Title: The Tower Had to Fall
Posted: August 17, 2025
Today, a real conversation about my book
turned into a reflection on my life.
My friend looked at me gently and said:
“That tower had to fall.
It had to clear the path
for who you always were—
not who you thought you were.
It was over and done.
You just needed to see it.”
His words hit hard,
as they always do.
Because even in healing,
it’s easy to question over and over
what God has already answered.
What He has reconfirmed to me again and again.
The truth is,
my situation was one of self-sacrifice.
And for that, I am as much to blame as anyone else.
I am not a victim.
I am stronger now.
Better because of it.
But I see clearly:
I gave up who I was.
I laid down my dreams,
my visions,
my sense of self—
all to make someone else happy.
I wasn’t living.
I was waiting for life to start.
That waiting turned to chaos.
That chaos unraveled me.
All I ever had to do was be honest.
But I was in love.
And I wanted it to work—
to finally work.
The truth was,
I was miserable.
And that misery was mine to own.
Behind the image we built,
there was nothing.
It was hollow.
Materialistic.
Success measured in things,
instead of in truth.
That was ego, my friends.
And yet—
this beautiful collapse changed me.
It forced me to lay down my burdens.
It made me face the broken parts of myself.
It cleared my path.
