    Exhaustion

    I’m exhausted but not that lack of 8 hrs of sleep exhausted.
    I’m exhausted from putting peoples needs first.
    I’m exhausted from checking in with people that don’t check in with me.
    I’m exhausted from putting in the work and everyone else just goes on with life.
    I’m exhausted from feeling their emotions and suppressing my own.
    I’m exhausted and it’s not from the lack of sleep exhausted.
    I want to feel alive.
    I want to feel refreshed.
    I want to feel my own emotions.
    Care for my own needs.
    I want to escape the burnt stage of life and capture the awareness of the day.
    I’m exhausted from being exhausted!
    When will I breathe again?
    That is the question!

    • Are you familiar with Marianne Williamson s “out deepest fear”? Or Ernest Henley’s “Invictus” ?
      I find them comforting when I too, experience feeling burned out from how agreeable of a person I can be at the cost of my own needs. Hope it resonates with you. 💚

    Just Us Three

    Let’s go back to those nights of walking the neighborhood.
    Of riding our bikes thru that same neighborhood bypassing the “scary” street.
    Let’s go back to sitting in front of the TV playing video games til the sun comes up.
    Go back to the days of driving around feeling like grown adults.
    Let’s go back to those day trips that consist of music blaring thru the speakers. Our voices singing as loud as they can.
    Go back to the nights of just us girls & the open road which led us to the unknown.
    Let’s go back to those nights in our 20s of just dancing the night away with no cares in the world.
    With the only thought of “will it be mimis or dennys” after the night is done.
    Let’s go back to girls night in.
    Banging drums. Tapping the microphone. & strumming the guitar.
    Can we go back and just live for the moment?
    For the simplicity.
    For the joy.
    Can we go back & just enjoy being present?
    No rush for the next task.
    No responsibilities that will consume our time.
    Can we go back & just be?
    Let’s go back & see.
    Just us three.

    Growth Looks Good

    Do you not see how strong you are?
    How worthy you are?
    How loved you are?

    All those sleepless nights prepared you for the best sleeps of your life.
    Those uncomfortable mirror talks set you up for those beautiful reflection affirmations.
    Those in and out acquaintances part of your life were just props to what led you to today.

    The most strongest, worthiest, and lovable woman the Universe could have!

    Rejecting Love

    Falling in love ought not be such a terrifying act
    Is it as daunting for you as it is for me
    I sit in wonder what my life would be
    Minus all the heartbreak and perpetual agony
    Would I be the type to trust “I love you”
    Would I be the type to trust at all
    If only I’d been shown
    If only the words “I love you” came from those already grown

    Eye You

    Eye see you
    Do you see me?
    Soul to soul
    Yet oceans away.

    Is it weird
    To not only ask
    For one more night—
    But for you to stay?

    They say love lasts for a lifetime,
    But every minute apart
    Feels like you’re eons away.

    Eye see you.
    Eye see the star you are.
    I see the parts of your soul
    You try to hide.

    Could it be
    That you are my soul tribe?
    Or maybe my mate…
    Either way it goes,
    This union feels divinely great—
    Almost as if it was fate.

    Bashert.
    Eye see you.
    Soul to soul.
    Fated love so true.
    Eye see you.

    Bashert, my love,
    For you is destined to be.

    My soul searches for you,
    But eye cannot find
    Where you are hiding…

    Some days I am rain.
    Other days, I am earth.
    Some days I am air.
    Other days, I am fire.

    I scorch new paths to rebirth.
    But will you still love me the same
    On days when I can’t flow like water—
    When I bring storms, lightning, and rain?

    I might blow my fuse and explode,
    Blowing like wind…

    But the river of my love is ever flowing
    Into oceans of understanding,
    Deeper than the cosmos—
    The great gift of knowing.

    That you are my Baz, and eye you.
    My soul sees your soul,
    As the light of this
    Divine union shines through.

    Bashert, my love—Bashert.
    For the Divine One
    Designed me just for you.

