Your Starting Point Isn't Your Ending Point You look at the masters and think they were born knowing. They weren't. The artist whose work moves you? Started with stick figures. The entrepreneur building empires? Failed at their first lemonade stand. Your current struggle isn't permanent. It's preparation. Right now, you're learning what everyone before you had to learn. The difference between those who make it and those who don't isn't talent. It's staying power. You stumble. You get back up. You stumble again. You get back up again. This is how expertise is built—one failure at a time, one small win at a time, one day of refusing to quit at a time. Your beginner's mind isn't a weakness. It's your greatest strength. It sees possibilities that experience sometimes blinds us to. It asks questions that need asking. It tries things that "can't be done." The gap between where you are and where you want to be? It closes with every attempt. Every mistake teaches you something the textbooks couldn't. Every small victory builds the confidence you'll need for bigger ones. You're not behind. You're not starting too late. You're exactly where every expert once stood—at the beginning, with everything ahead of you. Your starting point is just that: a starting point. Where you end up is entirely up to you.

Some people call it “protecting energy” when it’s really just fear of confrontation.

What if losing your way is actually finding a deeper part of yourself?

You thought you had it figured out. The plan was solid, the path clear. Then life happened. Now you're standing in the wreckage of what you thought was your direction, wondering how you got so lost. But here's what you're missing: you're not lost. You're exactly where you need to be. The person... read more

Maturity starts when you stop labeling every disagreement as “toxic.”

Cancer

Overusing the word “toxic” has turned self-awareness into self-avoidance.

habia una vez

Había una vez una chica tan rota que la vida la llevaba a cuestas y el mundo le pesaba en los hombros. Su espalda era un continente en ruinas al que nadie habría olvidado si lo hubiesen descubierto. Érase una vez, una chica que era estrella y vivía en una constante e indestructible... read more

The need to prove how calm you are reveals how far you are from calmness.

Most conflict isn’t with the world but with the parts of yourself you refuse to face.

(No title.)

At the base of a great tree, who's figure looks like a disfigured soul, sitting as crimson droplets rain from the petals, each drop highlight the niches of his feathers. Iron, a pygmy owl calls out. To those who listen. "In the boundless twilight of the realms, where stars are stitched with... read more

Working on a novel for over ten years…

…and posting it on Patreon. Dark romance fantasy based on my own history and trauma. It’s also going to be shadow work for me due to writing it out and having the character heal from the trauma I’ve experienced.

I Just Remembered I Have a Writer's Desk!

For too long it has been buried and covered in dust but I have decided to revive it. My muse calls to me and I must write again. I shall answer the call... For at least a week or until the dopamine wears off 🤷
