MY RAW STORY

Lessons, and losses. Becoming something I am proud of.

6/10/20254 min read

I’ve always felt like I’m meant to live life a little differently. Maybe it’s because I started running races at seven, or flipping hype stuff for cash at twelve. From early on, I caught a glimpse of the game life plays. Win or lose, there’s always something worth chasing, building, becoming.

Mostly, though, I was flying solo. Trust? Hard to come by. Openness? Even harder. So I armored up with my instincts. At fourteen, I read The Alchemist in one sitting. Five hours straight. It cracked something open. Told me it’s okay to want more. That the treasure isn’t out there; it’s inside. And if it's inside, then the real journey starts with knowing yourself. And trusting what you find.

The heartbreak that changed me was missing my 200m final at nine. I’d earned it, no question. But on race day, I got there late. Too late. Two calls for names. Miss both, you’re out. My dad wanted me to rest. Good intentions of course. I missed the calls. We requested the officials, but rules are rules.

So, I lost my chance.

I was furious. At the officials. At my dad. When he said sorry, I felt sick in my stomach. Because my moment had been stolen from me because I let somebody else guard it.

It wrecked me. For days. But here’s the twist: that pain showed me what it’s like to feel powerless. And I swore: never again.

I took that storm inside and drew a lion. For 140 days, more than 50 tries. Roaring, mane wild, standing on the tallest mountain. When it was done, that mane? It reminded me of my grandfather’s hair. Weird, right? But there it was, my identity, my strength, my roar.

Solitude became my superpower. Since 2021, I’ve journaled over 1,200 pages. Typed over 250,000 words. Written my mind clear. Built a fortress no low day can shake.

At sixteen, I tried stock trading. The thrill of making money from my room? Freedom in its purest form. I knew a 9-to-5 was going to feel like a cage. I want to build massive. Connect by choice, not by chance.

Fitness? My fortress. Helping friends change their lives through health and mindset is better than any trophy. That’s when I knew I’m meant to help, to push others to live better.

Over the past five years, I’ve spoken to more than 1,200 people. Some became friends. Some fleeting moments. A few stayed in my orbit. Most became stories, real experienced stories. But every one of them taught me something. It’s made me kinder, more curious, and always ready to listen. Real connection has been one of my greatest teachers.

But here’s the kicker: I don’t just want to help those already awake. I want to shake awake the sleepers, the ones who don’t even know change is possible. Hand them a blueprint. That’s why I create. Writing and thinking are the forms I use today to create. Trust and love yourself, and everything else will follow.

Life recently tested me, I crashed my bike. Scratches only. Felt invincible. Like life can’t break me. At times, I wanted to quit, sometimes curl up and wait for time to pass. But I didn’t. I rebelled. For life. A Healthy, full one.

Pain? Manageable. The hardest part was moving without seeing light at the end. But move I did. Always.

I live for me, every second, every breath. Every resource I earn on my own. No handouts. Just mine.

There was a time I was chasing everything, all at once. A dozen dreams. A dozen versions of me. A kid who wanted to do it all, be it all. But now? I’ve shifted. The energy in me has multiplied. My will to succeed? Unshakeable. It’s no longer scattered wide, it runs deep. I’m not chasing everything anymore; I’m building what truly matters. Sprinting with precision. Today, I’m not just growing. I see my true potential rising.

What makes me happy? Training. Reading. Riding highways. Real talk. Traveling. Expressing. Being Passionate. Living deeply, right now. I say /“Today is beautiful” at least three times a day. No big reason, sometimes life surprises you with little moments worth noticing.

I want my name to mean respect, impact, power. A force that’s unstoppable but warm. Real.

And yes, power lies in teams. But I’m picky. Boundaries? Solid. No average energy allowed.

Helping others? That’s my joy. Not for praise. But to show the world, it wasn't just possible for me, it's possible for everyone who sets their mind onto something.

I’m not here to blend in. I’m here to build, lead, and live loud.

Mentally Strong. Physically Healthy. Looks Sexy. Speech Clear. Hard working. Thinks sharply. Loves deeply. Fights smartly.

Life? It’s your choice. Cards dealt? Sure. But you play the hand. Everyone’s fighting battles. No one’s hand is better. Except maybe mine. Because I’m God’s child. I pray. I try to stay clean. I walk in light.

And I’m moving forward.

I help others believe their world matters, their dreams are real. Your life? It’s in your hands, every thought, every feeling, every choice.

There might not be many who want to see you win.

But that’s okay.

Because you? You’re enough.

And those who care? Their prayers are more than enough.

I’m not here to tell you what to do. Just to remind you that your story matters. Your pain, your fight, your fire, it’s all part of something bigger.

If you feel that spark, that restless pull to be more, stay close. I am here to help in figuring it out, one step, one day at a time.

And if you ever wonder, just say it out loud: “Today is beautiful.” Because it is.
