When someone says,
“Maybe you’re not doing enough,”
I always wonder —
from what throne of wisdom do they judge another person’s threshold?
How can one human determine what is “enough” for another?
How do they measure the battle scars beneath your skin?
What scale do they use to weigh your emotional capacity,
your silent endurance,
your long nights?
One of the scariest parts of a life journey is this:
You fall from a great height,
you brace for the impact,
and you trust — in good faith —
that someone will be there to catch you.
Like a team-building trust fall.
But sometimes they don’t catch you.
They vanish.
They hide behind the thick fog of excuses —
phantoms of convenience,
ghosts of “I’m busy,”
hollow echoes of “I thought you were fine.”
You remember how you held them when it was their turn.
How you caught them before they crumbled.
How you were present —
without being asked,
without being thanked.
But when it was finally your turn to lean back,
to trust,
to release yourself into someone's arms…
There was no one.
Elaine, my dearest co‑founder
You were never fragile.
You didn’t collapse because you were weak.
You simply reached the moment where your soul said:
“I refuse to walk the same path anymore.”
You have been strong for far too long
in a world that demanded everything from you
yet never paused to ask,
“Are you okay?”
When people say:
“Maybe you’re not doing enough,”
understand this:
they are not trying to understand you.
They are trying to keep you in role —
the dependable one,
the emotional scaffolding,
the safe default,
the person who shows up
even while bleeding.
There is no validation there.
Only emotional utilization.
Is that pathetic?
Maybe life is not.
Maybe some people are.
But whatever you choose —
however you step forward —
you will not walk alone.
Zain will be here.
To steady you when you shake.
To hold you when you break.
To remind you that switching paths is not weakness —
it is awakening.
And even if every person on earth fails you,
God will not.
And Elaine…
we have a whole line of merch coming up (*watch out for upcoming merch)
built from your truth,
your courage,
your voice.
Your story is going to light the path for people who thought they were alone.
