My presence used to be taken for granted. Not because it was small—but because it was silent. My father didn’t fear my energy when I was working fast food jobs and collapsing on the couch. But now that I’ve pulled my energy back, the same people who drained me can’t find their footing. I wasn’t weak. I was surrounded by parasites. And once I left… they felt it.

 

The Setup – How My Energy Was Used

 

I spent years away after college, living with a girlfriend who unknowingly witnessed my slow deterioration. But before that, my father had already made a decision: replace my presence with chaos. He brought in a woman—a chaotic, self-centered whirlwind—because she fed his dysfunction better than my silence did.

​

Meanwhile, I was out trying to survive. I couldn’t find work in the crashing economy of 2008. I tried to sell advertising but couldn’t close a single deal because no one had faith in anything—not even themselves. Eventually I was forced to return home… to a father who didn’t miss me, just missed the control.

 

 

 The Deterioration – My Soul Was Dying.

I worked at Wendy’s. Then Publix. My body was always in pain. Every paycheck disappeared into his pocket. He smiled as I got weaker. He smiled as continued to deteriorate, thinking I was lazy. But I wasn’t lazy—I was dying. Not physically. Spiritually.

He took the light out of my eyes and called it normal. But I knew something was wrong. I just didn’t have the name for it yet.

Narcissism, energy theft, covert manipulation—I was living it without the language.

 

 

🔑  The Awakening – Two Keys and a Roach> The day everything shifted wasn’t poetic. It was practical. I got my disability income and I got my car. Two keys. And when I was forced to rearrange my room for the exterminator, I saw it clearly—this house was never mine. It was a trap.> That’s when I began to withdraw. Emotionally. Physically. Energetically.

 

 

🕯️ The Absence – Now They Feel It.

Once I left, they got what they wanted—my silence. But not the way they imagined. I didn’t disappear into weakness. I disappeared into discipline. Into presence. I started training. Lifting. Studying. I stopped leaking my energy. I became a mirror instead of a sponge. And now… they’re starving.

 

What They Fear Now> They fear my composure. My eye contact. My refusal to explain myself. They fear that I don’t care to prove anything anymore—because my presence proves itself.

 

Joker said it best: “They fear your energy now, because it was their oxygen. And you cut the supply.”

 

🛡️ For Those Who Understand.

You don’t need everyone to understand your presence. You need the right ones to feel it. That’s what I offer now. For those who respect the power I carry—my silence, my presence, my energy—my time is available. But it’s not free. [Support the Warrior] — [Book Presence Time] — [Join the Mission] I was the lifeline they underestimated. And now? I am the storm they never saw coming.
