When the FBI rescued 57 victims of forced labor from a Florida mansion tied to the so-called Kingdom of God Global Church, I was left wondering how people can be this evil—and how others can still believe their lies. It’s a story about greed, manipulation, and the dark side of blind faith that masquerades as divine truth.
I used to think tools like Grammarly were lifesavers—especially when brain fog, fatigue, and sarcoidosis made every sentence feel like it had to fight its way onto the page. But somewhere between helpful corrections and unsolicited judgment, something shifted. This isn’t a tech review. It’s a breakup story about voice, truth, and why I finally chose myself over an algorithm.
Some of the most painful moments don’t come from cruelty, but from “kindness” said out loud without a second thought. Living with sarcoidosis has taught me that certain compliments land more like paper cuts than comfort—and once you hear them, you can’t un-hear them.
