Because once it's yours, you can't unsee it∴ The way money moves and the way value moves—they're not the same thing∴ they never were∴
You've been living in the gap between them your whole life∴

Slowly, the questions underneath will begin to surface:
What do you keep trying to earn∵
What identity have you built around struggle∵
Who are you doing this for∵
What happens if no one sees it∵
What would collapse if you stopped proving your worth∵
Write them down∴ Even if they don't make sense yet∴ Especially if they hurt∴
There's something you can't see yet∴
Let me show you where to look∴

Wealth was never about what you kept∴ It was about what flowed through you∴
◌ A well is where what's underground becomes available∴ Where the hidden source surfaces∴ Where you can finally drink∴ ◌
Every culture that ever found water underground discovered the same thing: if you want something from the depths—from the source beneath the source—you have to send something down first∴

⚱ The Norse told of Odin tearing out his eye and dropping it into the well∴ The price of seeing everything was losing the way you used to see∴
⚱ The Maya stood at the edge of cenotes—those blue mouths in the earth—and sent jade and gold spinning down, calling the rain by proving they trusted the fall∴
⚱ The Japanese tied prayers to branches above sacred springs∴ When the wind came, the words would drop into the current and be carried to where they needed to go∴
These weren't superstitions∴ These were instructions∴

Depth requires letting go∴ Flow requires trust∴ True wealth only exists when it can move∴
Look at what you wrote down∴ Read it back to yourself∴ Say it aloud if you can∴
This is what you're holding∴ Not just an idea∴ A version of yourself that's been surviving instead of living∴
Feel its weight∴
Do you want to keep living in a world where you carry this∵
Or are you ready to see what happens when you let it go?
