Introspection With A Setter: Feeling Through Truth pt 1

July 12th, 2026

8/29/25
I can trust you to exist momentarily through your presence,
but that’s not enough for me to remain permanently present with you.
I need people who are present in their existence…
Those are the ones who can be granted deeper access to me.
If you are existing momentarily through your presence,
there’s no need for me to account for you full-time…
There’s no need for me to make more than just those moments…
I have to be in the acceptance of the way you choose to be fragmented…
However, I don’t have to accept, embrace, or honor it as my standard because at this point in my life, it is not.
As I strive to be in oneness, I can’t remain in reducive situations, connections, or ways of being.
It’s not only contradictory but conflicting to the ways I am growing and expanding…
And I can’t be sorry for that …
I can’t be ashamed of that…
It’s my truth, and I owe it to myself to be in my truth unwavering.
This isn’t negotiable.
“It is what it is”.
Just like people say “I Am Who I Am” to take accountability away for choosing to not evolve beyond that point…
Well, “I Am Who I Am” and fully accountable in that.
And yes, I too choose to be this way, except that this is who I truly am at my core.
I can’t change my soul…
That’s fixed.
Perception matters, right?
I suppose people who are in those states of stagnancy would like to believe they are being who they are at the core of their being, because the way they choose to be is all they know…
Not realizing there is so much truth lacking in their current state.

What’s a moment that made you question reality?
View all responses

Everyday. Every moment of the day, I find myself in a state of continuous questioning of reality.
Mainly because the real that existed in reality no longer feels as such.
Yes, I know the word used to describe that is “psychosis,” and maybe there’s truth to that,
However, it’s not as straightforward as it is normally perceived.
At the most extreme end of it, it can be debilitating, but at a fundamental level, it’s an altered state.
Oddly enough, being in altered states isn’t unusual for those of us who are accustomed to exploring from a more spiritually focused way of living.
We eventually know and grow into an acceptance that losing your mind is a part of gaining your soul.
And there’s honestly, no other way to wholly be who you actually are until you accept that.
Hard Truth!

A person who lacks accountability lacks empathy. They can’t see themselves enough to extend that visibility to others. No matter if one can see things as they appear… rather as they are or are not, you can feel and sense the lovelessness that exists within said person. And in the same breath, you can’t unsee the godlessness that dwells there as well. How it has taken form in multiple spaces in a way that is similar to that of cancerous tumors metastasizing throughout the body. It is heart-wrenching. Especially when you feel … know deep in your heart that you have the remedy… the antidote… the cure for such a case. But, how do you offer that to a person who doesn’t see themself as one who is sick? To them, what they are and are accustomed to doesn’t fit the standard of being ill. Being in such a compromising state is not something they are willing to accept as their truth. They’ll rather live in a state of denial. While you, being the person connected to them, bear witness to and experience their suffering as if it were that of your own. Eventually, coming to terms with the fact that no matter how deeply you want to rid them of what’s plaguing them, you can no longer burden yourself at the cost of your own wellness.

Introspection With A Setter: The Roots

The roots will always bring forth a reset when we stray too far away from them… sometimes in the most extreme ways… and there will be periods of confusion and fog because of the continuous cleansing those resets require. Much is stripped and needs to be lost to be restored to its original form… When we don’t let go and surrender, things get trapped and backed up… bringing forth more chao… Leaving a lot of room for unwanted and undesired things to get in … Things don’t get filtered when there’s a backlog… the flow is impossible… so the root demands will only get louder with a list that grows longer… to the point it appears damn near impossible for most to fulfill… Except it’s not for the rare few that were sent here just for that… to meet the demands.

I can’t make a promise to anyone because I am constantly evolving.
You are in my life at this moment, at this very time, for a purpose.
You suit and connect with the me I am right now.
So if I promise anything, I promise that you meant something to me Today.
I promise that, whether good or bad, you have played some part in my growth.
I promise that even if you are here for a season, your season will be well spent because I am a part of it.
Not to sound cocky, but I promise you that the effect I leave will only remind you that heaven can exist on earth.
And even if it is only for a short time span, and even if you were only blessed with just a little taste…
That everything in your world will have a broader view
That any depiction that has shackled your perception will be relieved.
That your heart, mind, and spirit will be freed…
Free Spirited, Free. Roam so eloquently through the lanes of which WE became destined to SEE how amazing life could honestly BE, which came to ME in a night which FALLS, shadows CRAWL, and all my problems are suddenly RESOLVED.
I Am S-H-A-C-K-L-E-L-E-S-S
