Night,

Live.. i dare you!

August 31, 2022 J. 0 Comments


It simply popped into my head of out seemingly no where on a regular Friday evening while I was in the studio. The thought that I don't reach for what I want. That living this cautious life was fine and dandy but regret was a pill that remained bitter even after the initial taste. 

I am 30 years old. I have made several choices in my life. And many I would make over and over again. Some though, until recently, until this thought - I believed I would make again but I know that to be false now. I loved and lived cautiously. I never dared! And on those brief occasions when I dipped my little toe into the sea of life and felt the cold I snatched it right back and fell into the warm safety of my shell

Cocooned, familiar and safe. Watching from within the safe confines for my own pre-arranged boundaries. But it was such a limited view. What about the whip of the fresh sea breeze in my hair, on my face? What about the feel of the sand between my toes and that of the ocean as it reaches it waves and wraps them around my ankles drawing me into itself? The warmth of the sun as it shines and the comfort of the rain as it falls and drenches every part of me. 

I don’t want to live in a shell anymore. I want to dare. To not make decisions from a place of fear, desolation and loneliness. I am the fucking Sun and Moon. All at once and all the time. I will not shrink. I will not be meek. I will not be speechless. 

No longer.

Go on Jas, live boldly. I dare you!

Night,

Not really yours but yours for a time.

"What is yours can’t be taken away"
That's what you believe. 

The truth is:
What is yours can be taken away if you mistreat it.
What is yours can change its mind.
What is yours can choose to belong to another 
What is yours might have requirements you cannot provide. 

All that you think is yours is borrowed.
Transient. 
Temporary. 

Because this whole journey is ephemeral.
Remember that.

Day,

Live your choice

August 19, 2022 J. 0 Comments

Do not live the kind of life you’d be ashamed of. Something you’re scared to have exposed or that can be used to blackmail you.

Live the kind of life you would be proud to declare loudly. It might not be the smoothest or the prettiest but it would be filled with your truth. Heart, soul and truth.

Yes there is consequence but don’t mistake fear for caution. They are not the same. Dare to live. Dare to speak your truth. Dare to take up room. 

Also, dare to be silent if you choose. Dare to be massless like air. It is a form of living too.

Life therefore is what you decide. Change your mind as often as you need. We are not built to be static and stagnant. Life is too short for that. We are in constant motion, a state of constant flux. We all are. Know thyself first. Through all your seasons and changes. Explore, learn, know.

Learn to see people for who and what they are today and now. Learn them again if 
they matter. Just as they will learn you again and again if it matters to them.

Some are incapable of this relearning process. They don’t even know that such a thing exists. And they may be people that are close enough to you to matter. Since you know this about them already and they matter enough, do not take it all to heart - especially when they throw blades and kunai knives at you. 

It’s okay, breathe.

You decide what you take in, what you absorb. You can say no. You can choose no.
I’ll remind you again, life is what you decide - so live your choice

 If I have to, I always do it myself. 
But for the things that aren’t my business, 
I won’t meddle in.”
