Integrity is not being divided within myself.
It’s when what I feel, think, say, and do become one.
Many times, the container became too small for my wings.
My light asked for space.
My heart called first.
If I silence my Truth, I lose myself.
If I shrink to not to make others uncomfortable, I betray myself.
And yes: chaos comes.
But chaos is Divine order.
When my inner and outer worlds separate, I shut down.
When they align, It frees me.
Guilt comes. Doubt comes. Loneliness comes.
I strip down.
I empty out.
Humility roots me.
Love is my deepest Truth.
My morning star
What brings me back to myself—
alive, radiant, and courageous.
I choose Love over image,
not the “right” love,
but the Love that awakens, expands, and gives life.
The love that illuminates,
that makes me vulnerable,
that makes me tremble…
and still calls me.
And I cannot deny it.
After the storm,
I remain centered.
My presence is embodied.
More authentic.
Integrity is born from Truth.
Selfishness is born from fear.
I take action towards what ignites my heart.
I release what no longer nourishes me.
Sometimes my Truth won’t be understood.
Sometimes it will be punished.
Truth doesn’t ask for permission.
Truth stands on its own.
The world may call me bad person, reckless, a villain.
None of that defines me.
I know who I am.
Integrity is courage.
Integrity is Love choosing itself.
Be the one with the courage.
to be pointed at —simply for following your Truth.