    Being Alive

    Are our bodies the amazing external shelter
    Of the fascinating machinery
    That makes the true existence of the psyche possible?
    Without this body, this “me”
    You cannot know or share any of my thoughts
    And that would be the tragedy at hand, soon enough;
    So thus,
    As long as my mind is held in this body
    I will love it and feed it
    And take it on walks
    And give it warm baths
    And tuck it to bed cozy
    And I hope you can do the same
    In your own safe housing of your soul
    So I can hear your sacred thoughts as well,
    That only you can speak.

    Later Love From Me

    Here I thought you were “the one” with what was programmed from within.
    Walking life without you seemed so numb at the time.
    Breathing different air than you set for sleepless nights.
    I’m so glad you were not “the one.”
    My programs from within have switched from fantasy to reality.
    Walking life without you has defrosted in the most warmest ways.
    Breathing different air from you
    has given me better nights of sleep.
    The weighted blanket type of sleep.
    Here I thought you and I would be the forever type.
    Boy, was that such hype.
    I’m so glad forever was not for this flight.
    Here I thought I’d be together with you, the “love of my life.”
    Not knowing that love would be with me years after the blue.

    Possibilities

    Maybe one day we meet back up.
    May it be in a store buying that day’s outfit for a night out.
    May it be at a local park catching Mama Nature’s beautiful sunrays.
    May it be at a red light on our way to what consist of our busy lives.
    Maybe. Just maybe, one day we will meet up and when we do, it’s as if nothing was new.
    It was just as we left it.

  • The Illusion of Freedom: The Programmed Mind.

    There was a time when humans walked with the stars, when our ancestors knew the language of the universe, and the whispers of the wind carried secrets only the wise could hear. But that time is gone. Not because we evolved, but because we were tamed.

    We were once the architects of our destiny. Now, we are puppets on a stage we did not build, dancing to the rhythm of a song we did not compose. We speak of freedom, yet every choice we make is a pre-written script. We claim sovereignty, yet invisible hands dictate every aspect of our lives. We hail ourselves as the highest frequency in the universe, yet we have become the most programmed, the most predictable, the most easily controlled.

    The Greatest Lie Ever Told

    What is freedom if a system dictates the limits of your existence?
    What is power if your decisions are governed by invisible rulers?
    What is knowledge if every truth you consume has been carefully filtered before it reaches you?

    Humans believe they are free because they have been taught to believe it. But real freedom is not given—it is taken. And the greatest lie ever told is that we already have it.

    From the moment we are born, we are assigned a name, a nationality, a set of beliefs. We are given a set of laws, a structure to abide by, and told this is the only way. Step outside of it, and you are punished. Question it, and you are silenced. Resist it, and you are erased.

    We live in a world where those in power decide:
    – Who you can love
    – Where you can live
    – How much of life you are allowed to experience
    – Whether you will die free or as another statistic

    And still, we call this civilization.

    The Programmed Mind: The New Age Slavery

    There are no more chains, no more whips, no more shackles clamping down on wrists. The new form of slavery is more advanced, more sophisticated, more sinister.

    The modern slave does not need a cage—he carries his prison in his mind.
    The modern slave does not need chains—he enforces his own restrictions.
    The modern slave does not need a master—he bows willingly to the system that controls him.

    Work. Sleep. Obey. Repeat. This is the cycle they have placed you in, a carefully crafted maze with no exit. They keep you exhausted, distracted, overstimulated with noise but undernourished with truth. They give you entertainment, so you never seek enlightenment. They give you comfort, so you never crave real freedom. They give you just enough hope, so you never realize you are trapped.

    And the moment you begin to wake up, they call you insane. They brand you as rebellious, ungrateful, irrational. Because a slave who sees his chains is a threat to the master.

    The Hidden Puppeteers

    Every nation has a ruler, but the true rulers of the world are unseen. They do not wear crowns, they do not sit on thrones, they do not need recognition. Their power is not in their titles—it is in their ability to pull the strings while the puppets below dance, thinking they are moving of their own free will.

