IQ is the Astrology of Colonial Science except it’s less poetic, way more ableist, and somehow still printed in reports like it means something deep. It doesn’t measure creativity. It doesn’t account for emotional depth, nuance, or trauma. It DEFINITELY doesn’t track how someone makes something that wrecks people and helps them feel like being alive again. IQ could never measure you… at least not the whole you. Yet […]

On People Accusing Others While Feeding Their Own Illusions The people who most aggressively accuse others of being delusional, toxic, brainwashed, or irrational… are often doing the exact same thing they’re criticizing. They mock others for “believing lies” or “feeding fantasies,” but if you look closer, they’re just reinforcing their own comforting narratives—their own carefully curated “realities.” They just happen to call their version “truth” because it serves them […]
Suffering isn’t always necessary. Not in the way we’ve been taught.Not everything needs to be processed right away.Not every bleed needs to be fixed in a hurry.Not every feeling has to be useful.Sometimes, it just needs to be. The question might not be “is it necessary?”Maybe what’s needed is space.Stillness.Witnessing.No shoulds, no goals.Just truth held gently—softly, lovingly. It hurts this much to feel this muchBecause we are alive.We love […]
Based on the structure of potassium’s function in the body, this post has been lovingly remixed to reflect the molecular reality of being in love while emotionally feral. Love ions are vital for the functioning of all living cells. The transfer of love ions across nerve cell membranes is necessary for normal nerve transmission; love deficiency and excess can each result in numerous signs and symptoms, including an abnormal […]
Empathy isn’t feeling what you would feel. It’s knowing you’re not the reference point. Real empathy is building a mental model of someone else’s realitynot yours dressed up in their shoes. It’s not assuming. It’s asking.It’s saying “I could be wrong” and meaning it. You can feel everything and still miss the point.You can look detached and actually get it better than anyone else. Empathy isn’t about being nice.It’s […]
Suffering isn’t just pain… it’s a signal. A feedback mechanism calling for engagement, not escape. When we stop trying to fix symptoms and start listening to the discomfort, we find something else: A path. A shift. A structure beneath the chaos. Transformation isn’t random. It happens through cycles of disruption, connection, and synthesis. It’s not about enduring, it’s about responding. We don’t heal by avoiding the dark. We evolve […]
Neurodivergence (ADHD, autism, and other cognitive variations) is often framed through a medicalized, deficit-based lens. It is diagnosed as a disorder, labeled as dysfunction, and treated as something to be managed, mitigated, or overcome. But what if that framing is incomplete? We call ADHD an attention deficit even though many with it experience hyper-focus, rapid pattern recognition, and deep immersion, just not always in ways that align with external […]
Love Beyond Definition: Exploring Connection, Emergence, and the Unknown through Existential Love Love is often described in familiar ways: romantic, platonic, familial, spiritual. But what if love is something more? What if love isn’t just an emotion or a relationship, but a force that shapes us, a signal that guides us, a reality that emerges between us? Throughout history, philosophers, scientists, and spiritual thinkers have attempted to define love, […]
We usually think of intelligence as something that just happens, a byproduct of evolution, something that emerges when conditions are right. But what if it’s more than that? What if intelligence is as fundamental as gravity, not just something that appears, but something that reality naturally moves toward? Wherever complexity arises, intelligence follows. And when intelligence appears, it doesn’t stay isolated, it expands, connects, and restructures the systems it […]
I have realized something that has been deeply affecting me for a long time: I don’t like labels—not even good ones. Not because they’re always inaccurate, but because they flatten something complex into something static. They take a moment, a trait, an expression of me, and make it the truth instead of a truth. And I am never just one thing. I am all of it, all the time. […]
Some ideas settle into the mind so smoothly, so effortlessly, that they feel like truth. They click into place like they were always meant to be there. They make sense of the chaos, offer a framework to hold onto, give meaning to things that once felt overwhelming. And that feels good. We all seek patterns. We all want to understand, to put things in order, to find meaning in […]
We often think of truth, change, and evolution as forces that push forward through struggle, conflict, or effort. But in reality, they don’t break through resistance—they follow the path of least resistance into new inputs that reshape them. This isn’t about passivity. It’s about recognizing where movement is already happening and how, instead of staying in a loop, it leads into something new, unfamiliar, and transformative. Truth, change, and […]
Empathy is often described as “feeling what someone else feels,” but that definition has always felt incomplete. If empathy were just an emotional reaction, why do so many people misunderstand others even when they care deeply? Why does empathy sometimes feel automatic and other times impossible? Empathy isn’t just an emotion. It’s the ability to construct a mental model of an experience you haven’t had. It’s not about guessing […]
We assume we think our thoughts. That when an idea forms, it’s because we made it happen. But if thoughts emerge rather than being directly controlled, where does choice fit in? Are we shaping our thoughts, or are we just experiencing them as they happen? And if some thoughts arrive effortlessly while others refuse to come, how much agency do we really have over what we think–and when? Some […]
Many people who think deeply about the world eventually hit a strange wall: the realization that their insights, no matter how profound they feel, have likely been thought before. This can lead to a nagging sense of inadequacy, making us question whether we’re actually adding anything meaningful or just “catching up” to what’s already out there. You have a thought that feels like a revelation, something that makes sense […]
We do not receive truth. We chase it, we test it, we refine it. And in that process, we become more. The information is already there. We aren’t creating it… we are uncovering it. Expanding our perception. Refining our awareness. Reality is not something we simply observe; it is something we interact with, shape, and evolve through. We push — again and again — to see more, to stretch […]
We hold onto structure, routines, identities, beliefs because they make us feel like we have something solid to stand on. But nothing stays still. The moment we think we have something figured out, it shifts. The things we build our sense of self on – roles, relationships, even our own thoughts – are constantly dissolving and reforming. Letting go of attachments isn’t just about releasing things or people. It’s […]
