kings and QUEENS
It was about a month ago. I was scrolling through my FYP on TikTok one night out of pure boredom, a night I’m sure we all can relate to. The videos ranged from teenagers rating old Cartoon Network shows to adults calling their significant others the wrong name. I was about to log off for the night when I found myself mesmerized by nine influencers lip-syncing to the chorus of “Kings and Queens” by Ava Max.

The tiktok video worth $10k and so much more..
The early stages of the pandemic coincided with the end of my daughter’s 8th grade year. It wasn’t easy to sit by and watch her sadness grow as one by one, everything she had worked so hard for was cancelled. In almost no time, nearly everything in her busy life was taken away from her: Showchoir competition season, the traditional signing of yearbooks, middle school graduation ceremony, and last but not least, the highly anticipated “grad night” that was supposed to have taken place at Disneyland’s California Adventure. Staples of her adolescent years were replaced w distance learning and stay at home orders.

Decluttering
I was wondering the other day, what`s up with my life that it`s always a mess. I know I`m not the cleanest person and my room gets messy sometimes, but comparing to my life, my room is a glass castle with shiny gold decor. Somehow I keep on messing up whatever I start to do, friendships, relationships, jobs, even a basic dinner... But is it because I`m a looser born to be an entertainment for everyone around or is there another reason for that?! Did I do anything that makes me deserve this?! Did I mess up something?! Is this all my fault?!

The foundation of money and wealth
As of the present, there are approximately seven point eight billion humans alive all at the same time around the word. Divided throughout countless cultures, nationalities, background, identities and believes. But most importantly divided according to wealth distribution. Perhaps been the most common and an equally predominant factor dividing the human species in today’s modern era. When talking about the concept of wealth. It could be engrossed down to the sovereign scale. Defining the distribution of wealth among nation states. And although the distribution of wealth among sovereign states is uneven, the distribution of wealth individually in each nation state is just as uneven if not greater.

Entering the ring on the left is Heart, entering the ring on the right is Mind. Mom burned my brother's hand because he stole money out of her wallet, as his hand settled on top of the stove, he was smiling out of ego but a few seconds later he started screaming and mumbling words that my mom needed clarity on, so she didn't let up, until he said those words clearly: "I am sorry mom" she let his hand go, and imminently threw it on a bowl full of milk. At the time, I didn't see the bowl of milk waiting in the sink, it was out of sight, all I saw was anger and disappointment in her eyes, fear in his. He never stole a penny from no one again.

You have the world in your hands.
People know that bad stuff happened to me, and it’s all par for the course my life went on. My feelings of safety and love were shattered when I was 7 years old. My family was already broken, and I was the kind of child that never wanted to add to the stress of situations, so I kept my secrets and pain to myself... and I carried them with me for 17 years. I was always running away from those feelings. Searching for an escape in any way that felt good and I also thought if I just kept moving; nothing could catch up to me. It’s why I first moved to Arizona, and it did heal me at first. Going off on my own and exploring all of the mountains, deserts, and canyons I could; brought me the peace and serenity I needed. It was only a matter of time before everything caught back up to me, and when it did; it hit hard. A few know the events that transpired that led me back to Austin, but very few witnessed how bad it was for awhile. I went to a deep, dark place that myself, and even everyone who loved me didn’t know if I was going to make it back out of. To top all of that off; I had met a man who preyed on my vulnerability and then brutalized me for months and months. The truth is I had hit rock bottom at so many points in my life, and I always came back up, but I can’t put into words what this particular kind of broken felt like. I was stripped of my wonder, courage, and hunger for life. I’ve spent the last 3 years both battling the lifetime of unhealthy coping mechanisms I had established for survival, and learning to heal from all that broke me. I went from never, ever asking anyone for help to being so terrified of the world; I felt I couldn’t do anything on my own. When you lose trust in yourself to make good choices and take care of yourself; what do you have left? Today I stood on the edge of Bryce Canyon, and I bawled my eyes out. I cried for baby Taelyr, I cried for my grams, I cried for Juan, and I cried for Summer. Today it finally sank in that life is too short, and this world is too beautiful.. to be scared all of the time.
