This is a very good visual for me. I intend to think of it and practice stepping away from chaos rather than being determined to stand my ground. It really is a choice, and my choice is peace of mind.

At 17, I made a decision that changed everything.
I carried the regret for years—especially for the pain it caused others.
Healing began when I started loving the girl who didn’t know better.
Ever been there?

Let's talk about regret. I made a choice at 17 that changed everything.
For years, I carried the weight of that regret.
Now, I’m learning to love the girl who didn’t know better.

The world feels upside down lately.
I’m choosing music over headlines.
Nature over noise.
Presence over panic.

Wrote a short reflection on staying grounded when things feel heavy—

Are You Letting FOPO Hold You Back?

Fear of Other People’s Opinions is keeping too many of us stuck.

Instead of stressing over what others think or trying to control their reactions, what if we just let them? Let them misunderstand. Let them judge. Let them walk away.
Enter the Let Them Theory!

Companies doing moderation: not a free speech issue

People blocking you for saying mean things: not a free speech issue

Fact checks: not a free speech issue

This right here? THIS is an attack, by the government, on your constitutional right to protest against oppression.
Real question. What is an “illegal protest”? Real question. He was convicted of a crime. Why hasn’t he been expelled?

Are You Being TOO Nice?

I believed that being nice was always right. I was wrong.

Being nice can mean avoiding conflict, people-pleasing, and putting everyone else first. Being kind is about honesty, boundaries, and showing up as your true self. Let’s discuss.

When a judge stops the president from doing something illegal, that’s not a “threat to democracy,” that’s a check on the president’s power. That's the whole damn point.

Purging dissent in the security services and giving loyalists power is something we *instantly* recognize in other contexts.
EXCLUSIVE: Candidates for national security roles in the new administration have been posed loyalty questions, such as: Was Jan. 6 an inside job, and Was the 2020 presidential election stolen? They were asked to give straight "yes" or "no" answers. Here's our story.

Decluttering is part of my spiritual journey and can bring a sense of peace and lightness. It can also bring back memories of days past, resulting in me crying like a baby. I miss my parents and having my kids all under the same roof 🩷
