Matching Energy Is Not My Truth








In today’s world, it’s common to hear people say things like “I match energy, do me I do you” It sounds empowering at first, this idea that we can mirror what we’re given and protect ourselves by never offering more than we receive. But what happens when we let the behavior of others dictate how we show up in the world? What happens when we abandon our values in the name of self-protection?


The truth is, matching energy is often a reaction, not a response. It is driven by emotion, by ego, by the desire to be untouched. But I have come to learn that real strength, true power, comes not from mirroring others but from remaining anchored in who you are, even when the world tries to shake you.



Kindness Isn’t Weakness


There is a difference between being kind and being nice, and it is more than just language.


Kindness is rooted in truth, in care, in the desire to do right by others not because it is easy, but because it is the honorable thing to do. Kindness does not always look soft. Sometimes it means speaking up, setting boundaries, or saying no. It requires courage, not comfort.


Niceness, on the other hand, often hides discomfort behind a smile. It is about being liked, keeping the peace, or avoiding conflict at any cost. And while it may keep things calm on the surface, it rarely creates anything real.


I am called to be kind by my values, by my culture, and by my faith. But I no longer feel the need to be nice in the way the world expects. I do not owe anyone performative sweetness or silence. I owe God my integrity, and I owe myself peace.


I Do Not Match Energy


I have lived through storms. I know what chaos feels like. But just because I understand it does not mean I must become it.


I do not match every mood thrown my way. I do not meet fire with fire. I do not step down from who I am just because someone else does not know who they are.


Matching energy may feel satisfying in the moment, but I have learned it is often a way of abandoning yourself, of stepping out of alignment to meet someone in their shadow. That is not my purpose.


My energy is sacred. I choose peace not because I am passive, but because I am rooted. Because peace requires discipline. Because it protects the version of me I have fought to become.



I Choose My Own Rhythm


The world can be loud. Expectations, assumptions, and projections are everywhere. But I move differently now.


I do not rush to defend myself. I do not argue to be understood. I do not react just to prove I am not weak.


I move with intention. I speak from stillness. I choose my own rhythm, even if no one else hears the beat. That rhythm is built on faith, love, dignity, and truth.


I am not here to mirror dysfunction. I am here to disrupt it. Not with noise, but with grace. Not with ego, but with clarity.



Peace Is My Legacy


Everything I do is shaped by the memory of those who came before me. I will carry myself with manners, with values, with the quiet strength passed down through generations.


I will not speak out of rage. I will speak from reflection. I will not respond to provoke. I will respond to preserve what matters: my dignity, my heart, my peace.


Let others match storms if they wish.


As for me, I will remain the calm. I will remain the light.

And I will protect my peace at all costs.


Love always,

Umi

Duality vs Oneness

In many mystical traditions, God is seen as the One Source of all that exists. From this perspective, nothing stands outside the Divine, not even the shadows we fear. Both light and dark, joy and pain, are contained within the infinite mystery of God. Yet in faith traditions like Christianity and Islam, the devil is understood differently, not as God, but as a creation of God. The devil becomes the symbol of separation , the willful turning away from unity, love, and truth.  Where God is perfection and pure goodness, evil arises not from the Source but from distorted will, pride, and rebellion against divine alignment. Beyond the Image of Horns and Fire, The devil is not a creature with horns, a fiery tail, and glowing yellow eyes. It is not merely an external monster lurking in shadows. Instead, it represents the energy of separation, the distortion of truth, the rejection of compassion , the misuse of divine gifts . The devil is rebellion against unity, whether it shows up in i...

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 ...

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 ...