    They own the banks that control the flow of your life.
    They own the media that shapes your perception of reality.
    They own the governments that write the laws you obey.
    They own the pharmaceutical industries that decide whether you live in sickness or health.

    And you? You are a piece in their grand design. Not because they are stronger, not because they are wiser, but because they understand something you do not: The most powerful form of control is the one that does not require force.

    They do not need to invade your land; they have already invaded your mind.

    Breaking the Illusion

    Not all are blind. A few have decoded the system, cracked the illusion, and seen the reality beyond the veil. They are the outliers, the rebels, the ones who refused to be programmed.

    These are the ones who:
    – Think freely, despite a world that tells them what to believe
    – See beyond the distractions and search for deeper truths
    – Live outside the system, even while existing within it

    They are the true revolutionaries. Not the ones who march with signs, not the ones who scream in protests—but the ones who change their frequency, shift their awareness, and unplug from the illusion entirely.

    Because the only way to win this game is not to play it at all.

    Final Words: Wake Up Before It’s Too Late.

    Most will live and die in the matrix, never knowing they were enslaved. But a few will awaken. And for them, life will never be the same again.

    Because once you see the cage, you can never unsee it.
    And once you taste real freedom, you will never settle for anything less.

    The question is—are you ready to wake up? Or will you go back to sleep, dreaming of freedom while living as a prisoner?

    Marco?

    Where has my light gone
    That used to twinkle in my eyes?
    I feel like I don’t belong
    In this body I call mine
    I don’t know who I am anymore
    Not even a single clue
    Maybe I don’t know who I was before
    It’s hard to know what’s true
    Have I lost myself somehow?
    Gone without a trace
    Or was I never found
    A vessel without a face

    A letter I wrote to my daughters (but never sent) while they were away from me

    ​I know that things are really hard right now.
    I know that you think that I chose my life with drugs, shitty friends, and crazy over you.
    But I want you to know that that couldn’t be further from the truth.
    I want you to know that I think about you constantly. I am always finding ways to bring your name up in a story just so that I can have an excuse to talk about you. As if I needed one. I look at your pictures day and night. I marvel at how fucking perfect you are, no matter what stage you are in life. I cry for you every now and again. I had to stop letting myself do it everyday, because when I do, it’s those painful tears that come from a spot so deep below both my eye sockets and my chest that they literally ache to release. I think it’s because they come from the huge part of me that got ripped out of me when I lost you.
    Life isn’t the same. Sunny days feel sad because I can’t be at the park with you. Snow is just ugly because I can’t watch you play in it. Dandelions are just weeds, because you aren’t bringing me bouquets, holding them out to me and telling me that you love me.
    If I ever do slip and allow myself a second to be happy, it’s automatically replaced with guilt, because why the fuck should I be allowed to smile when you aren’t here? You three are what has made my heart whole. You gave me purpose in an otherwise worthless life. I don’t know where things went so wrong, and how I allowed myself to fail you. But I did. And I think about it every second that I’m breathing. I know it seems like I checked out, and in some ways, I have had to. Because if I allowed myself to feel the pain of losing you 100%, I know that I wouldn’t survive it. My heart would literally shatter. But if I can let you know one thing, it is this.
    You may not always see it, but I promise you I will never stop fighting for you. Whether it be the court, your fathers, cps, or my own God damn brain that keeps telling me you’re better this way, I will not ever go a day without giving everything I can to be your mom again.
    Because I love you with everything in me.
    I love you so much that I am in physical pain when I think of how much I want to hug you.
    I love you so much that I want what’s best for you, even if it isn’t me.
    But I love you SO much, that I will do whatever I have to to make sure that it can be me.

