This article mentions politics.

This article is not inherently a political one but with current energy, it is intentionally my voice and my view.

I respect and honor your personal views.

I ask that this conversation is shared with that honor and respect being mutual.

I ask you to be challenged if you’ve already turned away from this article because again, it’s not inherently political, and it might inspire you in other ways.

When it comes down to the root of it, the “how did we get here?” “How do we fix it?” We have to recognize that we have been denying ourselves accountability for so long that it’s now just a collection of all the different things that we continue to ignore, deny. In politics, society, trauma systems, internal and external, it affects us on a grand scale.

So, what can we do about it?

For example, I was thinking about how I think it would be best if politicians started voicing intent, even if that intent, one, doesn’t always match the impact, and two, isn’t always truthful. I think  we don’t because for doctors, lawyers and politicians alike, this protects you from “false promises.” But in reality it’s a way to hide, for them to not be intentional with their words, and for us to have a scapegoat without taking the accountability of how we too lacked intent, how we didn’t ask the right questions, voice the right concerns or allow and validate certain people to be in power. 

Recognizing intent is not making a promise. It’s simply saying, “this is what I intend.” Which allows us to have expectations—honest expectations—of our politicians, of our leaders, of our community members, of the people we entrust with our lives. And with most importantly, ourselves.

Politically, if you look back, this is not new news. 

This is simply the first time that we have a front-row seat to the reality of what’s going on and how it’s happening—how people are creating laws to bypass laws, how people are creating constitutional rights to bypass constitutional rights, and all these different things. And then going against and creating false narratives to make something fit when, in reality, it doesn’t.

Right now, we’re understanding—again, this is a very, very hard conversation to have when we’re in the midst of everything—we understand that our politicians aren’t OUR politicians, and they’re being funded and kind of moved around like puppets for profitable gain, not really caring about the people.

And when we allow ourselves to not look through the lens of delusion, but also not look through the lens of denial, we allow ourselves to say, “Wow, I’ve been complacent.” Not only as the people in power who see a reframing or abuse of power and continue to do nothing about it, or continue to justify it, to do just enough so they can sleep at night—“well, what can I really do about it?”—and all the different things that invalidate the abuse and the lack of intent that’s taking place.

I think it’s time for us to really take the first step and just recognize it.

Because I think that some people are so focused on undoing the doing when they don’t realize that the undoing can be done through the action of its polarity, of its duality, the building, the doing of its polar opposite.

So if you want to trust your politicians, put people in power that will say, “This is my intent.” This is like the New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani. He is somebody that is balancing the scales. That’s not necessarily removing any of the pain or any of the harm caused by politicians already in power, but it’s showing us that there is hope for somebody that is honest, clear, and actionable, and doesn’t just make empty promises. He also acts on that intent, actively healing our distrust in our politicians to make actionable change, but that’s another conversation.

The point of it is that we’re so stuck on “how do we undo the bad?” that we deny ourselves the ability to make a real change, to actually take action on what’s going on. Because we’re so focused on “undo, undo, undo,” we think we couldn’t possibly build when there’s so much bad—but that’s exactly what you have to do.

That’s the whole idea of healing. 

Think of family trauma. That’s really what it breaks down to—family trauma. America is your family, and mommy and daddy have been fighting in the house. And it’s not always about, “Oh, I’ll just move out of the United States,” because deliverance comes as alignment, not escape.

So when we understand that—maybe there are things that can be done that don’t include me moving out of the house, but focusing on the things that I can do, for myself and my family, think protecting the little siblings, advocating as the middle child, and resting as the oldest, then implementing certain things that challenge the systems that we’ve put in place.

And sometimes you keep trying it, you keep pushing for it, and it goes through. It happens. You start seeing the implementation of real change, even if it’s just once.  At the end of the day, it’s about putting down the action to build, at ANY given opportunity, especially if the dynamics you’re experiencing aren’t ones you want to experience. Because at the end of the day, it’s not always about trying to correct them and trying to get them to see the flaw in their mistakes, but literally just moving forward.

Personally, I can’t go back and have the men that violated my body not violate my body. There’s literally no way for me to do that. Can I still be aware of how it negatively shaped me internally? And what does that accountability really do? I can’t undo what’s been done but now I reclaim my sexual energy every time a man flirts with with me, recognizing that it pulls on my sacral and if that flirtation isn’t welcome, energetically I can strengthen myself. The weight doesn’t change, I just get stronger. So next time, I don’t fawn, I don’t freeze, and maybe even help others do the same if they too have been victimized in the same way.

