I let you define me.I let you become my everything—my worth, my validation, my shield.I let you cloud my truth, using you as a veil to hide what I truly yearned for: connection, depth, creativity.
I used you to prove I had it all figured out. To show the world I was self-sufficient, unshakable, untouchable. But behind closed doors, I longed to be held. I wished for support. I wished for the courage to open up.
But no—I used you to suppress my happiness instead of creating it. I used you as an escape.
Until you left.

You stripped me bare, left me naked on the floor, forcing me to face the very thing I had spent my life running from—my truth. There was no more hiding, no more illusion, no more armor. Just me, raw and exposed. And in that vulnerability, I had no choice but to surrender. To reach out. To allow myself to be supported.
You left so I could finally share my light—not just with myself, but with those who were meant to see it, feel it, and be inspired by it.
You left so I could confront my own lies.You left so I could redefine what abundance truly means.
Abundance is not just financial prosperity. It is people. It is creativity. It is ideas, inspiration, information. It is help, love, connection. You left so I could understand that I was never meant to walk this path alone.
And then, you came back.
This time, I welcomed you with open arms—not as a crutch, not as a mask, but as a tool to build my wildest dreams.
And you spoke to me. You whispered a truth I had long ignored:
“My child, use me for your happiness, not as a means to hide it. My child, use me so the corners of your mouth stretch wide with joy. My child, use me to build the reality you desire.
And remember—you are not alone. You are supported, both in the spiritual and physical realms. The more you embrace your truth, the more support and abundance will flow to you.
With love,Your Money.”
