Peacefully Unpeaceful
Being at peace peacefully can be unpeaceful—peacefully.It sounds ridiculous until you live it.It’s hard to be scared of thunder and lightningwhen you’ve spent your whole life standing in the storm.Then the storm finally ends,and you realize you don’t know how to exist without the wind. Peace doesn’t announce itself like victory—it creeps in like withdrawal.You’ve…

I Am Not Uncertain
I am not uncertain. Not because I have every answer. Not because the path is clear. But because hesitation is a luxury I don’t allow myself anymore. And if you need proof, look no further than Samwise Gamgee. Samwise Gamgee wasn’t born a hero. He wasn’t chosen, he wasn’t destined, and he sure as hell…

The Lie of Normal
Unusual is usually unusually usual. The things we call strange don’t stay strange for long. Shock wears off. Edges dull. Repetition has a way of sanding down what once cut sharp. A new habit, a wild idea, even the pain you swore you could never carry—give it enough time and it slips into routine. What…

Some Bridges Burn Better
There are times when burning a bridge isn’t recklessness—it’s survival. Not every connection is meant to last. Some tie you to places you’ve outgrown, to people who keep you small, to versions of yourself already buried. And sometimes the only way forward is to strike the match and watch the bridge collapse so there’s no…

Dominance Isn’t a Performance
Dominance is not a performance.It’s not about cracking whips or throwing floggers.It’s about control. Real control. And that starts with you.

The Dark Horse
I’m a dark horse—the one they overlook, the one they dismiss, the one they never see coming until I’m already past them. I don’t run from storms; I let them break against me, because I know how to rebuild from ruin. And when the storm passes, I don’t rush to speak, because wisdom doesn’t always…

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…

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…

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…
