About this listen

“The Oath” is more to me than anything, the promise to protect myself from what I went through. It doesn’t mean I turned cold-hearted, angry or that I am lashing out. I turned out quite the opposite. I am still humble, grateful and down to earth despite many trying to change me. Which didn’t work, a story that I was once afraid to share. I realized I needed to share. Many may not understand, because never experience half of the things I experienced, especially at young age. A survival guide turned into a story to help others. The oath now is to help as many as I can, despite how painful it was for me to survive. I am still here for a reason.

  • You Are Enough
    May 11 2026

    I will always support the education system, but I have had my fair share of teachers who hated me, who didn't like me and wanted to see me fail or they would do illegal things that would cost them their license. I was never the perfect student, I made mistakes, hurt others and had to learn the hard way from many things I did. With many teachers taking the side of the bully, then playing the victim when the truth came out or acting nice because you got caught. It's not my problem that your true intentions were exposed, and don't think I forgot either. You are enough, don't let a grown adult tell you nothing will ever happen for you, that they try to fail you illegally and lie when they get caught. You are enough and you will be someone someday. All of us make mistakes and none of us are perfect, but many of us choose to learn from our mistakes instead of lying and hurting innocent people. Lying on your resume that you have the qualifications to be a professor at a technical college and also trying to pull illegal moves on several students, not just you. It's too late now to apologize now, you didn't destroy any of us, you went to jail because you committed a crime. That only the technical college had to apologize on your behalf but many schools you attended had to apologize. Even the unit the commander was part of, their own representative had to apologize for someone else's actions. Each profession will have some sour fruit, some will give dirty looks, talk bad about you. That's a them issue not an you issue, the choice is yours if you want to break and destroy everything or make it better.

  • White Dress
    May 11 2026
    Trying to destroy my engagement and wedding day, now you have no connection to me anymore. Throwing a tantrum without giving me the chance to explain why everything happened the way it did. You just chose to jump to conclusions instead. My only real peace was leaving you in my past. Our relationship was good until I was thirteen. That’s when everything change, that’s when you switched. A hole in my heart that will never be stitched up. The only peace was finding the one and the family who connected with my dad, his family and my three brothers. I would never mention you ever again or have anything to do with you. Don’t ever ask my brothers what I am doing or up too, you chose to leave. The happiest day turned into the saddest day of my life, but at least everyone else had common sense. You did give me the tools to survive and we did have good moments plus memories, I won’t deny that, but this is too far. The white dress that was stained when my heart shattered from that particular day, was healed by the ones who understood what was going on.

  • What I Survived Pt:II
    May 11 2026

    During 2024, I learned I had Fibromyalgia and CPS (Central Pain Syndrome), where my body no longer knows how to process pain. Dealing with two people who violated HIPPA, which both of them worked in the medical field before. Should know how to keep confidential information to themselves, but no they had to run their mouth. They had no permission to share this information because it was confidential, but you never gave a damn. You were proud to share it with the world. It boosted your ego and arrogance until it all fell down. Showing back up months later like I forgot, I don’t forget a damn thing. It’s not problem that the guilt is eating you alive. You gave me no choice but to give you the cold shoulder. You can’t handle what you did, not my problem. Then having an ex to show up six years later this year. Thinking like nothing happened, I will never forgive you. Don’t come back around like I forgot or that I will forgive you. Forgiving what you did, will make you think that you won. I only forgive myself for the hell I had to go through. I survived each trap or setup. I’m not stupid but clearly you think that. The reason I remain quiet and lurk in the shadows, is because I let you think I am clueless or don’t know what is going on. When I know exactly what is going on. I let you run your mouth and make a fool of yourself before I make my next move. While you playing checkers, I was playing chess. You thought you had me, put you were wrong.
