“Really, the definition of what makes us “human” confuses me. Showing “humanity” is like this synonym for “treating others kindly” or “like you want to be treated” or whatever, when that isn’t really human at all. Whoever came up with that definition is a real scammer, and a real genius. More than anything else, humans have been terrible to each other throughout history, and this is still the way it works today and will continue to work. It’s how we’re wired. I have “human understanding”; that’s it.”

“I may have been counted out, but I was never canceled. My past held losses, but my spirit holds legacy. I don’t just believe in myself—I decree myself unstoppable. Eviction couldn’t evict my vision. Repossession couldn’t reclaim my worth. I’ve felt poverty, but I thought like overflow. I walk like freedom. I praise like it’s already paid. Financial freedom isn’t coming—it’s already in motion!” Let’s GO!”
