Time for some random ramblings, and this is coming from an exhausted, yet fulfilled walking zombie:

I had the BEST time of my LIFE! Like oh my god, I went to this Great Gatsby orchestra concert and OH.MY.GOD. The music was just so full of LIFE and PASSION! The performers were TOP notch and the composer was so eccentric -It was all tied together so well and the venue was STUNNING! Glass chandelier, great snacks and I got a view from the balcony, so that definitely enhanced my experience.

Honestly, the jazz was just...wow. The whole experience reminded me of what can come out of life, the wonderful people that make these things happen and the COMMUNITY that comes together to make such a special project-I understand that the world, especially as to what we can see right now thanks to social media, seems to be very chaotic and that there's no light in the tunnel...but if you think about it, what if self-expression and community and being proactive is the key? Now I am tired, so this might not make sense, but hear me out:

Jazz is this lively genre of music that just seems to DRAW people in-It's been the lifeblood of so many people and has inspired multiple dances, subgenres and it enhanced the Roaring Twenties and made the era so grand and inviting. It's what gave people hope and a reason to keep on dancing.

So what if we all just need to come together to make a reason? I truly do understand that the world is an overwhelming place to be, and that everything seems bleak and hopeless. I empathise with that, as I struggle with burnout and as somebody who aspires to be an author but is afraid of the capitalistic system destroying my chances, climate change and all that "jazz" (no pun intended), I really do get it.

But what if constant negativity from social media is what's stifling our growth and our chances at a good life? What if it's the way to keep everybody down, make them feel lile there's no way up and so the issues keep on growing stronger?

...Perhaps all we need to have..is a bit of hope and a way to take action?

I understand that sounds ABSURD, but I heard this quote on Pinterest: ``Joy is resistance.``

Perhaps all we need to do is find a way to make things better, and allow ourselves respite and forgiveness? Allow yourself to love others and yourself? Allow yourself to indulge in your dreams and desires? ALLOW yourself to finally see the potential that's within you?

It may seem like a far-fetched idea, but is it really when so many people come together? There's no harm in being the one to:

Take. The. First. Step.

Let's allow ourseoves grace and compassion, and realise this world has always been messed up, but oh so wonderful as well and can always get better, once there is a motivator for change.

For us, that motivator is peace in knowing you and the next generations can live a fulfilling, joyful and thrilling life without any worries of money, fitting in, misery or any of that.

That's just my hot take on it. Cliché? Maybe, but repetition doesn't, right?

Anyways, thanks for coming to my TED talk! *Raises glass of grape juice in a toast* May we find joy in resistance!

hii, on anon because i am Afraid but i just wanted to say that your poetry is really beautiful, i’m very glad it graced my dash

Awwwh! Thank you so much! I’m happy you find it beautiful! 🥰✨

Dear, soulmate…

Connected by lace,

An Invisible brace,

Energy unknown,

Charming me to roam.

She could be right here,

Yet I’m left to peer,

Through the world’s faces,

Snooping through spaces.

She searches earth too,

Darting through green, blue-

Or, at least, I hope,

She looks for our rope.

I can only dream,

That she’s a sun beam,

Caught in an eclipse,

Wishing for my lips.

Across or far from,

Desire pounds drums,

Belonging, beloved,

Her I wish to love.

If I walk and pass,

Would her heart of glass,

Ache with desire,

Set her mind on fire?

Do our feelings link,

Pour out in a sink,

That collects and holds,

What we wish to unfold?

Do my eyes deceive,

Make my soul believe,

I will not find her,

And I’ll fade and blur?

Gasping for some air,

I want to be there,

Able to breathe free,

But with you, I’ll be.

Together we’ll hide,

With unbreakable stride;

We’re two girls in love,

Love handpicked above.

I will search and search,

Till together we perch,

Will see you, soul mate,

Our sweet love awaits.

(I know some lines break the meter but I love them too much 😭. Let me know what you think! )