    My babies. My loves. I can never make up for the time we have lost.
    And I will never forgive the actions taken by some that have gotten us here, not even my own. But all I ask is that you don’t give up on me, and that you dont ever for a second think that you came second to anything in my heart. Because there is nothing in this world that could ever make me see you as anything less than immaculate. Perfect. And my favorite fucking humans that have ever existed. A thousand apologies would not be enough for the absolute havoc I have allowed into our lives, and I can say as much as I want that I wish I could take it back. But the fact is that I can’t. I can wear the guilt like a crown, and I can wallow in my wrong doings, but honestly it won’t get us back together again. All I can do now, is have enough faith in my love for you. And I can keep pushing forward, regardless of whoever the fuck says I can’t. And I can’t let anyone or anything ever get in my way. Because if I was meant to do one thing in this God forsaken life, it was to be the mommy to the three most amazing, unique, hilarious, and absolutely authentic freeloaders that have ever graced this place with their presence.

    Anxiety

    I wake up with pressure where peace should be.
    Tight chest, cold hands—
    like my body’s got bad news it won’t share with me.
    I open my eyes, but the war’s already started.
    No trigger, no trauma—just wired and guarded.

    People say “you’re good, just breathe,”
    like lungs are the problem.
    Like air ever fixed the kind of drowning I do in silence.
    I’m not sad.
    I’m not mad.
    I’m just… off.
    And nobody sees it when the switch flips soft.

    I laugh on cue.
    I answer, “I’m fine.”
    But inside, I’m pacing the edge of a line
    I can’t name.
    I can’t cross.
    I can’t leave behind.

    You ever feel scared for no reason at all?
    Like your bones remember something you don’t recall?
    Like you’re the only one in a room full of light
    who’s being followed by shadows no one else fights?

    It’s not drama.
    It’s not weak.
    It’s a weight you carry in your teeth—
    locked jaw, clenched fists, fake calm.
    A panic that wears your face and moves on.

    Some nights I just stare at the ceiling,
    trying to outrun a thought I’m not even feeling.
    I pray for stillness but get static instead—
    a quiet so loud it screams in my head.

    This ain’t for pity. This ain’t for show.
    This is survival. This is let go or blow.
    This is for every heartbeat I had to fake.
    Every smile I stitched for everyone’s sake.

    So if I ever seem distant, short, or strange—
    I’m not cold.
    I’m in chains.
    Fighting to breathe in a body that blames
    me
    for the storm I didn’t choose,
    for a mind that tightens every fuse.

    Anxiety don’t knock. It just breaks in.
    Puts its feet up and asks how I’ve been.
    So I tell it—
    “You again?”
    It smiles.
    “Yeah. You know I live in your skin.”

    Falkland’s Law

    We are taught to choose,
    as if indecision is death—
    as if silence is weakness,
    and hesitation, sin.
    But truth isn’t always loud.
    And power
    isn’t always movement.

    There are moments
    when the greatest strength
    is doing nothing.
    Not out of fear,
    but out of wisdom.
    Because not every door needs opening.
    Not every question needs an answer.
    Not every fire deserves your water.

    Sometimes, the chaos wants your reaction.
    It feeds on your urgency.
    It tricks you into thinking
    that action alone
    equals progress.
    But no—
    discernment is the throne.
    Restraint is the crown.

    The strongest ones don’t always strike.
    They observe.
    They wait.
    They listen to the wind
    before choosing where to plant their flag.
    They watch the pieces move
    before touching the board.

    There is courage in stillness.
    There is defiance in the pause.
    Because when you don’t have to decide,
    you reclaim the power of timing.
    You allow truth to mature,
    emotion to settle,
    and consequences to reveal themselves.

    Some storms burn out
    without a single match lifted.
    Some lies unspool
    without confrontation.
    And some choices solve themselves
    when you give them the mercy of silence.

    You are not passive.
    You are precise.
    You are the calm in a world of reaction.
    You are the breath
    before the leap.
    And the space
    between rage and regret.

    So if the moment does not demand a decision,
    then don’t offer one.
    Let life unfold
    without your forced grip.
    Let wisdom be the silence
    between questions
    you never needed to ask.

    Wilson's Law

    They counted coins.
    You counted questions.
    They chased profit like prey—
    you chased truth like prophecy.
    And though the world didn’t notice at first,
    you knew:
    fortune follows those who feed the mind
    before the hand.

