Devotion Diaries #025
The Tower That Set Me Free
Hey you,
I shared something deeply personal in today’s video (scroll down to watch it).
It’s about a moment I didn’t think I’d survive — a full-on tower collapse. The kind that leaves you gasping, doubting, flailing... and then strangely, free.
I used to think "the work" was about building something real. Something tangible. Stable. Branded. Sharable. Something I could point to and say: That’s mine.
But in the rubble, I realized something holy:
I’ve been building it all along.
Not a product. Not a performance.
But a portal. A diary. A lifeline.
This.
This space where I get to meet you in the middle of my becoming.
Even when it’s quiet. Even when it feels like a vacuum.
Even when the algorithm forgets I exist.
Creating has been my way through. My compass. My prayer.
And for the first time, I don’t feel lonely in it.
Because I have you here now. Whether you're nodding silently or reaching out between entries, your presence has become part of this devotion.
That healed something I didn’t even realize was still bleeding — the wound of “I have to do this alone.”

The Quest (for all of us):
Start sharing your lived experiences.
Daily? Weekly? Monthly?
Doesn’t matter.
What matters is that we remember we’re not alone.
We were never meant to carry our becoming in secret.
Your life is not too messy. Too quiet. Too fragmented.
It is worthy of being witnessed — as it is.
This is what social media was meant to be:
Not a stage. A circle. A communion.
🎧 Oh — and if you're wondering how I climbed out of the funk this week?
It was the exact soundscape I needed to feel the grief, the absurdity, the grit... and then laugh on the subway home, half-teary, half-triumphant.
(There are 9 mixes so far — I guess I’ve had 9 initiation portals. Wild.)
Final word for the night:
No more performing.
Just becoming.
Together.
You coming?
I’ll save you a spot in my MySpace Top 10 💻💿💕
With you always,
Manny