This is how I can build without undoing.

There are effects to your actions. Can you accept that? 

It was really easy for me, personally, to accept that certain people just don’t change. And that’s what you’re trying to do when you’re yelling at people—“How the fuck are you doing this?”—and it does nothing.

Can YOU see the intent and impact of your actions and maybe… choose better? Not that its bad, but is it working for the impact you want to make? How can you show up in deeper alignment with that vision you’re holding?

You’re not only wasting your time, you’re wasting your energy. You’re wasting your power trying to convince someone that literally could not give a shit about you to give a shit about you. And this is somebody with a fully developed brain, somebody who has their identity figured out, and you’re trying to change them. 

Ask yourself why.

Because you can’t always change people, but you can allow yourself to say, “Hmm, maybe there’s something else I can do” Like surround yourself with the right people. It’s kind of hard to do that when the wrong people—meaning people choosing to violate you, your body, your rights, your property—are around.

How can we support that? Sometimes they are doing all that they can because that’s all that they can. So be creative.

Will a conversation with me inspire them to take action in a different way? You never know.

You never know how much an article, a video, an event, a song, an art piece might inspire somebody—even your local politicians—to move differently, to try something new, to take divinely inspired action based on what they see in you. Because at the end of the day, it’s not about doing the same things. It’s about trying something different.

Even if that’s taking the time to call your local politicians and not just saying, “I demand.” Do you know how many times they hear that? Yeah, it might work. You know what else might work? Have you and your kids make a card for them, or a little booklet—something impactful, something inspiring.

Because we all have powerful energy and people constantly try to rob us of it to use for their own gain, so why not give it to them? Is your energy so limited that you couldn’t possibly share it? And if people with ill intent try to use it you doubt yourself so much you think diamonds and gold would rot at the sheer presence of these people? Stand up. What was all this mass energy healing if not to use it for the collective good? Does your creativity not hold power? How about your voice? Your touch? Your essence?

Because the reality of it is, we don’t have trust. For example, I don’t trust the police, but I challenge myself to try to do something. I find an ID, I find car keys on the floor; I take them to the local police station and trust. Because that’s one of those little things that’s insignificant in the grand scheme of things, but it puts the energy out there of, “I want to trust you.”

I could just post it on TikTok or Facebook or Instagram—“Hey, I found these keys in this location.” But instead, I try. And then the officers around me know, “Oh, there’s that lady that’s always bringing stuff to us. She must really trust us.” And all it takes is one person to actually do something about it.

I’d rather be that person that consistently shows up, that consistently tries, that creates the space to move forward together. To then be able to say, “Okay, if I’m able to be trusted, what will I do with your trust?”

Sometimes it won’t turn out great. There’s always the reality that the family I talked about, mommy and daddy might hurt you for speaking up and acting out. That’s real. But are you willing to try? 

That’s the point. Building requires creativity.

Often, we’re reacting when we think we’re building, and using intentional creativity allows us to question the intent in the first place.

The people protesting are trying, and it’s working—but to what extent? I’ve realized most of us adults don’t know how to be creative anymore. Then AI comes around and removes our creativity because we don’t want people inspired. 

We don’t want people to believe there’s anything outside of reality. Because if you do, you’ll try to create it—and that’s a threat.

So be creative. Research your politicians. What do they like? Maybe they like golf. Go decorate golf balls like Easter eggs and send them as a gift, with a poem on the inside of an egg carton, golf balls inside. You never know what will work.

The key to all of it is intent. A lot of the time we think our intent is good, but it’s often shaped by unhealed realities. That doesn’t make it your fault—but it makes it your responsibility.

What’s wrong isn’t recognizing it. What’s wrong is recognizing it and doing nothing differently. That’s willful ignorance. And the truth is, you can do a lot.

Be intentional. Be creative. Be yourself. Your joy is power. Sometimes joy itself is resistance.

So ask yourself: not “what more can I do on top of this?” but “what can I do differently?”

Is what you’re doing empowering—or just loud? Anxiety feels like intuition too, but the intent of how it shows up is the distinguishing factor. 

So do you move with anxiety, or intuitive intent?
