Real Life, No Robbery

Life is robbery

steal and attach, steal and attack

The highest form of peace is war

to turn over leaves and doors

Life is pain

excited to feel it

the music interwoven with it

hear it in my voice, see it in my choice

Life is gain

I am all that is inside of me

I am a mirror reflection of me

mirror, mirror, who is the fairest of them all?

Life is rain

reality is the great fall of consciousness

death is the seed that sprouts into fruits

This episode is dedicated to anyone who has been a victim of abuse - physical, domestic, emotional - of any kind. God sees you.

The content of this episode does not directly explore the topic of abuse, but it is an offering nonetheless.

This is an episode exploring the childhood to now-adult experience of having a relationship with my dad.

Three stages of this experience:

1. Idolize: Everything I know, learnt, observed, came from this man.

2. Demonize: Everything that is wrong is the fault of this man.

3. Humanize: He is human, too. He makes mistakes; this is his first life experience, and he deserves mercy and leniency, the one I want for myself.

More Money, More Progress.

What is this episode about? The madness that is called life, the beautiful, painful, and gorgeous experience that we live every day, encountering ourselves against people as the mirror reflection that they are.

I face myself every day. I see limitations in my being and fear mongers in my thoughts. I feel heartbreak residue in my heart, I feel the dark dust of worry and anxiety, I feel the pain of having some, not enough.

Welcome to another episode of ABLE.

"I trust myself". These words to me echo forbidden confidence in myself, the great self-critiquing accuser of all. All I have been waiting for has been waiting in my peace of mind, and I have strayed from peace of mind because of the fear of other people's opinions and expectations of me.

Self-abandonment hurts deeper than heartbreak, and that's what I feel heals when I say "I trust myself"; I am returning home.

I love dropping these episodes because they are pieces of my heart.

Welcome to the ABLE segment of the podcast.

Book Recommendation:

* Talent Is Never Enough by John C. Maxwell

I'm listening to Bnxn's Captain Album. It's so good. I have a lot of my brothers, cousins, and friends around me and we speak a lot about similar things, issues, growing up situations. I figure we have the same struggles, similar ambitions, with varied individual sizes. This segment of the podcast is to speak in very clear words about how much growing up feels like for a boy, turning into a man. This is an emotional group chat for the guys. It's been brewing for a while, and now it's here.

Listen, Enjoy, Rate the podcast, and Share.
