomach ache". What does this mean?

I am helping her to find doctors right now, because she never had to go to doctors before.

What makes our society so vile today is that nearly everything is monetized, profit maximized, made sticky and addictive, and turned into a subscription model. Behaviors, instincts, and human nature are weaponized against us. We don't have free exchange between sovereign citizens, instead we have a series of deceptions and traps. In the space of 50 years we went from liberalism to predation.
