    Do You Love Yourself?
    2025/05/20
    Dear Permission to be Powerful Reader,It’s not politically correct to say you have low self-esteem.People aren’t as self-aware as you think.And there are plenty of people in denial about it. I was one of them.For years, I would’ve told you I had confidence. 👉 I carried myself well. 👉 I could speak with authority. 👉 I wasn’t afraid to go after what I wanted.But deep down? I didn’t actually love myself.Not really.Loving yourself isn’t about affirmations in the mirror. It’s not about telling yourself you’re worthy while ignoring all the ways you treat yourself like you’re not.So, what does the evidence say?Let’s run a quick audit:👉 Do you let people disrespect you?👉 Do you abandon yourself to keep others happy?👉 Do you settle for things you don’t want because you don’t believe you deserve better?👉 Do you constantly feel drained because you overextend yourself for people who wouldn’t do the same for you?That’s not self-love. That’s self-betrayal.I had to learn the hard way that love isn’t about words—it’s about ACTION.👉 You don’t love yourself if you’re constantly proving your worth to people who don’t appreciate you. 👉 You don’t love yourself if you let others dictate your value. 👉 You don’t love yourself if you’re afraid to walk away from what doesn’t serve you.That’s not self-love. That’s fear.So, how do you actually love yourself?You set boundaries. You protect your peace. You invest in yourself like you’re your own most important relationship—because you are.Loving yourself means your actions match your words. 👉 It means walking away from people who take you for granted. 👉 It means saying no without guilt. 👉 It means putting yourself first, not in a selfish way…But because you understand that when you thrive, you bring your best self to the world.Loving yourself means treating yourself like someone worth fighting for.Because you are.And if your life doesn’t reflect that yet—now’s the time to change it.The Hidden Signs of Self-AbandonmentSometimes, low self-worth doesn’t look like insecurity. It looks like:* Over-explaining yourself to people who don’t even deserve an explanation.* Tolerating lukewarm relationships that leave you feeling unseen.* Working yourself to the bone to prove your value instead of knowing you’re valuable.* Being the go-to fixer for everyone else’s problems but ignoring your own.Self-love isn’t about grand gestures. It’s about a series of small, consistent choices that prove—to you—that you matter.The Hardest Part About Self-Love?It forces you to take responsibility.If you’ve been allowing mistreatment, staying in cycles that harm you, or neglecting your own needs, self-love means owning up to it.No more excuses. No more pretending. No more waiting for someone else to value you first.It’s not easy.But it’s worth it.Because the moment you start acting like someone who loves themselves…Your entire world shifts.Your relationships improve. Your confidence rises. Your peace returns.And best of all?You stop settling for less than you deserve.Because real self-love doesn’t tolerate anything less than respect.And neither should you.What Happens When You Finally Love Yourself?Everything changes.* You stop chasing validation and start living with self-respect.* You attract healthier relationships because you no longer entertain toxic ones.* You recognize that your happiness isn’t anyone else’s responsibility—it’s yours.* You become unshakable, because your worth is no longer tied to external approval.And here’s the real kicker:When you truly love yourself, you stop apologizing for being who you are.👉 You stop making yourself small to make others comfortable.👉 You stop explaining your decisions to people who wouldn’t understand.👉 You stop shrinking for anyone who doesn’t celebrate your full, authentic self.Because when you love yourself… You don’t need permission to take up space.You become the person you were always meant to be.And nothing is more powerful than that.Until next time,Dancer, Writer, BuddhistP.S.: To get the summary notes of this article, go here.Permission to be Powerful is a reader-supported publication.

