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!

If someone tries to be rude or freaky to me in my asks, I’m going to give them a “soul reading”, which is a photo of what I think their soul looks like 😋
Opinion on the hit game series the legend of zelda?
I think it’s pretty cool! I don’t know too much about any of the games tbh, but maybe I’ll play them or watch gameplay videos of them soon!
(Watching the gameplays online most likely what I’ll do because OML THEY ARE EXPENSIVE- 💀🙏🏾)
WAIT HOLY SHIT YOU LIKE PULSES.?? i’ve literally never met anyone who knows them they’re actually so good, plus they’re from nova
THEY’RE GREAT OMG; I RECENTLY STARTED GETTING INTO THEIR MUSIC! I don’t listen to metal too much, but it’s always fun to listen to them! And it’s something about where their from too made me more interested to listen to them lol ✨
(An acrostic poem I made a while ago. Let me know your thoughts!)
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.

``The greed for external validation, the maddening hunger for the slices of praise that never fill yet never satisfy the void within you, weakens the ultimate need to look at yourself in the mirror and say; "I shall love myself for as long as I live, for outside praise is fragile and fleeting, but the strength to validate myself at my best and at my worst is what shall keep my going." For as long as you drink from sweet yet empty words with those hardened hands of yours, you shall never truly have the ability to thrive on your own time and will only survive as a section in their schedule.``
