Overview

Before there was a flag, before there was a constitution, before there was even the idea of a united ""America,"" there were thirteen fragile experiments stretched along the eastern edge of a vast continent that was already inhabited, named, loved, and defended. The story of the thirteen colonies is often told as a heroic origin myth: brave settlers crossing oceans, carving civilization out of wilderness, planting the seeds of liberty. That version is incomplete. It omits the violence, the desperation, the contradictions, and the cost paid by Indigenous peoples, enslaved Africans, indentured servants, women, and the poor. To understand the United States, one must understand the colonies not as destiny fulfilled, but as tension embodied.

Author Information

This was the introduction to my spirituality and learning how to do things for myself. The extension of help I gift to others could only come from the capacity in how I've helped myself. It was then, I understood that as a human, experiences were needed for growth and this growth can only sprout from branching out of my comfort zone. At the end of it all, I wanted to build something more meaningful by planting seeds from the darkness of life, to watch it grow and spread among different people, thus generating light. I've come to terms with the fact that I will die one day and in no way, would I want there to be any regret for making the same decisions the masses believed to be the right ones, meanwhile neglecting my gift as the last choice. After all, the goal in this life, my life, is to express this consciousness healthily.
