self-awareness

  • There will be days like these.More than people admit out loud. Days where you look around and realize not everyone is building… some are just surviving the same storm on repeat and calling it wisdom. We sit in this strange place between generations.One side gripping the past like it’s the only truth that ever existed.The…

  • Take a good look at the myosin protein dragging an endorphin along a filament to the inner part of the brain’s parietal cortex under a microscope and tell me what happiness really looks like. It doesn’t look like a smile.It doesn’t look like a perfect moment.It doesn’t look like a life without problems. It looks…

  • If you are not at the table, you are on the menu. Most people hear that line and think it means power.Control.Status. But it means something deeper than that. It means awareness. Because if you treat something rare like it’s normal, you will fumble it.And when you treat something rare like it’s common, you will…

    There comes a point where you stop trying to teach grown adults how to feel. You cannot hand someone emotional intelligence like a book and expect them to read it.

  • The Weight of Nothing Missing

    Tell me what it feels like to search for somethingwhen nothing is lost. Tell me what it feels like to winwhen there is no opponent. What does it feel like to arrivewhen you never left? It is not fireworks.It is not applause.It is not the loud declaration of a healed story. It is the absence…

  • Regret has a funny way of dressing itself up. It doesn’t walk into the room saying, I was wrong.It walks in pointing fingers. It says, They made me do it.They stole from me.They never loved me.They kept me down. Meanwhile, everywhere they go… there they are. You can change cities.Change partners.Change jobs.Change friend groups. But…
