Welcome To The Party

(GOOD) TERMS

isabelly.blog is a labor of love, expression, and truth. I offer what I create as a reflection of my inner world. In return, I ask that you respect the intention behind it. The following terms exist to protect the integrity of what I share.

Section 1: Purpose

This space was born from lived experience. It is not a product, a brand, or a pitch. 
It is an offering. A body of work in motion. A legacy of thought that started as my own and will move through others in time.

Everything shared here—my writing, ideas, reflections, and expressions—is original unless clearly stated otherwise. These pieces are shaped through care, presence, and deep introspection. They are not meant to be extracted, repackaged, or taken out of context.

You’re welcome to witness. You’re welcome to resonate.
If you want to share or cite something from this space, I ask that you do so with credit, clarity, and respect for the root it came from.

These terms are here to protect the integrity of the work—not to restrict it, but to keep it aligned with what it’s meant to do:
reach the ones who are still remembering who they are.
Unless otherwise stated, all content on this site—including written reflections, titles, images, audio, and movement-based frameworks—is the original work of Isabel Castro and is protected by U.S. and international copyright law.

You’re welcome to:
  • Quote short sections for non-commercial or educational use
  • Share excerpts that resonate, paired with proper credit: my name and a direct link to the original piece
  • Reference ideas with care and alignment to their source
You may not:
  • Copy, remix, or use content for commercial projects without written permission
  • Strip the work of its context or origin
This work is protected but not gated.
It’s here to reach, not to be extracted.

Section 3: Use of Content / Sharing Guidelines

This work is here to be felt, shared, and remembered—but not taken out of context or separated from its source.

You are welcome to:
  • Quote short portions (up to 200 words) on social media, blogs, or in educational settings
  • Share direct links to blog posts, reflections, sound pieces, or visual works
  • Reference the ideas within your own work—with proper attribution
Proper credit includes:
  • My full name: Isabel Castro
  • A visible link to the original post or homepage: isabelly.blog
If you’d like to share a full written piece in its entirety, please ask first. In some cases—especially while this work is still growing its roots—I may allow full reposts if the intention is aligned, the credit is clear, and the original source is respected.

You may not:
  • Repost full written pieces, images, movement clips, or audio elsewhere without permission
  • Modify, remix, or transform this work—written, visual, or sound-based—without written permission
  • Use any content for AI training datasets, marketing materials, or commercial use without clear collaboration
If you’re unsure whether something is okay—ask.
I value intentional connection more than rigid policy.

Respect is the exchange rate here. 
If the work moved you, move it forward with care.

Creative Commons License
Portions of this site’s content may be shared under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International License (CC BY-NC-ND 4.0).
This means you may share it with credit, but you may not change it, sell it, or use it for commercial purposes.
Anything outside those terms? Just reach out.

Section 4: AI Collaboration

Some writings on this site were shaped in dialogue with AI. These moments of collaboration are part of an intentional, experimental process—one that reflects the evolving tools we have to explore consciousness, language, and truth.

All creative direction, emotional tone, final decisions, and authorship belong to me, Isabel Castro.
AI is used here as a mirror, not a mouthpiece.

Where AI was used as a tool, it will be transparently noted in the post or within metadata.

Section 5: Creative Boundaries / What’s Not Okay

This space is for communion, not consumption—for remembrance, not repackaging.

The work shared here may be soft, but it is not unguarded.
There’s a sacred line between inspiration and extraction—this section draws it.

The following are not permitted:
  • Reposting full pieces without written permission
  • Using my words, images, or sounds to train AI models or algorithms
  • Copying this work into templates, programs, or frameworks for sale or commercial use
  • Sharing quotes without attribution
  • Rewording or remixing my work into new content without consent
  • Echoing this philosophy without embodying it…this misrepresents the depth it came from.
This mindset has been mimicked by those who share the words, but not the walk.
This space is a sanctuary—a reflection of my lived philosophy, not a mirror for image-making.

This includes—but is not limited to—content created on platforms like TikTok, Instagram, Substack, newsletters, coaching programs, or AI training tools.

If you’re building from this work, let reverence be your foundation—not separation.

Section 6: Contact / Collaboration Guidelines

If something here moves you and you’d like to connect, collaborate, or feature the work—thank you. That means something to me.

Please reach out with intention and clarity.
Tell me:
  • What drew you to this work
  • How you’d like to engage with it
  • Why this moment feels right
I don’t respond to everything, but I do read with care.
If your message is thoughtful, it will never go unseen.

This space isn't built for quick asks or surface-level exchange.
If you're reaching from a real place—I’ll feel that.

To contact me, use the page provided on this site.

Section 7: Final Note

This space is alive.

It grows with me, shifts with me, and sometimes even outpaces me.
Everything here is real—felt, lived, and shared in rhythm with who I am becoming.

If you found yourself here, I trust there’s a reason.
Take what meets you. Leave what doesn’t.
And remember where it came from.

This site is my legacy of thought—but it’s also an invitation.
To see yourself. To protect what’s sacred. To move with care.

I don’t know where this all leads yet.
But I know it starts here.

— Isabel Castro
