Most people are walking around with a hijacked self-concept—taught to doubt, silence, or outsource the one voice that has always been theirs. This isn’t just personal—it’s systemic. And reclaiming your self is the most radical act you can take.

There's a part of me that wonders if I could get paid—like really paid—to speak publicly about the thing that feels most true, most urgent, most resonant. It’s not a brand. It’s not a gimmick. It’s a reckoning. And I don’t want to sell it—I want to walk people through it.

The abyss isn’t a flaw in your mind—it’s a part of being human. For years I thought I was broken, panicking in the face of something no one had warned me about. Now I know: the void is real, universal, and it doesn't mean I'm crazy. It means I’m awake.

What I used to call “ghosts” were really just my own sensations—bodily signals, instincts, feelings—with no place to land inside the belief system I grew up in. Now I’m realizing they were never supernatural; they were always me, trying to get my attention.

I’m realizing that the aches and soreness I feel aren’t just about aging—they’re tied to decades of survival, disconnection, and a body I’ve never fully trusted. But now, something is shifting. I’m starting to sense the possibility of strength, not as performance, but as presence.

Energy healing, chakras, Reiki, and acupuncture—are they nonsense or misunderstood maps of real human experiences? This post unpacks the symbolic and somatic truths behind the woo, revealing what's worth keeping and what deserves a skeptical side-eye.
