⋆✴︎˚｡⋆ Cleansing. ⋆✴︎˚｡⋆

Breathing in,

Breathing out,

I discard doubts,

Shut them out.

Meditated,

Breath not baited,

Crystal shards,

Relieve my scars.

Scenic view,

Drips like dew,

I can breathe,

I can see.

Floats like magic dust,

Holding on, I must,

Peace injected in,

A warm bath, I swim.

Elements tune it out,

The world, my fear, my doubts,

I forget as birds sing,

This, dear, is my cleansing.

I don't want to die. 😥

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!

Writing Advice for Brainstorming

Mix genres and time periods: Experiment by combining elements from different eras or genres to create unique settings and narratives.

Use "what if" scenarios: Pose unexpected questions (e.g., What if time travel operated on emotions rather than mechanics?) to spark novel ideas.

Draw from diverse mediums: Engage with art, music, or even scientific papers to inspire unexpected plot twists.

Embrace absurdity: Let illogical or surreal ideas guide you; sometimes the wildest thoughts lead to compelling stories.

Reverse clichés: Identify common tropes in your favorite genres and deliberately invert them to create fresh perspectives.

Incorporate personal anomalies: Transform your idiosyncrasies and personal struggles into rich, multi-dimensional characters.

Use mind-mapping: Visually plot your ideas in a freeform way to uncover hidden connections between disparate elements.

Franz Kafka, 1912

🫶🏾✨

``I'd rather dance with passion then walk with conformity. I'd rather laugh like a maniac and live through the hard times and live an "impossible" life, then to never smile at all and never know what it's like to even try. I'd rather people see me as this passionate, full-of-life, crazy and determined person than to be another statistic in the sea of expectations. I'd rather try to leave the world in better shape before, even just a little, for the next generation to come than to drown in the sea of pessimism and doubt. Sure, things may seem sucky, but if you take the first step, who is to say a domino effect cannot take place?``

-A random little paragraph I came up with! We all need a little hope every now and then, don't we?:)

Love Phrases.

(I don’t like this one as much as my other poems, but I wanted to share it anyways!)

‘Phrases’ only you and I know,

That make our affection unique,

They make our fondness flourish, grow,

They make our love oh so mystique.

‘I love you’ is in our touches,

Even when times are warm or cold,

In each nuzzle, in our cluctches,

The greatest way to love untold.

‘I do care’ is in our sweet moments,

When we share sun and moon together,

A medley of loving components,

Affix themselves to us forever.

‘Stay with me’ is in our eyes,

Brimming with tears, stress or gleams,

The corner of our lips rise,

We’ll feel like we’re in a dream.

Phrases only you and I know,

That make our affection unique,

A language never filled with woe,

Words to each other we will speak.

Babe, we have guests; bring out the fine china ✨

Sweet spring

Sunshine blooms and visits longer,

Winter slush cowers in its presence,

Every inhale contains pollen and petals,

Every glance is vibrant with reviving life,

Times haven’t been so graceful. (except for in fall too)

Sunshine awakens the asleep in the land,

Pressuring them to frolic once more,

Ravishing butterflies float, flutter,

In April, nature showers its garden,

Natural rebirth floods to great heights,

Greetings again, sweet spring.

‧₊˚❀༉‧₊˚.

I wanna have a picnic with someone here! ✨
