Healing isn't a singular event that happens all at once, it's a daily practice.

The only reason so many people are Christian is because they are too afraid to question it. Christianity discourages critical thinking, they don't want you to think for yourself because questioning often leads to deconstruction.

The fact that we have a holiday celebrating Christopher Columbus is just an example of how distorted US history is. This country was founded on genocide, cruelty, and slavery. That's the history they desperately want to erase.

Knowledge is not bad, it just depends on what you do with it.

I try to meditate each morning and set intentions. I feel like it really sets the tone and establishes the mentality I want to have for the day.

I would never vote Republican because it's about choosing the lesser of two evils. However, it's important to keep in mind that the government as a whole is corrupt. The powers that be simply want to maintain control. We need to understand our power individually and collectively.

It's incredible how we can surprise ourselves when we're met with difficulties. When we face adversity, we emerge stronger and wiser than ever before. Life will test you, but it's all about growth and overcoming those challenges.

It's wild how many non-Christians are more Christ-like than people who actually identify as Christian.

The state of politics in America is terrible, but everything must be dismantled before it can be rebuilt. There must be darkness before the light. It's the natural order. It doesn't justify the suffering. But when this paradigm eventually shifts, it will be reconstructed in a better way.

In an interview with NBC in 2011, Trump said that government shutdowns are "a tremendously negative mark on the president of the United States."

Yet, here we are. A second shutdown while Trump has been in office. Are we making America great yet?

People who use freedom of speech to justify hate speech are exhausting. Imagine being a sh*tty person just because you're allowed to, and then expecting no pushback.

There is a major lack of community and mutual support among musicians. Everybody is only out for themselves. I can't relate.

I support other artists whenever and however I can. I also don't see others as competition. I'm in competition with myself and my own creativity, that's all.

In order for the world to improve, there must be an evolution in the collective consciousness. We can contribute to that by elevating our own frequency and vibration.

I believe that ignorance is the root of all evil, and the only way to combat that is to develop our own awareness.

Trans people, I'm so happy you exist. No matter what they say, you are valid, you are worthy and there is nothing but love for you over here. 🩶

Tydale and I celebrate dark and weird stuff all year long. However, spooky season has officially begun in our household! 🎃👻

I've spent my whole life being quiet and reducing myself. Now, I'm comfortable enough to truly be myself. I'm more mentally and emotionally stable than ever. I have a partner who makes me feel safe. I'm finally embracing myself and feeling like I can take up space.

Every marginalized group in America is being targeted by conservatives and Republicans right now. Remember that history will judge you for what side you stood on. Also, silence speaks very loudly during this time. Failure to speak against injustice is equal to condoning it.

Journaling and meditation have made my mind more peaceful and much less noisy.

The Trump administration has officially declared Antifa (anti-facist) a domestic terrorist group. We do not live in a free country if they are limiting our abilities to question or criticize those in power.

Let's be clear, if you're trying to silence anti-facists, it's because you're a fascist!

Life is a constant flow and it's endlessly evolving. Things will never be the same as they once were. We can't go back, we can only move forward.

This is not a safe zone for AI use. I only respect writing, music, and art that comes from genuine human effort and creativity.

In this modern world where productivity culture is so prominent, I think it's important that we learn from nature. It's in no rush, it has no destination, it just is.

As an independent artist, I know what it's like to feel like your art doesn't matter, but I'm here to remind you that it does.

Likes and numbers are not a reflection of your value as an artist. I know it can be discouraging in this current social media landscape, but no matter what, keep creating!
