Live For You

Own your worth, ditch the noise, and craft a life that screams authentic and unstoppable!


Middle Ground Manifesto – The Product is Me

My rawness toward life.

My no-holds-back stance on the world’s misconceptions and broad ideas.

I dish the in-between of it all—the colorfulness of life.

I speak on being truly human, not some faux function filled with partial actualities.


You can’t be positive if you’re miserable.

And you can’t remain miserable while wishing to be positive.

You have to work through the emotion.

Be truthful about the pain.

And give yourself the power to move forward.


There is middle ground to this life!

There is middle ground to working hard for you and working hard to deplete you.

There is middle ground in love for yourself—and the love we chase for ourselves.

These are the truths I speak.

And because I’m a forward thinker, it’s etched in me.


People want quick wins—hell, I want a quick win considering the circumstances.

But the patience, grit, and slow build of something crafted from my soul gives me life—

life filled with valor and respect for myself.


I’m sick of the world, yet I still mourn it…

Still want to assist in its stubborn healing.

People have broke me, yet gave me a purpose—to help challenge and change their detrimental views.


This doesn’t mean I’ll lose myself in the process because I’m still living, still speaking for me.

Which, in turn, shares the authenticity and realness of life.

Of being human—truly human.
