Fire & Gasoline

inspired by Cardi B’s Like What MV, captured by royel, 2024, ventura

fuego y gasolina, a volatile mix
(fire and gasoline, a volatile mix)

en el momento de la verdad, we rise
(in the moment of truth, we rise)

dejando atrás las cadenas que nos atan
(leaving behind the chains that bind us)

standing tall, no más sumisión
(standing tall, no more submission)

los matones caen, su poder se desvanece
(bullies fall, their power fades)

like cardi b, we rise above the hate
resilient, fierce, refusing to be silenced

nuestro fuego interno, más fuerte que sus palabras
(our inner fire, stronger than their words)

igniting change, burning bright and bold
a revolution of self-worth, uncontrolled

- mitchell royel & friends

takeaways

  1. embrace your inner fire: His Universe has gifted you with a unique spark. nurture it, let it grow, and watch as it illuminates the darkest corners of your existence. your flame is your power, your essence, your truth.

  2. toxic words are just gasoline: when others try to douse your spirit with their negativity, remember that their words are merely fuel for your fire. let their attempts to diminish you become the very thing that makes you burn brighter.

  3. the art of rising: in the face of adversity, there's a profound beauty in the act of standing up. it's a dance of defiance, a ballet of bravery. each time you rise, you're choreographing your own liberation.

  4. redefining strength: true strength isn't found in putting others down, but in lifting yourself up. it's in the quiet moments of self-affirmation, in the gentle whispers of "i am enough" that echo through His Universe.

  5. the alchemy of adversity: like cardi b, transform the lead of others' doubts into the gold of your success. let the pressure of their judgment be the force that shapes you into a diamond, unbreakable and brilliant.

  6. cultivate your tribe: surround yourself with those who fan your flames rather than try to extinguish them. in His Universe, there's a constellation of souls waiting to align with your light.

  7. the power of no: saying no to those who seek to diminish you is saying yes to yourself. it's a revolutionary act, a declaration of independence from the tyranny of others' expectations.

  8. embrace the grunge of growth: growth isn't always pretty. it's messy, it's raw, it's real. like a grunge anthem, let your journey be unapologetically authentic, full of distortion and beautiful noise.

  9. rewrite your narrative: you are the author of your story. don't let others hold the pen. in His Universe, your tale is an epic waiting to be written, full of triumph, transformation, and transcendence.

  10. the zen of zero f*cks: find peace in detachment from others' opinions. like a cosmic joke in His Universe, realize that what others think of you is none of your business. laugh in the face of judgment and dance to the rhythm of your own soul.
