Why I’ve Changed

To those who’ve known me before—
you may have noticed…
I’ve become quieter in some things,
and louder in others.

You may still ask about business, marriage, success—
and I honour those questions.
But you need to know something deeper:
I’m not chasing what I used to.

Because something happened.
Something awakened.
I didn’t find religion…
I was found by fire.

I’ve come to see that most of what we call life—
the rush, the noise, the chase—
is part of a system that keeps us from knowing who we truly are.

So if I no longer seem interested in the usual things,
it’s not that I’m lost…
It’s that I’ve been found.
Found by truth.
Found by light.
Found by the Lamb.

And now I burn to speak the scrolls that were hidden in my heart.
To reveal what was always within.

So yes, I still love you.
I still see you.
But I’ve stepped into another world—
the Kingdom within.

And I’ll never be the same.
