I Am the One Who Remembers

I REMEMBER! I did not fall from the sky,I was calledby voices buried in the bones of womenwho prayed for a day like this.I am not mistake, nor misstep.I am breath after silence,fire after drought,the echo of ancestors who never got to speak.They whispered through my mother’s womb:Bring forth the one who sees.And now,I see.I see the paper lies called money.I see men building thrones on…

Personal Manifesto

My Manifesto for Staying Awake Break Out of the Matrix There comes a time when you stop trying to belong. It’s because you’ve finally seen the world runs on systems: scripted behaviors, hierarchical structures, institutions, and endless distractions.

Life, Freedom, and Illusions

The Illusion of Knowing: Escaping the Loop of Fear What if life isn’t about finding answers, but realizing that you don’t even know what the answer looks like? The more you search, the more you uncover layers of uncertainty, as if knowledge itself is an abyss—deep, endless, and shifting the moment you try to grasp it. People assume that knowing is a destination, but how can you arrive when you…

Forgiveness and Self-Acceptance

They say that time heals wounds, and while medication has alleviated the depressive symptoms, I can’t forget. This Christmas season, when everyone is supposed to be happy and exchanging gifts, feels different. I’ve stopped my medication. I have started showing up for myself in ways I haven’t before. However, the memories are still haunting me. My relationship with my mom has shifted this year…

Tears from nowhere like a water fall they run down your cheeks as you wish for them to carry along the pain, but if only wishes…