  • Day #4: P. Diddy vs Cassie Ventura 🥊

    Day #4: P. Diddy vs Cassie Ventura 🥊
    2025/05/18
    Dear Permission to be Powerful Reader,The fourth day of Sean “Diddy” Combs’s federal sex-trafficking trial dawned with a tense hush in the Manhattan courtroom. U.S. District Judge Arun Subramanian convened early, addressing last-minute disputes before the jury was brought in. Defense and prosecution lawyers had sparred overnight in letters to the court, and the judge was adamant about setting boundaries: he denied a defense request to introduce certain extremely explicit text messages (references to specific sex acts) that he feared would create “unfair prejudice or victimization” of. He also scolded Combs’s attorneys for dumping a trove of 400 documents on prosecutors the night before – “enormous, duplicative” exhibits, most of which would never see the light of trial. The message was clear: the day’s cross-examination of Combs’s chief accuser, Casandra “Cassie” Ventura, would proceed under strict rules of engagement.At 9:30 a.m. EDT sharp, Cassie re-took the stand. The 38-year-old R&B singer – visibly in her third trimester of pregnancy – smoothed her form-fitting gray turtleneck dress and draped a long dark jacket over her shoulders as she settled in. Despite the life-altering stakes, she appeared composed, folding her hands atop the swell of her belly. Combs, 55, watched intently from the defense table, his chin resting on one hand. Dressed in a tailored suit, he cut a calm figure, betraying little of the pressure. The jurors filed in, and a packed gallery of onlookers did the same – Combs’s mother and sons among them, along with Cassie’s husband and supporters, all bracing for what promised to be a dramatic confrontation.With everyone seated, Judge Subramanian’s gaze swept across the courtroom. “Counsel, you may proceed,” he nodded to the defense table. Attorney Anna Estevao rose, a thick binder of papers in hand. Cassie clasped a tissue in one hand – a small white anchor for the emotions under the surface. The duel was about to begin.Estevao’s strategy became evident immediately: she intended to turn Cassie’s own words against her. In a gentle, almost friendly tone, the defense lawyer began reading aloud from years-old emails and text messages between Cassie and Combs. These messages ranged from tender proclamations of love to shockingly explicit sexual entreaties. Estevao read Combs’s lines, and Cassie, under obligation, read her own responses, her voice clear but subdued. Jurors leaned forward as this intimate correspondence unfolded on their monitors.“In August 2009, Mr. Combs asked you when you wanted the next encounter to be. Do you recall your reply?” Estevao inquired.Cassie nodded faintly. On the screen, a text bubble appeared. “I’m always ready to freak off,” she read aloud, the slang term “freak-off” hanging in the air.A ripple went through the courtroom. A few jurors exchanged glances; one woman juror pressed her lips together and shook her head as the explicit phrase appeared. Combs’s lawyers have insisted all these notorious “freak-offs” – multi-day, drug-fueled sexual encounters involving hired male escorts – were consensual adventures in a swinger lifestyle, not crimes. The defense now seized on Cassie’s own enthusiastic words to support that narrative. Two days after that 2009 exchange, Estevao noted, Cassie had sent Combs another salacious message. Cassie read it softly, cheeks warm: “Me too, I just want it to be uncontrollable,” she had written to him. In the text thread, Combs responded with evident eagerness.Estevao paced casually before the witness stand. “Those were your words, Ms. Ventura. ‘Always ready to freak off.’ And ‘uncontrollable’ – sounds like anticipation, even enjoyment, doesn’t it?” she posed, arching an eyebrow. Her tone was polite, almost conversational. Cassie shifted in her seat, aware that dozens of eyes were fixed on her.“Loving FOs – freak-offs – were just words at that point,” Cassie answered.Explaining that she often told Combs what he wanted to hear. The truth, she had testified earlier, was far darker: he coerced and blackmailed her into these orgies throughout their 11-year on-and-off relationship. But now, under cross-exam, Cassie had to acknowledge her intimate messages without the full context of fear behind them. As more exchanges flashed on the screen – some romantic, some pornographic – Estevao’s reading and Cassie’s responses began to feel like a disturbing call-and-response. At times the scene was bizarrely cordial; the lawyer’s voice was gentle, and Cassie even smiled thinly at a few memories of sweeter moments. The atmosphere grew so disarmingly collegial that it felt “like two friends chatting,” as one reporter would later put it.Yet the undercurrent of menace remained. After one especially graphic text sequence, Cassie paused. “Judge, may I…take a short break?” she asked quietly, her composure finally fraying. In that...

