"My life in- & outside the Box, done explaining"

You don’t want me in your life anymore.

I heard you.

I accept it.


No more trying to be understood.

No more proving.

No more twisting myself into someone acceptable.

ree

I spent years shaping myself into something safe.

Helpful. Kind. Useful.

Always holding space. Always the one to check in, apologize, shrink, soften.


And for what?

To still be the problem?


You want me gone.

So I’m gone.


But not how you think.

I’m not disappearing.

I’m not breaking.

I’m not collapsing into silence.


I’m walking out of the cage you built with your fears —

And into a life you’ll never understand.


Not because I’m above you.

But because I finally stopped lowering myself just to stay close.


There are two lives.

The one inside the box.

And the one outside.


Inside the box, I play small. I perform. I belong, but I’m not free.

Outside the box, I’m alone — but I’m alive.


You made the choice easy.

I choose life.


You want a number?Name it.

Once that’s done, we’re done.


No loops. No guilt. No return.

This isn’t exile.

This is RE-birth.


I’ll share this journey.

Not for you. Not for sympathy.

But because it’s real.


TikTok will see me walk through fire.

That’s it.


No strategy. No product. No pitch.

Just truth.


What matters is this:

I am not coming back to the version of me you could tolerate.

That one’s dead.


This is the real one.

Watch or don’t.

Understand or don’t.


But I am free now.


Let it burn.

Let them talk.

I walk on.


And honestly…what the actual fuck was I waiting for?


This is the journey beyond comfort, beyond control, beyond the stories I was told to live.

I’m walking through cities, yes — but more than that, I’m walking through layers of myself and this system.


I write from the road — not just the one beneath my feet,but the one unraveling within me.

No filters.

No edits.

No performance.


Just life, raw and real, as it breaks, reveals, and rebuilds.

This is what it looks like when you stop obeying the script — and finally choose to live your truth.


Much love

Patrick
