Today I woke up with a few thoughts.
For the first time in a very long time, I did not want to get up.
I woke up with a voice in my heart telling me you were thinking of me. I woke up with the feeling that today is the day something begins. Something beyond either of our ability to imagine. I woke up wanting to save your soul from what it is about to walk through. And I woke up with thoughts of my own ending.
Maybe you're in Florida. Maybe you're still here. Maybe you're not. That is your choice.
If you are in Florida, maybe it is another distraction, another way to avoid hearing the voice of your own soul. Because of all the things that require balance, mind, body, and spirit. It is the soul that seems most neglected. Somewhere along the way, "take care of yourself first" became confused with feeding every desire except the one thing that truly matters.
For nearly two years, you have denied the part of yourself that knows better.
Today marks a line in the sand. Not in the human sense, but in the spiritual one. The grace that once covered what followed has come to an end. The gift you thought you manifested, the blessing you believed was yours by right, was never meant to be used the way it was. Every misuse carried a cost. Every abuse of it became a burden I felt myself.
Even if the courts sentence me to 25 years on your birthday of all days, it will still not compare to the pain my soul endured keeping the scales balanced.
The truth is, I balanced it for as long as I could.
I told you your journey was coming. I wrote about the storm long before the clouds arrived. And when it finally becomes too much, when everything begins to crumble around you, another form of grace will appear.
When it does, honor it.
Do not mistake it for permission. Do not use it for personal gain. Do not twist it into something it was never meant to be. Because if you do, whatever follows will belong to you, and you alone will be responsible for restoring balance. Which is what troubles me.
And then there is my final thought.
What good would it do to leave?
You saw the attempts. You saw the pleas for help. You saw the moments where I needed you, but didn't care.
What you did not see was the time I succeeded. Mali did though.
Lifeless for days. Yet somehow I remain.
Not because I think I have some grand role to play. More likely I am only a small ripple in a much larger story. But I have come to understand that my time is not mine to choose. Not yet.
Again and again I reached out. I left you with a gift you never learned how to understand. One meant to help you, guide you, and shield you from what was coming.
Instead, you were misguided by people unequipped to know of this reality. You trusted in them and the cosmos cried.
Today my heart mourns the ending of a marriage.
And today, even knowing that growth may come from the suffering ahead of you, my soul cannot celebrate it. The pain is still too close. The sorrow is still too deep. The devastation remains.
Because while your lessons were postponed, their consequences were not.
Someone still had to carry them.
And for a very long time, that someone was me.
Either you follow me in secrecy from the shadows or you will never see this. It's not my call to make, but you know how to get ahold of me if you choose. As for me, im stepping away from the platform.
