There’s a Difference Between Presence and Availability

Written by Aremuorin / Contact / Mailing List / Linktree / Latest Post  – Let’s keep the conversation going !!! Join to receive a music gift & update.

Some people are around…
but not truly there.

They exist in proximity —
in the room,
in the timeline,
in the moment.

But when life asks something deeper of them —
they disappear.

Not always physically.
Sometimes emotionally.
Sometimes spiritually.
Sometimes in ways that leave you questioning your own reality.

And if you’re not careful,
you start adjusting yourself to accommodate that absence.

You lower your expectations.
You explain away the silence.
You carry conversations alone.
You perform connection instead of experiencing it.

Presence without depth is not presence at all.
It’s performance.

Real connection shows up when it’s inconvenient.
When it’s uncomfortable.
When there’s nothing to gain.

That’s how you know it’s real.

So if something feels off…
if someone is “there” but never truly with you —

Trust that.

Because your spirit already knows the difference.

You deserve more than proximity.
You deserve presence.

I’d say

Over time, my views have become less about fixed labels and more about understanding context and impact. I’ve moved away from rigid positions and towards asking better questions, listening more carefully, and recognising that most issues are complex rather than binary. Experience has taught me to value nuance, evidence, and empathy over ideology, and to focus on outcomes rather than argument.

The Healing Power of “I am sorry”: A Small Sentence with Profound Impact ApologiesMatter #AnthonyEverest #HealingThroughApologies #ThePowerOfSorry

By Aremuorin

AnthonyEverest.com

The power of “I am sorry” is often underestimated. This simple sentence holds tremendous therapeutic value and can prevent unnecessary conflicts and even save lives. Many troubles in relationships and homes are prolonged because individuals are too proud to say “I am sorry.” Egos prevent spouses from apologizing to each other, and friends refuse to be the first to utter those words.

In our society, saying “I am sorry” is often seen as a sign of weakness or foolishness. It is a sad reality that curses are easily unleashed while apologies are hard to come by. This is particularly true in Africa, where saying “I am sorry” can be tougher than forcing a donkey through a needle hole.

We are all victims of this reluctance to apologize. We have lost valuable assets, money, and even lives because we fail to say those two simple words. Yet, saying “I am sorry” only requires a breath of speech.

Have you ever wondered why domestic violence is less prevalent in the Western world? It is because they understand the power of apologizing. Husbands, wives, and children say “I am sorry” to each other when they make mistakes, and life goes on harmoniously.

Let us cultivate the habit of saying “I am sorry,” even if we believe we are right. It may be difficult, but it is an affordable gesture that can mend relationships and bring peace.

Lastly, if I have offended you in any way, I sincerely apologize.

Happy Easter To Everyone !!! – #In14Ways #SundayConfessions #Easter #MercyfulGrace

Wrritten by Anthony Everest

“You can seek out the things but miss God” – William McDowell

This is deep as the deepest blue sea. Process this. What is love? God is love. This notion takes me back to my 1st record deal. I slayed the auditions …

My first ever audition at 21. A major audition. God told me to decline the contract which I disobeyed, but heavily paid for by ripping my larynx in a week. It took me over a decade to recover.

Praise be. I am almost there and have picked up more new blessings along the way (Songwriting) but the price was a high one. My world class beautiful golden voice.

Recently received a “Double Honorary Doctorate in Divinity & Music” from a Bible School in Africa for my work in Music for “If You Need Me” & my Humanitarian work at MercyfulGrace Records / Blog.

I’m grateful God did not completely destroy my gifts. He made a deal with me in the aftermath when I pleaded for #MercyfulGraceRecords. Obedience is better than sacrifice. https://anthonyeverest.com/subscribe/

My Music MasterClass Workshop With Natalie Part 1a & b – #In14Ways #AnthonyEverest #MercyfulGrace

Music Masterclass Workshop with Natalie & Anthony – Part 1a🌹♥️🎵

Contact/Business: Anthony@AnthonyEverest.com
https://AnthonyEverest.com

When I was 21, I tore my larynx. They said I’ll never sing again. Ever since my impeccable, beautiful tone and outstanding wide vocal range was forever compared and deemed a shadow of it’s self by the critics. I was one of them, too. The cruel mental mind games had begun.

This made me feel vulnerable, vocal shy, and withdraw from performing so much that I lost confidence in my own stella abilities and vocal talents.

I since then turned more and more to songwriting to over compensate. I do enjoy writing too, thou, I’ve missed great singing too. So I revisted me, in this workshop with Natalie, to take back those years.

Set List – Part 1b ❤️🌹🎵

  1. NATURAL WOMAN – Part 1b
  2. ALL OF ME
  3. SAVING ALL MY LOVE
  4. GHETTO DREAMS (Piano Solo)
  5. EMPTINESS (Piano Solo)
  6. NATURAL WOMAN – Part 1a (Bonus: Audio)

This was a lot of fun. Enjoy. Please ignore all the mistakes. It’s a workshop and meant to be vulnerable, risky, experimental and endearing, for growth.

I learned so much from this experience. It taught me much about, vulnerability, trust, self control and letting go despite a broken arm I suffered on route to the same workshop the upper week which landed me in AE and a sling. It’s amazing what, determination, pain killers and adrenaline can do.

My my. Natalie is incredibly gifted and kind. She should be paid more than a million bucks a day for her talents. I’m moved. Thank you ♥️🌹

Self #Love – #In14Ways #MercyfulGrace

Me time. I needed that. I’m such a maverick when it comes to doing what I want. Sometimes flying solo isn’t so bad at all. I just #did ..’ – Anthony Everest

Why?

God, is forever pure, as sure, as a new dawn, forever more. I’m forever grateful, despite incessant, disappearing, road blocks for real love bestowed upon this blessed burden in every challenge ..’ It’s why I have lesser patience for trifflling stunt queens.

In a world of illusions, nothing is real; but the love of God. The rest is a waste of time!


Heres a well of wellness – they don’t call it a revelation for nothing. If not, so; everyone would get it ..’

The Blood of Jesus*, I proclaim. Sanctified Blessed* am I, and everything I lay my hands upon, in Jesus Name. Ain’t nobody stepping upon my dreams; here on, here :: Cross Me and Cross the Lord* :: Amen ::


My conversations are between me and my maker. If it jars you – don’t read them ::

Hypocrisy and Religion have been walking side by side since the dawn of man. You won’t find it just in politics. But then again, who said Religion is not Politics?

The line between religion and hypocrisy has been blurred since the dawn of man!

The more I look at humanity, the more I see how beautiful we are, as ugly as we are!

I was looking for myself in other people until I found myself, in myself. That’s when I let go of the manipulation, from all the manipulators, and all the gaslighters; to truly free myself, indeed, from that hypocrisy 🎤🎶⚠️.

Listen to Hypocrite on Deezer: Discover “Hypocrite” by Àrèmúorin on Deezer

When frenemies can’t manipulate you, they result to mud slinging dirty tactics.

Unfortunately, I out class them in that dept with too much uniqueness, wit, charisma & talent to be rolling in the mud with their self hate, 6 inches, below the gutters ..’

My infinite special thanks to Lady Waynet and her Team at Extraordinary Achievers TV for this wonderful promo they blessed me with. I am humbled. 🌺❤️👈🏾