    While others raced the clock
    trying to beat the system,
    you were building one.
    One forged in quiet corners,
    long nights,
    books full of dust and diamonds.
    You didn’t hunger for the gold.
    You hungered for the why.

    And with each answer,
    you laid bricks beneath your future
    while they played hopscotch on sand.
    Because money is a moment.
    But knowledge—
    knowledge is momentum.
    A force that compounds
    in silence
    until the noise can’t ignore it.

    You didn’t flaunt degrees.
    You wore humility
    like armor.
    You didn’t scream credentials.
    You let your results do the whispering.
    And soon enough,
    the same world that dismissed your hunger
    became ravenous for your insights.

    Money came.
    Quietly, respectfully.
    Like a servant to its master.
    Because when the mind is rich,
    the rest must follow.
    The paycheck finds the problem-solver.
    The opportunities find the thinker.
    The throne finds the visionary
    who spent years building it
    in solitude.

    So study more.
    Ask better questions.
    Break what you know
    and build it wiser.
    Because intellect is the only currency
    that survives every crash.

    They may buy the room,
    but you built the foundation.
    And in the end,
    those who seek wisdom
    are the ones who rule.

    Gilbert’s Law

    No one is coming to tell you how.
    No divine instruction manual.
    No whispered secret from the wind.
    You are the blueprint.
    The task is the test.
    And excellence—
    that quiet, burning force within—
    is not suggested. It’s required.

    You weren’t given this burden to fumble it.
    You weren’t chosen to coast.
    You were meant to craft.
    To carve the best possible path
    from raw stone and stubborn will.

    Others may shrug,
    do the bare minimum,
    pray for luck or blame the sky.
    But you—
    you shoulder the weight with intention.
    Because if it must be done,
    let it be done with honor.
    Let it be a testament.

    There are a thousand ways
    to do something halfway.
    But only one to make it yours—
    to wear the result like a crest
    on your chest,
    knowing no one else
    could’ve walked that road
    with the same fire in their stride.

    Responsibility isn’t a chain.
    It’s a sword.
    And those who fear it,
    never rise.
    But those who wield it—
    they shape legacies.

    You don’t just take the task.
    You take ownership of its destiny.
    You ask, “How can I make this better?”
    Even when it’s good.
    Especially when it’s good.
    Because mastery doesn’t settle.
    It refines. It reimagines. It reinvents.

    And every moment you treat effort
    as sacred,
    you are building something eternal.
    Not just a finished job,
    but a symbol of your integrity.
    A reminder that greatness
    isn’t about the glory—
    it’s about the grit.

    So take the task.
    Not lightly.
    But boldly.
    Find the best way forward,
    even if no one else does.
    Especially then.

    Because to complete the mission
    is survival.
    But to elevate it—
    to perfect it—
    that is legacy.

    Kindlin's Law

    Chaos has a language. It speaks in scattered thoughts,
    racing heartbeats, and dreams that unravel by morning.
    You feel it before you name it—
    a weight behind the eyes,
    a knot where clarity should be.
    But the moment you pick up the pen,
    something ancient stirs.
    A primal magic in ink,
    the kind that bridges storm to stillness.

    You write the mess.
    You spell out the wound.
    You stop pretending the fire is manageable
    and you draw the flames with honest hands.
    Suddenly, you see it.
    It has a name. A shape. A boundary.
    What once was an unknowable shadow
    becomes a charted storm—
    still fierce, but no longer infinite.

    You were not falling apart.
    You were simply too full.
    And the act of writing—
    it is how you make space again.
    Each sentence is a blade.
    Every period, a pause to breathe.
    You dissect the chaos
    not to kill it,
    but to understand it.

    A problem on paper is no longer the beast in your brain.
    It is half-tamed—
    a creature seen and labeled.
    And that is no small victory.
    That is how healing begins.

    When you make the intangible visible,
    you strip it of its tyranny.
    And what was once unspeakable
    becomes a line in your story—
    one you now control.

