Integrity Is the Path: I Will Not Trade My Soul to Belong or Succeed

Anything that requires me to abandon my values, betray my beliefs, or compromise my integrity is not for me. It can miss me completely and I will not chase it.

Integrity is my compass. If I must leave grace behind, silence my truth, or step out of alignment with my soul to gain something, then it was never truly meant for me. Nothing real requires me to become someone I am not.

If I have to acquire it through injustice, manipulation, coercion, or harm, then I do not want it. Because anything I must gain at the cost of my integrity will never bring peace. And I will not trade my peace for performance. Perform for who?

This is not just a moral stance it’s a soul decision. I understand now that I cannot lead from a fractured place. I cannot guide others from wounds I refuse to acknowledge. Leadership without integrity is hollow. Influence without self-awareness is dangerous.

Integrity means I choose to heal before I lead.

It means I walk in truth even when it’s not rewarded.

It means I hold myself accountable, not just when others are watching, but when no one is.

I do not come from corruption or betrayal, and I refuse to introduce it to those who come after me. I will not model brokenness disguised as strength. I will not pass down survival patterns when I was born to live fully, freely, and in truth.

That is how I know what’s right. That is how I know what’s real. Because anything I must betray myself to keep, I am willing to lose.

I choose integrity, every time.

Love,

Umi

Divine is Beyond Labels

Theres so much beauty in the universe. I honor the presence of God in everyone. The diversity of this world doesn’t confuse me, it makes me fall deeper in love with God and with humanity. Our differences are not barriers. They are beautiful. They are the artistry of a Divine Creator. The essence of God is not confined to one name, one tribe, one religion. Race, nationality, belief systems—these are human constructs, not divine limitations. God is Spirit. Boundless. Pure. Far beyond every box we try to fit the Divine into. We are born open, whole, deeply connected. It’s fear, ego, and conditioning that teach us to separate and compare. To believe one soul is superior to another based on tribe or religion is not only untrue, it’s a distortion of truth. A distortion of the Divine. If God wanted one tribe, one race, one religion… Wouldn’t that have been easy? But diversity is the design. Each of us, different yet divine. Every b...

Versions

In a moment of profound self-reflection, honouring the different versions of myself that have shaped who I am today. Every choice I’ve made, every decision that felt uncertain at the time, has contributed to the wisdom I carry now. I’ve journeyed through many phases of growth, each one adding depth and understanding to my identity. In some ways, I’ve been many people in one lifetime and that’s something I'm proud of. Each version of me, whether it was a version of hope, doubt, strength, or transformation, has served a purpose. And now, looking back, I can see how each part of my story was necessary for the person I am becoming. I honour that and in doing so, I honor my capacity to evolve. It’s a reminder that I’m never stuck just always in the process of becoming, continuously shedding layers and uncovering new possibilities. I stand as a testament to my own resilience and growth, fully embracing both my past and my future. While reflecting with gratitude ...

Aztec Calender Aka The Sun Stone

I love all kinds of Aesthetics especially ancient arts. Sometimes i feel i should be in a destroyed city which existed thousands of years and has recently been found. Just digging up old beautiful crafted things..or mummies.lol Aesthetics can be percieved in different ways to people. What i feel is beautiful might not be to you or intresting. Two years ago i would never have thought i was into art especially the so not called "modern" arts. I appreciate anything that people take time to make, Put thought, meaning, and importance to create. Anyway I did a project on the Aztecs last semester and i was amazed. Because usually we only see "modern" paintings, carvings, figures, etc. And unfortunately some arts that are really facinating and intriguing are looked at as ugly or non modern. The aztecs are precolumbian mesoamerican people of central mexico. Some say they dont exist anymore while some say there are few of them left. Whichever is true only fact is there a...
