Spirituality isn’t about rebelling against religion—it’s about expanding beyond it. When I stepped out of church and into my full spiritual calling, I realized I didn’t leave faith behind—I brought it with me. But now? I light my incense, I say my prayers, I use my crystals, and I know  the Divine is listening because I’m listening too.

As I witnessed my dreams falling apart, one painful revelation after another, I realized that the things I thought would make me happy were mere illusions. The possessions, the accolades, the outward symbols of success—they lost their value in my eyes. I was living to purchase things that ultimately didn't bring fulfillment.
