Growth: Ignorance is Bliss

Ignorance is Bliss

Ignorance is Bliss

 

Ignorance Was Bliss (Until the Universe Slapped Me Awake)

Let’s keep it real—we’ve all had that moment where life ripped the curtain back like a bad magician revealing the cheap trick. For some, it’s Santa Claus. For me? Finding out the man I called “Daddy” wasn’t my biological father.

Cue the dramatic spiral.

  • Chopped off my hair like I was in a Britney Spears breakdown.
  • Inked my skin like a walking manifesto.
  • Smoked enough weed to sedate a small village.
  • Raged like God left the stove on and forgot about me.

Turns out, the story I’d been living was a lie. And when the script flips like that? You realize two things:

  1. Control is an illusion.
  2. Your only power is in how you react.

Spiritual Awakening: When the Universe Says “Sit Down”

I tried to outrun destiny once. Thought getting my master’s abroad meant I could dodge divine assignments.

“I’m in someone else’s house—how am I supposed to set up an altar? Burn incense? They’ll think I’m weird!”

The spirits said: “We don’t care.”

Because here’s the truth—some of us are born as vessels.

  • My gaze shifts energy.
  • My touch transmits power.
  • My breath carries prayers.

And God? He doesn’t ask permission.

So when folks side-eye my practices, I laugh. Their opinions are their business. Mine? Obedience.


The Art of Divine Interference (Or Not)

Right now, a friend’s life is unraveling. I see it all—the mess, the denial, the impending crash.

But seeing doesn’t always mean speaking.

Sometimes, people need the fall.

  • Need to hit the ground.
  • Need to stare into the abyss.
  • Need their “come to Jesus” moment (literally or metaphorically).

If I interfere? I rob them of their transformation.

So I stand back. Witness. Pray. And trust that the Creator’s plan is bigger than my urge to fix things.


Final Wisdom (From the School of Hard Knocks)

  1. Life will blindside you. Your reaction determines the rebound.
  2. If you’re a vessel, stop fighting it. God’s gonna flow whether you’re “ready” or not.

  3. Not every storm is yours to calm. Sometimes, people need the rain.
  4. Live moment to moment. The bigger picture isn’t yours to hold—just to trust.

Stay open. Stay obedient. And when in doubt? Let go.
