I want to stop hiding.
That’s what this all boils down to.
Hiding in my own home from my father.
Hiding who I am from the world.
Hiding my power, my vision, my rhythm, my rebellion.
I’ve lived a life underground — in plain sight.
I’ve moved through school, work, family, even creativity — without ever fully arriving.
And I always told myself:“I’m hidden in this corner of the world for a reason.”
And maybe that was true.
Maybe I needed time to become the man I’m now becoming.
But the reason doesn’t matter anymore. The hiding does.
And I don’t want to do it anymore.
Because I feel it: something’s shifting.
Like a tectonic plate inside my chest. Like a dam cracking.
And I’m not afraid of what’s on the other side of that rupture.
I’m afraid of not stepping through it.
Why I Hid
• As a child: to protect myself.
• As a teenager: to avoid rejection.
• As a man: to manage other people’s discomfort.
• As a father and leader: because I didn’t know if I had the right.
But I see now…
I wasn’t just hiding.
I was incubating.
I wasn’t just avoiding.
I was becoming.
What Does It Mean to Stop?
It means the inner system is done playing small.
It means the frequency is tuned.
It means the cocoon is cracking.
It means:Hiding is over. And the world is not ready — but I am.
This Is What “Live It. Don’t Wait On It.” Really Means
It’s not about motivation. It’s not about hustle.
It’s about embodiment.
It’s about walking into the light even if it blinds you at first.
I’m not waiting for someone to open the door.
I’m kicking it down.
I don’t want to explain myself anymore.
I want to become myself. Out loud.
This is Post #8 of Living Life Elevated.
It’s not a stack. It’s a moment.
A reintroduction.
Let the light hit your face.
Let the world adjust to your frequency.
