If You’re Always Overthinking, You’re Probably Under-Acting A Mindset Reality Check from One Bad Maa.. Let’s call this what it is. You’re not “processing.” You’re not “being intentional.” You’re not “waiting for clarity.” You’re thinking instead of acting. Overthinking is just motion without movement. It feels productive. Yet, you really don’t realize that It isn’t. Lawless (leaning back, unimpressed): “If thinking counted as progress, we’d all be filthy fucking rich by now.” She’s not wrong. Just imagine all the progress that would have been made by action, and where you would be in life ? If You didn’t

Your Creativity Is Wild — You Keep Trying to Domesticate It A Creative Report from the Realm of Chaos… Let’s be completely honest here. Your creativity didn’t just disappear. It didn’t dry up. It didn’t abandon you. It didn’t hop the fence and run away. You caged it in, nice and tight. Somewhere along the way, you learned that creativity should be: neat explainable palatable easy to consume easy to categorize So you trimmed it down to those categories. Smoothed it right on out. Quieted it. All to make it “acceptable.” And then you wondered why it stopped showing
The Ride Is the Point Rebel’s journal — torn page, oil-stained corner I don’t ride to escape people. I ride because people don’t come with me. There’s a difference. When the engine turns over, the world simplifies. Not because it gets smaller, because it gets honest. The noise falls into place. Wind. Asphalt. Throttle. Balance. Everything else either keeps up or gets left behind. Most things get left behind. Why I Ride Riding isn’t a hobby. It’s a sorting mechanism. On a bike, there’s no room for pretending. You can’t multitask. You can’t perform. You can’t scroll your
A Magnificent Disaster From above, it almost looks intentional. One Bad Maa stands over the Realm like a god who didn’t plan perfection, only survival. Below her, the world she built moves, burns, argues, laughs, collides. Every corner alive with motion. Every shadow holding a version of her she once needed. People think creators design worlds to escape their lives. That’s a lie. Worlds get built because real life was too heavy to carry all at once. So it gets split. Creation Isn’t Imagination — It’s Translation The Realm didn’t come from fantasy. It came from compression. Too
My Discipline Is Chaotic, Not Cute People love to talk about discipline like it’s a color-coded planner, a pastel water bottle, and a perfectly lit desk. Good for them. My discipline? Oh babe… Mine looks like a garage, a goblin screaming in the corner, and a cup of coffee I forgot I made three hours ago. There’s no aesthetic here. No “morning routine.” No “boss babe” monologue playing in the background. My discipline is held together by: roller skate wheels that need tightening, a wrench I can’t find until I don’t need it, pure spite, chaotic momentum, and the
RECLAIMING THE PARTS OF ME I THREW AWAY TO SURVIVE I used to cut pieces of myself off just to keep the peace. I dimmed the fire I held within me. I softened the edges, though I still looked rough, even angry. I made myself smaller, sweeter kind of, quieter, all because the world told me survival depended on obedience. And you know what? It worked. For a while. Until it didn’t. Until the silence felt like suffocation. Until the “safer” version of me was nothing but a ghost walking around in my skin. So here’s the truth: I’m
“When the Muse Is a Menace — Creating Even on the Days You Don’t Feel Like It” A Chaos Journal Entry By One Bad Maa Some days the muse shows up like a rabid angel, claws out, ideas flying, energy popping off like electricity under the skin. And some days? The muse is a menace. Avoidant. Missing. A ghost with a middle finger. And that’s exactly why I don’t rely on her. People love to talk about inspiration. They don’t talk about the mornings where you sit there staring at your screen like it owes you money. They
Be Your Own Fuel: What Happens When Motivation Runs Out Write by One Bad Maa Some days you wake up ready to run through a brick wall, with full force, nothing is stopping you. . Other days you feel like the brick wall ran through you, fog from the scene still lingering in the air, body feeling the impact of every brick. Nobody talks about the second kind of day , the heavy ones, the foggy ones, the ones where your brain is sludge and your body feels glued to the floor. The days where “motivation” isn’t just low…
Walking Back Into My Own Life — One Loud Step at a Time There are days when life feels like it’s running without you, a full on sprint, and you’re just left in the dust of your own shadow. Like you’re watching your own existence through a fogged-up window, knowing you’re in there somewhere, but not sure how to get back to the version of you that feels alive. I’ve been in that space for a minute. Longer than I wanted to admit. Not broken, not spiraling, not defeated, just gone in a way that’s hard to describe. Like the
🕯️ Journal Entry #002: When the Realm Breathes Back October 31 – Written from the Garage by One Bad Maa The Realm’s been different tonight. You can feel it before you even flip the switch, a pulse, slow and heavy, like the walls are holding their breath. The kind of silence that hums in your teeth before it breaks. I should’ve gone inside hours ago, but I couldn’t. The air’s too thick with something I can’t name. The candle won’t stay still; the flame keeps bowing toward the workbench, like it’s listening. They say Halloween thins the veil;
