There’s a quiet, dangerous power that resides in the mind, one that has the ability to both uplift and destroy. While external struggles can certainly harm us, it is often our own thoughts and perceptions that lead us to the deepest pits of despair. The mind can create scenarios that may never happen, but still bring waves of anxiety, fear, and self-doubt. It can convince us we are unworthy, that we can’t achieve our dreams, or that we’re destined to fail. These internal battles, often fought in isolation, can be more lethal than any physical wound. We become our own worst enemy, trapped in a cycle of negativity and self-sabotage that feels impossible to escape.

The problem is that the mind is both the prison and the key, and without awareness or the right tools, it can feel like there’s no way out. The more we believe the lies it tells us, the more power we give to those dark thoughts, pushing us further into a spiral of mental turmoil. It’s not always evident from the outside, but mentally, we can be killing ourselves slowly, every day. But there’s hope. Just as our minds can create destruction, they also have the potential to heal and rebuild. Recognizing the destructive patterns, seeking help, and learning to shift our internal narrative can be the first step toward freedom, showing us that the most dangerous battles are often the ones we fight within.

He dipped his fingers into my mouth

and called me his.

I brought the animal out in him.

The side he showed no one else.

And I became something feral, taunting, and submissive. The very thing he needed and craved.

I felt wanted and adored.

He felt needed, cathartic, and in control.

And when we collided, storms erupted violently.

If you don’t love yourself you will always be chasing after people who don’t love you either.

A mistake is something done by accident, something that is not planned.

But cheating and lying are not mistakes; they are known choices. When someone cheats or lies, they have decided to break the trust and hurt the other. It's not accidental; it is intentional. Mistakes can be pardoned because they are done without any intention, but cheating and lying depict lack of respect and honesty.

If you really care for a person, you don't make decisions that will hurt them. Love is built on trust, and such intentional actions can destroy it. Choose honesty and loyalty always.

If you want to be successful, you must respect one rule: NEVER LIE TO YOURSELF.

You are lying to yourself because you seek comfort. Well comfort is overrated. You are lying to yourself because you are scared of the unknown. But you must stop. To continue lying will eat away at your soul, causing you untold amounts of future pain.

A lie is something that you make yourself believe in order to make life a little easier. A lie is a paradigm under which you operate to avoid pain. A lie will destroy you, inside and out. A lie is something you want to believe because to consider the opposite would hurt your ego.

Sometimes the difference between a lie and the truth can be subtle. Sometimes your brain will try to “logically” trick you into believing a lie.

You are lying to yourself when:

1. You try really hard to fit yourself into a mold that hurts.

2. You make that decision that is “logically” correct, but something feels off when you say it out loud.

3. You feel anxious all the time.

4. You seek something familiar, even though you can’t grow from there.

5. You deny your passions and fail to pursue what excites you, no matter what it is. This is a denial of your highest being and your truest self. This is unfair and disrespectful to yourself.

6. You think you can do this all alone.

7. You put someone else’s needs way above your own. You are lying to yourself when you neglect to take care of yourself.

8. You seek distraction to get away from the real stuff — the hard problems. You seek distraction instead of actually working to fix the problems that bother you to your deepest core.

9.You settle — for anything. You think you don’t deserve more than what’s handed to you.

10. You care intensely about what someone else thinks — and let their opinions color your actions.

11. You fail to produce quality work. You are entirely capable of trying your best. Perhaps failure to produce your best means you are in the wrong profession.

12. You ignore that gnawing feeling in your heart and gut.

13. You seek popularity and profits, instead of seeking authenticity.

14 You make rash decisions from a stressed state of mind instead of a place of calamity and rationale.

You can stop lying to yourself by:

1. Being courageous enough to make a definitive decision — going forward even though it is scary.

2. Taking responsibility of what has happened, what is happening, and what is going to happen.

3. Detaching yourself from the fantasy of reliving the past.

4. Moving — actively working to find a place that resonates with you. Take action.

Telling someone something hard. Tell someone that you have been lying to yourself and to them for some time now.

5. Doing something dramatic, in a good way. Take a risk.

6. Not doing something simply because you are told to do it or because everyone else is doing it. Think first if that action resonates with who you are. If not, then don’t do it, even if everyone else is.

7. Facing the music, even though it hurts.

8. Making a decision to stop lying to yourself. Today.

9. Forgiving yourself for hurting yourself for so long.

10. Focusing on what you know to be most important.

11. Meditating — getting still and observing yourself from a calm place.

Asking a trusted friend or mentor what he thinks of your future based on your present actions.

Refusing to associate with people who don’t share your values.

When you wake up, before getting out of bed, close your eyes and whisper to yourself, “Thank you for the gift of this new day.”

You woke up. This is a new day. You can use the teachings from yesterday to make new decisions, take aligned actions, and use your breath to live fully in the moment.

Your breath is your superpower. It keeps you alive.

So use today like this:

When you begin feeling overwhelmed and stressed, simply pause, take a few breaths, connect back to the moment, and begin again.

(Life is a gift. Wake up every day and realize that.

A story doesn't exist unless it's Told.

Life is constantly changing—people leave, love fades, and pieces of who you once were slip away without you even noticing. It’s painful, unsettling, and sometimes unfair, but it’s all part of the journey. The friendships you thought would last forever may drift apart, and the love you gave your all to may no longer fit the person you are becoming. You may feel lost, wondering if you’ll ever feel whole again, carrying the weight of what’s gone.

But life has a way of renewing itself, even in the quietest moments. New friendships will find you, love will bloom in unexpected places, and the pieces you thought were lost will be replaced by a stronger, wiser version of yourself. One day, you’ll look back and realize that every ending led to a new beginning, every loss made space for something greater, and every change shaped you into the person you were always meant to be.
