Chapter 11: Shelter

September 29, 2025 - Persona: Origins
Back

Coming back from war with the parasite from paradise was like waking up inside a new body.
Same skin —
but different wiring.

I was thinner.
Scarred.
But clear.

The illusions had burned off.
The noise had dissolved.
There was no audience.
No applause.
Just breath.
And the blueprint.

So I started building again.

Not the kind of building I used to do — not noise and momentum and trying to prove I exist.
This time, it was different.
Measured. Intentional. Rooted.

I started with the basics:
Fitness.
Clean eating.
Breath control.
Sleep discipline.
Nothing sexy. Nothing spiritual.
Just structure — the kind that turns chaos into peace.

Then came the revenue.
I found ways to work again.
To create. To sell.
To build systems that didn’t need to cost me my soul.
Every cent I earned became a seed.

Then came the land.

We found a property.
Green. Quiet.
A jungle feel — but safe.
Open sky. Good vibes.

And beneath it, like some strange metaphor carved into stone…
a bomb shelter.

That’s where I built my studio.

Soundproofed walls.
Cables and herbs.
Crystals and bass traps.
This wasn’t just a space — it was a sanctum.

Where I could make music again.
Not to chase clout.
But to express truth.
To transmit.

Everything I had lived through —
Sudan, Cambodia, Ghana, Peru, Costa Rica —
was now memory inside melody.
Rhythm encoded with reality.
Pain woven into production.

I wasn’t trying to be “someone” anymore.
I’d already watched that version of me get eaten alive —
by parasites, by poverty, by pressure.

What I was building now wasn’t for them.
It was for me.
And for the few who were truly ready to hear it.

I set up the cannabis farm next.
Medicine. Nature. Work with your hands.
Grow something real.

The lifestyle became simple, sacred, and strong.
I trained.
I wrote.
I played with my kids.
I made beats underground while the sun burned above.
And for the first time in a long time…
I felt at ease.

Not because nothing could hurt me —
but because I was no longer afraid of being broken.
I had already been shattered.
And I had rebuilt myself from bone.

This wasn’t survival anymore.
This was strategy.
This was sovereignty.

And something inside me whispered:
Now… you’re ready.