  • The Day America Fell

    The Day America Fell
    2025/05/17
    Dear Permission to be Powerful Reader,It didn’t happen overnight… The unthinkable catastrophe that left America in ruins was years in the making…Telegraphed by ominous warnings and willful ignorance. By 2025, cracks were already visible in the nation’s foundation. Geopolitical tensions were at a boiling point…Climate disasters hammering the coasts…And lunatics controlled the keys to power. Experts sounded the alarm:A 40% chance of a new world war by the 2030sMany warned, likely involving the United States, China, and other major powers. Some even cautioned we had entered a “period of maximum danger” A volatile phase, where the slightest spark could ignite a global conflict. But America’s leaders and citizens, distracted and divided, failed to heed the signs.As China surged ahead economically and militarily.Surpassing the U.S. in raw industrial might…The balance of power teetered dangerously. Military analysts noted that the U.S. could “no longer deter China,” and the risk of a third world war was rising. Beijing’s ambitions had grown bold, and Washington’s resolve had grown brittle. Meanwhile, climate scientists delivered their dire bulletins: Earth’s vital signs were flashing red, and “the future of humanity hangs in the balance,” a global coalition of experts declared in late 2024. Year after year of record heat, megastorms, and wildfires signaled that we had entered a “critical and unpredictable new phase of the climate crisis , one that threatened food and water supplies, infrastructure, and ultimately social stability. Intelligence officials quietly concurred. A once-classified National Intelligence Assessment warned that while climate change alone might not topple nations, it would exacerbate poverty, social tensions, environmental degradation, and “ineffectual leadership”, potentially pushing fragile societies over the edge. America was not immune to these pressures; indeed, it was hurtling straight into them.Politically, the United States had become a house divided against itself – and against common sense. In this worst-case scenario, dysfunction reigned in Washington. A celebrity businessman-turned-populist demagogue found himself back in the Oval Office after the 2024 elections, doubling down on the grievance-fueled chaos of his previous term. His appointments to critical posts proved disastrous. The Department of Defense fared no better.The Commander of U.S. forces was a four-star general with a three-bottles-a-day habit, a volatile alcoholic known more for barroom brawls than battlefield brilliance. Together, this leadership trifecta was a ticking time bomb at the helm of a superpower, just as the fuse of global crisis burned down. The stage was set. All it would take was a flash and a boom to send the whole edifice tumbling down.That flash came in the spring of 2026Historians may debate the exact trigger – a showdown over Taiwan, a skirmish in the South China Sea, a miscalculation in Eastern Europe – but the outcome was undeniable. World War III had arrived on America’s doorstep, and the American Century came to a sudden, violent end. This is the story of those harrowing days and the long night that followed. It is a story of a nation brought to its knees by external attack and internal rot, a cautionary tale told in blood and desperation. What follows is a gripping exposé of the collapse of the United States – written to warn you, to shock you, and to inform you of just how close we stand to the abyss.On a gray April morning, the first shots of World War III rang out. News broke (for those still watching the news) that Chinese forces had moved on Taiwan, and within hours, U.S. and allied military assets were fully engaged. What began as a regional conflict escalated with blinding speed. Beijing and Washington traded blows in the Western Pacific – fighter jets downed, warships sunk – and neither side blinked. In Moscow, where anti-American fervor had reached a fever pitch, the Kremlin seized its chance. Russia opened a second front in Europe, striking NATO positions in Eastern Europe and threatening to use nuclear arms if the West intervened. A new Axis of authoritarians had formed, with China, Russia, North Korea, and Iran coordinating their moves. The United States suddenly found itself fighting a multifront war against nuclear-armed adversaries – the nightmare scenario strategists had long feared.Then the unthinkable happened. In minutes, the war leapt from conventional to nuclear. Satellite early-warning systems detected it: three high-altitude bursts above North America – nuclear detonations in space. At first, there were no obvious explosions on the ground. But everything electric suddenly went dark. From New York to Los Angeles, the grid collapsed in an instant as electromagnetic pulse (EMP) waves fried circuits and transformers. It was a coordinated EMP attack, likely delivered by a stealth launch of specialized warheads ...
