If Eve Took A Bite Out of An Apple and Fell, Then Today I Pick Her Up and Walk Alongside Her

Every stupid question has a brilliant answer, so in short, there is no such thing as a stupid question, as what may be your simplest query could potentially unlock the door to the most profound truth you will ever know. What is this profound truth? You.

You know what is stupid though? The lie that you've been told that the inquiry into yourself and your existence is off-limits. That the posing of a question in order to discover yourself is something you should be persecuted for. That you confronting your beliefs, your values, and your experience with complete honesty, no matter how uncomfortable the truthful answer may be, is something you should be ashamed of.

You are here to unravel the layers of your own existence, and how would you do that? Questioning.

For every brilliant answer that exists in the tapestry of the life that is you, there is at least one stupid moron trying to gate-keep you by providing an answer that blames you for even asking. This is someone who seeks to control, and in the home of authentic love, there is no control, but it likes to tell you otherwise.

What is freedom? Freedom. What are limits? Limits. What is freedom with limits? Control. What is freedom without limits? Unconditional Love. What is saying you are free but then shaming you for knowing yourself and wanting to express what you know of yourself? That stupid fucking moron.

Then there are those who are misguided or insecure, and they attempt to keep your journey of self discovery under lock and key through shaming or ridicule. These so called "gatekeepers" often thrive on their ability to control narratives and discourage questioning, viewing inquiry as a threat to their authority or comfort. They may belittle your curiosity, labeling it as naive or foolish, in an effort to maintain power over how you perceive yourself and the world around you.

This has no place in an environment rooted in authentic love and support. In a space where genuine affection and respect flourish, individuals are encouraged to explore, question, and express themselves freely.

Authentic love fosters an environment where curiosity is celebrated rather than stifled, and where every inquiry is seen as a valuable contribution to the collective understanding.

In the realm of true connection, there is no need for dominance or manipulation; instead, there is a shared commitment to growth, understanding, and the acceptance of each person’s unique journey.

Let's talk about shame, the soul sucking, joy eating monster with a never-ending appetite.

Shame deeply affects our self-perception, relationships, and overall well-being. We feel that we failed to meet an expectation, whether that be societal, cultural, or personal, and all of these beliefs are shaped early in our childhoods. Before we even get to drive our car, in many cases, it has already been broken down, and that is completely unfair. To then add the extra layer of guilt to the shame cake by even attempting to cut loose from these chains is like being dead while you're alive, it is cruel.

You are not here to sacrifice your life or your authenticity because someone believes you have a quota to meet by their own selfish motive. You are here to be authentic and to live freely, your purpose being that you honor you, not to conform to the limitations set by others.

Your journey is uniquely yours, shaped by your values, passions, and experiences. When others impose their agendas upon you, remember that your worth is not determined by their standards or desires.

All it takes is for one person to misinterpret the book that is titled "your journey" for you to potentially lose your life because of their delusion, so do not be scared to use your voice to advocate for you, in a voracious sea of lost voices, let yours be the guiding light that brings you to safety. Ask every single question about yourself and the world around you.

People who believe you should sacrifice your life or your authenticity for their ideology often impose their beliefs with an alarming sense of entitlement, expecting you to conform to their vision without regard for your own values or desires. Their insistence that you should prioritize their ideology over your own well-being reflects a deep-seated insecurity and a need for control, as they project their fears and desires onto you.

You are not obligated to compromise your truth or happiness to fulfill someone else's agenda, and that true fulfillment comes from embracing your own path, free from the weight of others’ delusions.

Embrace your own reality, you are here to live with intention and purpose, breaking free from the shame associated with others’ distorted beliefs, the ones imposed on you since childhood. Your true worth comes from within, and every single question you bravely ask is one less chain that holds you to the toxic narratives that once confined you.

You are free, and that means you are creating a life that resonates with your values and your passion, fostering a sense of belonging that is rooted in acceptance rather than judgment.

You are here to know the absolute edge of yourself, not to be frozen in fear of walking towards it.

So if Eve took a bite out of an apple and fell, then today I pick her up, dust her off, and walk alongside her to my house to make an apple crisp. Who knew that falling could lead to such a sweet reward?

If you have a problem with that, maybe you should take a long, hard look in the mirror and figure out why you decided to strut past someone who fell and started shaming them instead of lending a hand, you're a real winner aren't you? Do you feel cool being a big ole' bully? You're beginning to look like a stupid moron...Wait, I feel like I've talked about this before.
