“Witness instead of activist”
“Let people unravel themselves. Discover how to find strength in observation and in letting go of the urge to constantly intervene. A glimpse into the beauty of truth and the power of inner attunement.”
“Observing as Strength”
“Sometimes I still struggle with my position, because I have to remind myself: I am not biased simply because I do not speak out against every racist, sexist, ableist, classist, ageist, religious, body-shaming, or otherwise discriminatory remark, mockery, or undertone. Why would I waste my energy trying to change someone’s behavior when all I need is the truth of their character?”
“The Wisdom of Non-Interference”
“Why force people to hide their behavior? Let them unravel. Watch how they reveal their patterns. Smile gently at the irony of self-hatred and ignorance. That is wisdom. That is strength. That is discernment. It is stronger than burning yourself out by fighting every problem in society.”
“Refusing the Burden of Universal Solidarity”
“I also don’t want to be an ally in the traditional sense. I don’t stand up for everyone. It’s exhausting. I focus on my own needs. I use the system I see, the oppression I observe, as material—so that others feel seen in my writing, my policies, my blog. But those who experience discrimination must fight for themselves. That is their path, their pain. Never place expectations on me. Being privileged by the system does not mean I have power. People are not made to be happy simply because of what they have. And freedom from expectation—that is revolutionary.”
“My role is to give voice to the forgotten, not to honor the heroes.”
