People are so beautiful... everyone LITERALLY has a story. Their story that makes them who they are at this very moment in time. And it is an ART to be able to remove your ego, remain present, and wholeheartedly SEE within the that person as they guide you through their self portrait.

And in that sense– you see, I am a lion tamer. A professional, yet far from perfect.. There are mental obstacles that I cycle through sometimes, when I am slowing down and out of the inner-ring, I can count my blessings and be thankful. I can be thankful during those low periods even when I am not able to see light, at that moment in time. I realize people are literally walking before us with their heads high and guns loaded but dealing with a war with themselves, DAILY. And I am proud of those people and admire their strength through the lens of empathy and aspiration.

Three days ago my life took a crazy turn... I began getting further treatment and care for 3 “debilitating” mental diagnosis, at the age of 29. Today I am at peace and feel soooo much more stronger than yesterdays. I own those diagnosis’ treatments and I am proud of myself. This point in my life, has sent me into a state of extreme non-resistance– In the best ways!!! I have no fight left to resist and sensing soooo much compassion and excitement on my journey’s new twist. There is a greater compassion for myself, which leads to compassion and understanding for people. Especially for the beautiful women that have rallied behind me during these last couple of weeks. I am so BLESSED and THANKFUL for the amazing people that I’ve crossed paths with and have shared experiences with. Good and bad :)

We have our own stories and unique life experiences that make us shine a little more brighter everyday. Year 29 is teaching me to live more outward for MYSELF + the people around me. We are put on this earth to love unconditionally and by that, it is my duty to take the help of others by listening and being present when we cross paths and share moments.

All thanks for my journey and the people that are meant to be in my life for a reason or even a season. If anything, this moment is telling me to tighten my focus a little more on things that matter– things that are worth of my fucks. Like the people that continue to be here for me and have rallied behind me during this brief time in my life. 

I share this very intimate experience to be vulnerable with you all and share the spirit of empowerment and hope with anyone dealing with a mental war on a daily bases. Just know that you are loved by SOMEONE out here, even if it is just 1 person. The universe is made to work with us, so it is important to stay as positive as possible. Even if we have to fake it, it will eventually appear again. There is ALWAYS light at the end of the tunnel, even if that tunnel appear over and over… embrace the ways you were created and learn how to “dance” or cope with those unique attributions. If you seek to be more cooperative with society, learn ways to cope that help you better communicate with people and and better communicate what you are trying to convey. Just know that everyone is different and just because you have a diagnosis… or 2…. or 3…. that doesn’t mean that is who you are. Don’t let anything divine you!! Just learn how to drive SAFELY in your new whip and keep it pushing.

SHERT-SKERT!

If you are reading this, you’ve taken the time out of your day, and FINITE time, to learn about what is going on in the world of Tone. And thats pretty cool to me. I appreciate your time and ask that you continue to spread light and joy amongst this world.

I see you,

Do you see me?

We are very similar, even with the same dream.

I wonder who you’ll see when I am 33.

Would you see me?

Because I’ll see you.

Graziano Locatelli’s Love of Broken, Damaged Tile

Another Breakdown

It's hard when you're always lying,
Always hiding the way you feel.
Losing your sight on truthful words,
Forgetting what is real.
