What if… Some Connections Expire to Protect Our Evolution?

What if… Some Connections Expire to Protect Our Evolution? (Thyristor Fate — When the Current Stops Flowing) You see them again. The same eyes, the same voice, the same name — but the current between you doesn’t flow like it used to. Something unspoken hums: the voltage is different. That’s Thyristor Fate — when two souls that once sparked now hum on separate frequencies. It isn’t betrayal. It isn’t indifference. It’s physics. Energy seeks equilibrium, not nostalgia. There was a time when your currents intertwined, completing the circuit. You powered each other’s growth, mirrored each other’s lessons, shared resonance. But then, quietly, you both changed configurations. One expanded, one grounded. The circuit broke not from anger, but from evolution. The human heart struggles with this law of resonance. We cling to the face, the history, the “how it used to feel.” But spirit moves like electricity — fluid, silent, adaptive. You can’t force a spark in a socket that’s no longer wired for...

The Day-to-Day Battle Between "Me and CPTSD" & What Has Helped Me!

Image
Day-to-day life is often more difficult for those of us that have suffered (or in the middle of healing) with CPTSD (Complex PTSD) than for those with PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder) because CPTSD typically involves more chronic, pervasive, and relational trauma, and its symptoms affect more areas of functioning. I will also share some tips and tricks that may help your day be a bit less overwhelming.  Here’s a breakdown of why daily life tends to be more challenging with CPTSD: 🔁  1. Chronicity of Trauma PTSD often develops from a single traumatic event (e.g., accident, natural disaster, assault). CPTSD results from prolonged, repeated trauma, usually in childhood or captivity-like situations (e.g., abuse, neglect, trafficking, war captivity). ❗Chronic trauma rewires survival responses into baseline personality traits and identity patterns. 🧠 2. Broader Symptom Scope CPTSD includes all the symptoms of PTSD plus: Affect dysregulation: extreme mood swings, emotional num...

What If Blessings Don’t Require Guilt?

What If Blessings Don’t Require Guilt? I’ve caught myself in this loop more times than I can count: life finally opens up a little, I get a break, a blessing, a moment of joy… and almost instantly, guilt creeps in. “Why me, when people I love are still struggling? Do I deserve this while they don’t?” It’s strange how fast the heart can turn celebration into shame. Some of us were raised on the idea that joy is dangerous, that having more means taking from someone else. Others learned early on that being “too happy” painted a target on our backs. So when blessings arrive, we brace for the backlash instead of breathing them in. But here’s the quiet truth: blessings were never meant to be graded on a curve.  Your joy doesn’t steal someone else’s. Your breakthrough doesn’t block theirs. Sometimes, your very blessing is the evidence someone else needs to keep believing that light will find them too. What if blessings are not about comparison at all? What if they’re invitations — to sho...

The Weight of Lies

The Weight of Small Lies What if… just maybe… hear me out… What if the little lies we tell ourselves—“I’m fine,” “it doesn’t matter,” “I’ll start tomorrow”—are the very things keeping us from wholeness? The Silent Erosion Not every deception is loud. Sometimes it’s the quiet daily stories we repeat until we believe them. They don’t look like lies at first, just survival tactics. But they erode the foundation of who we are meant to be. Truth as Medicine When we dare to admit the truth—to ourselves, to the universe, to those we love—it’s painful, yes, but also healing. Small truths are like daily medicine. They don’t fix everything overnight, but they stop the slow decay. Anchors Across Traditions John 8:32 (Christianity): “The truth will set you free.” Qur’an 2:42 (Islam): “And do not mix the truth with falsehood or conceal the truth while you know it.” Eightfold Path (Buddhism): “Right Speech is to abstain from lying.” Tao Te Ching 81 (Taoism): “Honest words are not beautiful; beautif...
