How to heal fully and properly.
THE NATURE OF ABUSE. Content Warning.
The nature of abuse is fundamentally defined by an imbalance of power and control, where one seeks dominance to achieve obedience within the powerless state of another. The path to restorative peace, emancipation, and freedom must reside within the state of truth. To become a catalyst of change one must force the mask to drop for transparency and accountability to emerge. The façade or persona others may project to the world, often conceals their core real true-self. True character is often revealed within moments of critical crisis, where someone who has experienced grave injustice, torture, ridicule, resistance to help, or silencing is forced to walk without assistance. Within moments of despair one enters into the ascended state of revelation, awakening, and enlightenment of the true self. One must acutely address and recognize where policy, legislation, legal frameworks, leadership, or lack of compassionate care or empathy may not be apparent. What resides or lies beneath, will always emerge to the surface within time, especially when another’s superficial mask drops. What is often revealed is the performative façade is no longer evident. Within the critical moments of relationships, genuine intent is demonstrated by compassion, understanding, support, and a willingness to set aside personal selfish interests for the common good of all. Unfortunately, within the realms of cruelty or manipulative intent, there can be a stark contrast to the reality initially being presented prior by the abuser, as the charm inevitably fades. Survivors of abuse can identify a change in character when loss of control is evident. Within the moments of absence, indifference, apathy, or silence, abusers are often challenged in the sense, that they must confront what they have inevitably become. Abusers are often publicly caught in a lie that they cannot explain away. A turning point emerges for a victim of abuse, when there is a shocking devastating realization that the person they confided in, was engaging in a performance act. This knowledge can be a catalyst for a victim to begin their healing journey and leave an abusive relationship, as it provides certainty, that their instincts and moral judgement were correct all along.

Just Being
What is a model human being anyway? Can anyone follow all of these steps and guides in a life unpredictable? Yes there are privileged individuals out there who take a very structured path to success but for 90% of people in the world this is not reality, and more often the advice stems from such demographic groups who can comfortably afford to sit at home making viral content all day without the concern of survival.

An Honest Person, a Successful Life
I lost an opportunity once because I told the truth. It still stings when I think about it. I remember sitting in my car afterward, hands on the steering wheel, wondering if honesty was just a pretty word people used when they could afford it. I needed that opportunity. I had bills, dreams, and a deep desire to move forward.

Why Successful People Are Different
The Day I Realized I Was Stuck I’ll never forget that rainy evening when I felt invisible. Everyone around me seemed to be moving forward—friends landing their dream jobs, starting businesses, chasing passions—while I sat on my couch, feeling like life was passing me by.
