Her Wounds Raised Me. My Vision Will Save Me.

Breaking free from inherited limits — without asking for permission.

My mom is really upset with my use of the word delusional. She doesn’t get why I keep saying it — out loud, online, in front of strangers and friends alike — as if it’s something to be proud of. But to me, it fits. It fits like a glove made of fire and freedom. A little wild. A little out of the norm. But who gets to define normal, anyway?

Let’s Get Clear

And that’s exactly my point. Everything in this world is designed to steal your attention. To strip you of your power. To convince you that you’re broken and dependent and in need of fixing — but only if you buy this product, follow this trend, distract yourself just a little longer.

If you don’t intentionally construct your own reality, you’ll be swallowed by someone else’s.

So yes — I’m delusional. I’ve chosen a belief so big, so unshakeable, so radical, that no Netflix show, no family drama, no addiction trigger can touch it. You have to become obsessed. With your vision. With your peace. With your own aliveness.

Because when you’ve fallen that far — when survival has been your whole damn personality — you don’t climb back up with logic. You climb back up with conviction.

Her Reality. My Salvation.

I think my mom is the woman who used every last ounce of her strength just to survive. She never found her peace. And maybe she never will. That’s why I keep searching for mine. She may never understand what I’m doing. But that’s no longer my job to fix.

Her idea of reality — what she calls practical, responsible, safe — that’s her illusion. To me, it feels like a prison. My reality — this wild, passionate, purpose-fueled life I’m building — that’s her delusion. But to me?
