DIFFERENT JOURNEYS
I read a fellow writer’s success story on Medium—1,999 followers in just 7 months.
Meanwhile, I’ve barely crossed 237 in over a year.
It stung.
Not out of envy, but because I’m human.
This piece explores the quiet grief of comparison, the resistance of a soul that doesn’t want to compromise, and the reminder that no two paths are the same.

What if your presence made people feel lighter, not heavier?
Likability isn't about impressing others—it’s about how you treat them. https://www.emberhart.com/lighter-to-lift-how-to-be-someone-people-want-to-be-around/

In the quiet of self-reflection, you’ll discover that true strength lies not in standing above others, but in standing beside them, understanding, supporting, and growing together.
In the shadow of success, it's easy to lose sight of who you are. The brighter the spotlight, the darker the corners where your true self hides.

Arrogance : That Block Your Spiritual Growth
Arrogance is the silent destroyer of inner peace. It blinds us to truth, distances us from the Divine, and halts spiritual elevation. Arrogance may feel strong, but humility is power. The moment we let go of ego, the Divine steps in. The journey begins only when the ego steps aside.

There is one perk to being absolutely terrified of everything, and having a lot more #panic and #anxiety issues than most people:
I am so used to being scared that I can force myself do scary things more easily than most people.
So I end up seeming very brave as my tolerance for fear is so high I can pretend I'm fine and still keep focus, then do things others would run from.
I feel a #disassocation to most people due to almost dying several times, and going through so much suffering and pain.
I am lucky to be alive and healthy at all, as there are more a universe where I died than the one where I lived.
I value #life in a different way, and live in the moment to take my time as I please, not too concerned about the far.
Most see life as a race, and their heads are far.
It makes falling in #love hard as I'm an enigma for a younger man.
MIRROR OBSESSION: Why We Shouldn’t See Ourselves
Why were we created unable to see ourselves directly? Yet we built mirrors, cameras, and screens—and became fixated on our own reflection.
In this essay, I explore how my childhood mirror obsession shaped my identity and how living without mirrors for four years transformed my relationship with self-image and ego.

When I was young the only thing I ever wanted to do was befriend people, and try to help. To make them smile, and wonder or wander about the world to find everything that was beautiful.
I would cry if I killed a beetle, and the idea of hurting someone caused me pain.
I tried to hold onto that, but trying to survive as an adult made that hard.
Now that I am safe I am learning to be young again as I grow older.
It's wonderful, and I find beauty in the world again.
