You Miscounted
“If you counted me out, then you miscounted.” ~Dray Orion Some people saw where I started and thought they knew where I’d end up.They looked at my past, tallied up my limits, and decided I didn’t have it in me.They’ve always been quick to count me out—because they saw where I came from and figured…

Pray
I am the whisper you can’t unhear.The pulse behind your ribs at 3 a.m., when the ceiling stares back at you.The thought you bury under noise, liquor, lovers, and lies—yet still, I rise when the world gets quiet. I am the truth you’ve known since before you had words.The One that walks with you into…

Unfuckwitable
Unfuckwitable (adj.): Unable to be shaken, broken, or knocked off center. A state of being untouchable—not because life doesn’t hit, but because you refuse to hand over your power. That’s the definition. But here’s the truth: unfuckwitable isn’t given. It’s earned. It’s not confidence you were born with—it’s confidence you bled for. It’s what’s left…

When the Rent Comes Due
“Don’t let people live rent free in your life.” For a long time, I thought it was just a clever line. Now I know it’s survival. Because when you let people stay without paying their share—not in money, but in value—they’ll bleed you dry before you even notice you’ve been emptied. My life isn’t a…

The Measure of a Dominant
A Dominant doesn’t announce themselves with barking orders, or come crashing into your inbox demanding you kneel like you’ve been waiting for them all your life. That’s not Dominance. That’s insecurity in a cheap suit. Block it. Move on. A Dominant doesn’t chase attention like it’s oxygen. They aren’t starving for it—they generate it. People find them.…

Loyalty Shouldn’t Lather
Loyalty. Everyone wants it. Few deserve it. Even fewer give it back.It’s simple—until it isn’t. Most people think they’ve got it nailed down, but life twists, people change, comfort runs out—and that’s when you find out what loyalty is really made of. The word itself sounds noble. Steadfast. Pure. Defined as: ‘Giving or showing firm…

The Ghost of Control
You think it’s gone. The power you gave, the trust you placed. You think when the scene ends, it’s over. But it isn’t. It never is. What you gave doesn’t vanish—it haunts you. It breathes with you. It marks you. And that mark never leaves. Control doesn’t die when the cuffs come off. It lingers.…

S.O.S
S.O.S. It started as a cry from the sea.Three short. Three long. Three short.A code so simple the world couldn’t mistake it.A signal that said: I’m in danger. I need help. Answer me. But here’s the thing—not every SOS comes from a sinking ship.Sometimes it comes from a body.Sometimes it comes from a soul.Sometimes it…

I Have Zero Talent
I have zero talent.Everything I am and everything I know—I learned the hard way.Through mistakes. Through mess. Through the school of hard knocks.I’m self-taught.I’m self-made. I’ve got a lot of its. If I have it, I worked for it.If I wanted it, I saved for it.If I want to keep it, I take care of…

Choose Your Hard
Life’s hard. Not in the Instagram-quote kind of way. In the real way. The way that leaves marks. The way that forces you to decide which pain you’re willing to live with—because either way, you’re gonna bleed. Marriage? Hard.You’re locking in with someone who’s gonna see every flaw, every bad habit, every ugly truth you try to…
