  • the more you know

    the more you know

    Educating yourself on the ways of the world.

    Events of the world.

    The condition of man.

    And the behaviors of man.

    Lead you to one simple conclusion: the world is a messy and brutal place.

    …. And that beautifully ok.

  • the quiet betrayal

    the quiet betrayal

    Sometimes, it’s not what they said.

    It’s the silence that followed.

    The slow fade from inclusion.

    The unspoken decision to let you drift.

    You keep showing up anyway, hoping maybe this time…

    But they’ve already rewritten the story—

    and left you out of it.

    Healing didn’t start with an apology.

    It started when I stopped waiting for one.

    🕊️I’m rebuilding something better now.


  • nice versus kind

    nice versus kind

    Pay attention to the way you are treated by someone.

    Evaluate everything:

    How do they make you feel?

    What could there motives be?

    Will what they are asking of you, make you a better person?

    Just because a friend is acting nice, doesn’t mean their advice is kind. A kind person would want to see you grow and improve.

    A nice person…simply wants you to like them.


  • the power to stand alone

    the power to stand alone

    Don’t expect everyone to understand

    your path

    your motivation

    your goal.

    Many times, to grow and achieve yours dreams,

    you must often stand alone.
