🎶 THE SIDE EFFECTS OF BEING ALIVE - SAFE TO BE YOU

The more you trust yourself, the safer it becomes to be you in this world. Your peace grows stronger. Your spirit grows louder. And no one can shake your center again—not ever. This song, “Safe to Be You,” was created for every neurodiverse heart that’s learning to come home to itself. Let it lift you, steady you, and remind you who you’ve always been. tretaylor.com

Life’s funny. You try a new supplement, a new habit, a new food, a new spiritual practice—
and for four glorious weeks you’re thinking, “Yes! This is my fix! This is the upgrade! I am healed!”

And then the side effects hit.

Maybe your nose stuffs up, your eye starts twitching, your joints hum Morse code, or your dreams suddenly feature your third-grade gym teacher juggling live ferrets. Life is wild like that.
Even gluten-free bread can be a roulette wheel—sure, no anal leakage (hallelujah), but suddenly your left eyelid does jazz hands.

This world runs on side effects.
Physical ones, emotional ones, spiritual ones.
And the kicker?
Half the time it's not even the thing you think is causing it.

Because we’re not just lugging around one body.
We’ve got the physical suit…
the emotional storm cloud…
the mental spaghetti pile…
and then—ta-da!—the spirit body, glowing like a disco ball that forgot to file taxes.

I learned recently that my spirit body is sometimes so big, so bright, so loud, I wasn’t really living in the physical one at all.
I was basically straddling 4D while trying to pay 3D rent.
(10/10 do not recommend.)

Bleep: “Side effects? Honey, I'm still processing the side effects from 1983.”

Being neurodivergent just adds extra sauce:
We cycle high, low, sideways, diagonally.
We feel what people don’t say.
We hear their incongruence like static.
Half the time we’re psychic; the other half we’re hiding in a bathroom stall trying to remember our grocery list.

And then COVID hit and the whole planet went into psychic cardiac arrest.
That global panic cracked people open.
Side effect?
Awakening.
Messy, inconvenient, explosive awakening.

And here’s my take:
Every time some shadowy power does something that looks like a grand injustice, the blowback eventually arrives like an asteroid in stilettos. There will be justice—cosmic, karmic, historical, personal. The pendulum always swings back. Civilizations rise and fall. People rise and fall. Nothing stays put.

Which brings me to you and me and this strange, holy, infuriating life.

🌱 Being Human Is a Daily Science Experiment

Every waking second, we’re recalibrating:

Am I okay?
Is this real?
Do I need a snack or an exorcism?

We want knowledge, we want safety, we want to make The Right Decision™—
but the truth is, you can’t solve your life through logic alone.
History isn’t always a guide.
Sometimes the only way forward is to say, “Screw it, I’m trying something new,”
and risk being called brilliant or crazy depending on the day.

AI doesn’t scare me.
People without emotional maturity do.
Power without integrity is where civilizations go to die (Atlantis would like a word).

🌬️ The Spirit Needs Food Too

I’ve lived most of my life dissociated—half monk, half mad scientist, half stand-up comedian with a busted mic.
(I know that’s three halves—welcome to neurodiversity.)

But what I learned?
Your spirit is the real engine.
It needs joy, beauty, laughter, connection, simplicity.
It doesn’t need a mortgage or “success” or everyone’s approval.
It needs truth.
It needs rest.
It needs you.

When your spirit starves, your life collapses.
When your spirit fills, your life expands.
(And often in ways you didn’t expect.)

Living in my van taught me this:
Home is you.
Not the structure.
Not the zip code.
Not the stuff.
You can lose everything and still have everything if your spirit is intact.
You can be poor in money and wealthy in peace.
You can be in chaos and still deeply protected.

đź§± Shadow Work Is the Real Fountain of Youth

You want to get younger?
Brighter?
Clearer?
More magnetic?
You want the money to flow?
You want the soulmate?
You want the creativity?
You want the healing?

Then…
Sorry, babe.
You gotta take out the psychic trash.

You gotta face the old wounds, the ancestral cobwebs, the traumas, the lies you inherited, the monsters under your emotional bed.
And trust me, I’ve met plenty of real monsters.
Some wear human skins.
Some don’t.
But I learned this:
The moment you choose the light, you get help. Every single time.

And you can start over at any age.
Ask me—I’m on reboot number 437.

Bleep: “If enlightenment had a warning label, it’d say: may cause spontaneous truth-telling.”

🔥 The Side Effect of Being Brave

Here’s the wildest part:
The moment you do something brave—
something aligned,
something joyful,
something true—
the universe treats it like a cheat code.

Doors open.
Old timelines dissolve.
Money flows.
New people appear.
The inner child stops throwing a tantrum.
Your ancestors cheer like a rowdy soccer team.

That’s what I’m living now.
That’s why I’m rebuilding my life—not on fear, not on survival, but on what brings me joy.
My creativity is my medicine.
My weirdness is my gift.
My resilience is my wealth.

🌟 Three Questions to Reset Your Spirit

Here you go—my daily calibration ritual:

1. When have you overcome something before that you swore you couldn’t?

You did it once.
You can do it again.
Your spirit remembers even if you don’t.

2. What outdated belief are you dragging into the present like an old sofa full of emotional bedbugs?

Your life updates every 10 years.
Your beliefs need updates too.

3. What would your future self—10 years wiser and thriving—tell you to start doing today?

That voice is real.
It’s guidance.
It’s you.

đź’› Take Care of Your Spirit First

Fill your spirit.
Rest your spirit.
Laugh often.
Cry when you need.
Ask for help.
Stop watching doom-scroll programming disguised as “news.”
Get out of the house.
Move your body.
Try one new thing.
Forgive yourself when you fall.
And when you rise—because you will—
let that victory rewrite your entire story.

You are infinite consciousness in a glitchy avatar suit.
Temporary.
Sacred.
Strong.
Softer than you admit.
And far braver than you realize.

Bleep: “Your spirit isn’t tired—you’re just running on yesterday’s software update.”

🌿 Final Note from Tré

If you’re exhausted…
If you’re scared…
If you’re lost…
If you’re rebuilding from zero…

You’re not failing.
You’re shedding.

You’re in the side-effect phase—the messy recalibration before the breakthrough.

You’re evolving, even when you can’t feel it.

And your spirit—your real self—is leading you home.

Keep going. Don’t give up. Don’t dim your light. And whatever you do… don’t forget to fill your spirit first.
The rest will follow.

I really hope this helps you get through whatever chapter you’re walking right now.
Here is the song I wrote to go with this blog—something I originally created for myself during a hard transitional moment. I use it every morning in my swimming meditations, and it makes me swim at least six extra laps every single time.

It’s a fun, upbeat techno affirmation that sneaks into your unconscious in the best way.
Play it during your workout, your walk, your meditation, or as background energy when you need a little pick-me-up.
I really like the message, and it’s been helping me stay strong on my path.
I hope it does the same for you.

It’s safe to be you.
And this song will remind you why.

With love, music, food, art, and fun,
