I begin my day with gratitude. I’m thankful to open my eyes. I’m thankful for this body, this mind, and these organs that function together to give me life. How I start my day shapes everything that follows. When I begin with gratitude and a clear head, the rest of the moments tend to meet me with more ease.
Life is beautiful but it is also challenging. When I carry yesterday’s worries into today, everything can feel heavy and gloomy. Yet I’ve learned that, just like the weather, those clouds can pass. The sun always returns. What I’m realizing more deeply is this: what I see in the world is often a reflection of how I feel inside.
There are many channels competing for our attention fear, urgency, comparison, noise. We get to choose which station we stay tuned to. Gratitude. Love. Peace. These aren’t abstract ideas; they are practices. Every interaction influences us. The media we consume. The food we eat. The music we listen to. The way we speak to ourselves. The way we speak about others. All of these shape how we operate this human vessel.
I’m learning to move through the world in the way I would want others to move through it with patience, care, and awareness. When someone appears to be attacking or reacting aggressively, I now see something deeper. Beneath the emotion, there is often pain a call for help. I know this because I once lived that way. I used to raise my voice. I carried anger. I blamed and complained. It never brought peace.
Today, I’m not claiming perfection. I’m claiming humanity. I understand my emotions now. I don’t wish them away because without them, I wouldn’t exist. What I can do is learn how to process them. And this is where I see one of the greatest challenges facing us today: we are losing the ability to process our emotions.
When emotions are suppressed day after day, they eventually surface as outrage, blame, and attack. This becomes toxic not just individually, but collectively. I see a world where many people are carrying unprocessed pain while constantly ingesting fear-based narratives from screens and media. As a result, the channel of love and peace becomes harder to access.
There’s truth in the saying, “Who you surround yourself with is who you become.” But it goes even deeper than that. It begins at the root ,understanding who we are as human beings and how our minds work. The mind is one of our most powerful tools, not meant to be controlled, but understood. Not every thought we have belongs to us. When we identify with and attach to every thought and emotion, our well-being becomes polluted.
Freedom comes from observation not identification.
Looking back, I see how early systems taught us to label ourselves and others, ranking and categorizing us in ways that bred comparison, impatience, and judgment. It became easier to criticize than to support, easier to belittle than to listen. Asking questions felt unsafe. Explaining required patience we weren’t taught to practice.
I share this as someone who once struggled deeply with sadness, depression, and suicidal thoughts. Today, I’m living my best life not because life is perfect, but because I live with peace. The only chaos I experience now is what I choose to allow in. I have boundaries. I have love. I give myself space to learn. I trust the process.
I’m here for connection.
I’m here to evolve alongside my species.
I’m here to support and be supported.
I’m here to live a liberated life free from constant fear injections.
