my book is better than my tweets

It’s here! It’s here! “Eyes On The Road” is officially available for purchase. Writing this book changed my life—I hope it helps you, too.

growth isn’t always about becoming someone new. some chapters are just about tending to what already lives inside of you. watering what’s steady. naming what’s true. no big reveal—just living even deeper into your truth.

there are versions of you that no one clapped for. versions that loved quietly, survived privately, and grew invisibly. don’t forget to celebrate those versions of yourself—even if nobody else does.

sometimes the strongest thing you can do is rest when your fear is telling you to push past the limitations you've put in place to protect yourself.

Clipse dropped the video for “So Be It” on June 17. But the song didn’t hit DSPs until after they released their new album on 7/11. That was not their original plan. To get the backstory, I spoke with @Clipse’s manager @StevenVictor. It turns out Swizz Beatz saved the day 🧵

maybe the goal isn't to get it right. maybe the goal is to keep showing up as yourself—even when you're messy. even when you're scared. especially then. "perfect" was never the point.

the moments when you want to hide are when it's most important for you to show up as yourself. when you're panicking. when you're judged. when pretending feels safer. that's when authenticity becomes courage.

a gentle reminder: you're not wrong for feeling lonely in a world that commodifies connection. you're not antisocial for craving real conversation over small talk. you're a human, surviving inhuman conditions.

a hard truth: your elders survived the systems that you're trying to dismantle. their "that's just how things are" is wisdom from a different world than the one that you are surviving. you can honor their pain and strength, while still making different choices.

stop trying to be the perfect fit for a broken system. start asking: what boundaries can I set? what energy can I redirect? clarity makes you allergic to thoughtless compliance.

sending love to everybody who is recovering from the sting of rejection. sending love to everybody who is struggling to rediscover their confidence. sending love to everybody who is trying to bounce back.

stop trying to make other people care as much as you do. your passion doesn't need to be validated by people who are content with mediocrity and stagnation.

we need healing practices that prepare us for resistance, not resignation. meditation that builds capacity to witness suffering without turning away. therapy that untangles personal wounds from systemic ones so we can respond strategically.

your internal dialogue isn't just commentary—it's creation. the stories you tell yourself about your worth become the reality you experience. don’t be afraid to interrogate the narrator.

in a world designed to limit your imagination, "realistic" goals are oftentimes just a symptom of internalized oppression. your dreams aren't too big—the systems are too small.

some of the hardest conversations are the ones you have with yourself about what you're tolerating, and why. radical honesty means calling your own bluff when you know something isn't working.

a gentle reminder: belonging isn't something you earn through perfection—it's something you claim by showing up as yourself.

stop watching to see who's not supporting you and start appreciating the people who are. your energy is currency—spend it on people and opportunities that invest back in your growth and fulfillment.

the path forward doesn't lead through numbness, nor does it call for us to look away. it calls us toward radical integration of awareness and boundaries, of global consciousness and local action, of bearing witness and knowing when to rest.

I used to think that any sign of anger meant I needed to heal more. Now, I'm so glad that I can feel anger at inequitable systems and the people that sustain them—anger that I can channel into action.

when you’ve been sleepwalking through life, admitting that you are not the root of the problem is a revelatory act. stop expending so much energy trying to be the perfect fit for a broken system. true healing makes you allergic to systems that demand thoughtless compliance.
