EP 39: In this episode, I wanted to do something different not to fix emotions, but to understand them. We live in a world that teaches us to suppress what we feel, to hide behind calmness and call it control. But our emotions aren’t flaws they’re fluent, ancient languages trying to be heard.

The Language of Feeling is my translation of that inner dialogue nine emotional truths that live beneath the surface of who we are: Bitterness, Resentment, Discomfort, Anger, Disappointment, Guilt, Shame, Anxiety, and Sadness. Each one carries its own wisdom if you’re quiet enough to listen.

This episode isn’t about perfection or performance it’s about presence. It’s about learning to sit with yourself and ask, “What is this emotion trying to tell me?” Because peace doesn’t come from silence; it comes from understanding.

By the end of this conversation, I hope you see that your emotions were never the problem misinterpretation was. Every feeling you’ve ever had was a message from your soul, written in the language of being human.

A Black angel kneeling beside his reflection, staring down into red light while the air around him stays black and still.

Every time I look at it, I feel something ancient move in me. The image doesn’t look like faith. It looks like awareness the kind that burns and heals at the same time.

This episode is me sitting with that feeling asking what happens when light meets its own shadow.

When goodness begins to question itself.

When purity turns out to have edges.

I talk about the myth of moral perfection, the violence of pretending to be pure, and the beauty that comes from finally seeing yourself whole flawed, sacred, and real.

Because I’ve learned that light isn’t innocent.

It creates darkness just by existing.

And maybe that’s what makes it divine.

“Maybe the devil was never evil maybe he was just the first to question authority.

And maybe the angel who stares too long into the water doesn’t fall he finally sees the whole of himself.”

In episode 37 of The Hood Debutante, I sit down with one of life’s hardest questions: why do bad things happen? I’m not handing out clichés or easy answers. Instead, I walk through the layers nature’s indifference, the choices humans make, the pain that sometimes teaches, the way perception reshapes our stories, and the mystery that refuses explanation.

I talk about how light can exist without darkness, how shadows are born when something interrupts the light, and how the universe itself doesn’t know right from wrong only we do. This isn’t a conversation about romanticizing pain it’s about holding truth, refusing cheap comforts, and learning how to carry our light even when the shadow falls across our path.

Episode 37: Why Bad Things Happen. Press play, and let’s wrestle with it together.
