Your 'Independence' is a Prison. Here's Why!
In many ways, this fallacy (Independence aka being Self-Made) becomes an armor we wear, like Dean Todd in the Magicians. The armor prevents us from being hurt by BETRAYAL of people we loved or trusted. It protects us from being seen as weak or dependent on others.

Aries Moon meets Pluto Complex: How I found Clarity With Chaos
"I love all of this about me and it makes sense especially the diving into the occult or forbidden forms of truth to find deeper meaning. I use that chaos to incite change and help others. Growing up and even in some ways now I've repressed that powerful Aries side of me because I was afraid of it... Afraid to hurt or disappoint other people out of fear of abandonment not making friends or being alone through life."
Even to a bot, that was heavy to admit; being afraid to hur

The Ronin Strikes Back: On Writing, Social Media, and Enneagrams
A 5 has this fear of being overwhelmed by others needs as well as my own. When feeling in jeopardy, I'll say fuck it, isolate from people, certain situations (marketing on social media sticks out here), and certain aspects of myself to avoid being controlled or being held accountable. Does that mean I'm a cheater or don't want to be held accountable? No. It sucks being wrong yes, BUT it doesn't make it okay to force me to be a certain kind of way when it conflicts with who I

Hope in Dark Times
It's fairly simple for me to inspire hope and positivity in other people. I can sit and listen and just KNOW the right thing to say or share. I live for that shit at times, to see and know people around me are doing well and are happier given my contribution or efforts, no matter how small.
But internally, it can be a brutal struggle to believe in the hope of the desired future. When all is going well, it's easy for me to believe positive narration I've listened to or have w

Tough Losses, Small Victories
I don’t like to lose. I want things to flow easily. I want a life with no mistakes, which means no embarrassments in front of people. However, what I want and what is destined to occur are two very different things. To prevent one from happening means a disruption of nature…a disruption of life. Without the Losses we won’t get the lessons in disguise. The blessings underneath the rust and the shattered rocks of what we expected to be the outcome. Forever and Abundance in ever

The Struggle of Letting Go (The Old Self)
I’ve consumed content that emphasizes it's about being in alignment with the version of you that you want to reflect in your life. I believe in that. But yet, I question just how long does it take to get there? How much effort must I put in to get to that higher state of vibration?
You have to let go. Be positive, get into alignment, and release what is no longer serving you. You must release The Old Self.

Building Your Home Within
It hurts when life causes us to crumple into debris in every aspect of our lives. We lose jobs, loved ones, we're thrust into change we don't want, get into vices that take away a bit more of ourselves each time we execute or indulge in them. But that is one part of the Life experience. We're not here to just suffer and die. We are also here To CREATE...to REBOUND... TO BUILD Your Home Within, Brick by Brick.

The Iron-clad Mask: Rejecting ourselves, one appearance at a time
Dean Todd is in his office and is approached by Etta, his tailor. This is right in the midst of the memory spell kicking in. Etta mentioned how it made her sad that he could barely stand himself, but it also made him her best customer. He questioned this, to which she replied:
"The bespoke suits, the hand-sewn shirts, its Armor - it's an armor to keep the world away. A disguise so that nobody can see what a truly loving heart you have."

Blood on the Scales: Declaration of Balance
The voice says:
"The Balance of all is at risk. Stand your ground. Your niche is tied to your purpose. Unorthodox thought. It is your art and your birthright. Use it not to be seen but to spread a message that those ready to receive will receive. Yours is not for success or to avoid failure... But to spread what you know from within... A truth only you know."

Why Do I Exist? The Answer is in YOU
One of the toughest questions many of us are asking ourselves is: Why Do I Exist?
Regardless of theory, we have the power to choose our WHY. I believe that in each of us we have natural traits and talents, as well as acquired traits through trials and error that we can use to truly better ourselves, our families, and our communities...should we choose to use them in that way. Key word...Choose.

Societal Norms are Bullsh*t: Break Free and Find Your Way
But here's what they don't tell you about the Normal way.
Normalcy can change at anytime.
Its all about perception.
There's always going to be an opinion that defines Normal.
A new wave, a new trend, a new standard or explanation.

Navigating Obstacles: My Mental Health Journey
Mental Health over the past couple of years has become an increasingly important part of our overall wellness as human beings. However, there are several reasons why people opt-out of ongoing therapy sessions: The imbalance of need vs number of practitioners, heightened costs due to the need, lack of empathy and down-to-earth understanding of therapists, and the fear of being JUDGED.

A Legacy of Letters - Dear Young Max
Letter writing is a lost art form of communication these days. With DMs and Emails coming to the forefront fo communication, we've lost our sense of intimate expression through letter writing. This is part one of a series of letters I write to a variety of people to express my innermost thoughts and feelings and as a show of gratitude.