    Do not underestimate the miracle
    of seeing yourself on the page.
    You are not broken,
    just burdened.
    And in the light of your own truth,
    the darkness begins to lose its grip.

    So write.
    Not because it solves everything,
    but because it solves something.
    Enough to move. Enough to breathe.
    Enough to remember:
    You are not what you carry.
    You are the one who names it,
    faces it,
    and lets it go.

    Murphy's Law

    The fear begins as a whisper—soft, almost kind.
    A flicker in the shadows of thought,
    a ghost of what could go wrong.
    But you look. You listen. You feed it.
    And fear, once invited, grows fangs.
    You cradle catastrophe in your mind
    until it sleeps beside your dreams
    and wakes before your coffee.

    The more you dread,
    the more it becomes a self-fulfilling spell,
    cast by trembling hands
    and minds too haunted to see
    that the thing we run from
    is often drawn closer
    by the thundering echo of our retreat.

    You feared they’d leave—
    so your anxious questions pushed them to the door.
    You feared the fall—
    and in bracing, you slipped.
    You feared silence—
    and your panic spoke loud enough to echo.

    The universe listens not with judgment,
    but with obedience.
    And it moves
    in the direction of your gaze.

    Fear is a script you recite so often
    that life begins to follow its stage directions.
    It becomes the blueprint of breakdowns.
    And once you expect disaster,
    you live rehearsing it—
    repeating lines that summon storms,
    as if rain was your destiny.

    But it’s not.

    You are not cursed.
    You are not doomed.
    You are simply powerful—
    and that power bends to belief.
    So shift it.
    Breathe life into faith, not fear.
    Envision calm, not collapse.
    See love arriving, not leaving.
    See doors opening instead of locking.

    Because when you choose to feed hope
    with the same hunger you once gave anxiety,
    the world responds.
    The winds turn.
    And suddenly, the monsters
    become mist.
    The worst-case no longer rules your mind.
    And the life you feared
    stops knocking
    because you finally stopped answering.

    Fear only wins
    when you crown it king.

    The Weight of Light

    They told me I was born of stardust—
    a soft echo spun from cosmic ash,
    but no one warned me that even stardust
    can be stepped on, swept up,
    or forgotten beneath someone’s shoes.

    I’ve been trying to shine in places
    that worship shadows.
    Kissed wounds into people who only
    brought me their swords.
    Let my chest be an altar for the broken,
    but no one stayed long enough to pray.
    Still, I gave—
    my time, my truth, my trembling hands—
    as if love were currency
    and I could pay off loneliness
    with interest.

    But I am not debt.
    I am not what they abandoned.
    I am the sunrise stubborn enough
    to come back every morning,
    even when the world sleeps through my arrival.
    I am the quiet resilience of oceans
    pulling tides into rhythm
    with a moon that never speaks.

    I’ve learned the universe doesn’t apologize
    for burning stars into oblivion—
    it just makes room for new constellations.
    And maybe I’m not meant to be
    understood by everyone.
    Maybe I’m here
    to remind the forgotten
    that they were never invisible.

    So if you are reading this—
    gripping your soul in clenched fists,
    carrying the kind of grief
    that leaks when no one’s watching—
    know this:

    You are not the wound.
    You are the healing.
    You are not lost.
    You are the map someone else needs.
    You are not too much.
    You are the weight of light—
    and that’s why they couldn’t hold you.

    A Welcome To Spring

    Dear Unsealers:

    At the time of writing, there’s less than ten minutes before the vernal equinox. Winter comes to a close.

    The first grass grows, the days get longer.

    It’s the time of year where come back inside from lunch will be difficult.

    I feel a sense of possibility in the air.

    With that, a welcome to the new season:

    When the first grass grows

    It’s the surest sign of time
    Rising up from the ground

    The seasons are changing
    With winter’s icy grip retreating
    Spring has finally arrived

    A time where everything’s in bloom
    Trees, grass and flowers too

    Under equal hours of day and night
    The world comes alive again

    The new season will unfold in ninety two days
    Possibility is in the air

    As the next part of the year begins

    Oswald Perez
