JJ's Year of Coming of Age: Day- 149 - Life is Like a Box of Chocolates...I'm Gonna Fight for the Turtles. (I Like Turtles)

"Dare to love yourself
as if you were a rainbow
with gold at both ends."
-Aberjhani

you have to...must got to...please need should...dire imperative burden heavy...
pertinent...can..will...shall...
believe in yourself...

There's going to be wolves...
there's going to be demons...
there's going to be haters...
that will all tell you that you aren't good enough
that you can't do it without whatever you seem to be missing at the moment...
that you aren't enough...
they will sneer at you...they will envy you...they will even hate you...
then smile in your face,

and then there's you...
wishing for others' sparkly "dazzling thing-a-mabob" or "gee-whiz wallah-kazam" that you've convinced yourself that if only you had...you'd be so much farther,..so much better...
struggling to keep your eyes on your own paper...like the anxiety riddled 4.0 student that doubts her answer on a mid-term...so much to lose...if you cheat,
they probably don't have the right answer for your test anyway...
remember the teacher alternates versions by rows...so...
focus on your own more-than-enough abilities...
if you make a mistake...it's a lesson...and a blessin' to behold. It'll pay off someday.

But you ain't sweatin none of that...
why? cuz you're fly...
you're on top of all this...
tell failure, fear, trepidation, depression, anxiety, and doubt you've got some grits they can kiss...

you are all the affirmation that you need...
you are all the affirmation that matters...
you know...that knowing...that glowing ball of desirous, glorious pain-joy-hope that pushes you, even when you are road-weary and feel that you can't go on...when tears cling to your eyelashes...and sobs bury themselves in the cave of your heart.
Its that self-powering pulsating orb of succor that wakes you up in the middle of the night, and when it doesn't stir you... it still invades your deepest REM cycle...whispering "I think I can...I think I can...I think I can" to every firing synapses of your brain...
Your  inner-most dreams and visions are woven between the helixes of your DNA...it's your purpose that is ancient and stamped on your eternity...in the time before time...

you cant give up
you wont give up
you SHALL NOT give up...

you are stupendous
you are most magniferous
you are super magnanimous...lavishly opulent...resplendently sublime...
you are clothed in a copious superabundance of favor, blessing, benevolence, and grace,
THIS is your time...

You've got this...
YOU'VE GOT THIS...
this is bigger than you...
embrace your whyfor...that's what its there for...
and don't you ever...dare...never...let it go.

JJ's YEAR OF DESTINY DAY 5- Divorce is of the Devil...

"You don't know how "one" you've really become- until you're ripped apart.  Divorce is of the devil... I wish it on no one...ever."  -jj thames. Not in the mood to face the world today. so I won't. my bed is my solace... listening to my new record, tightening up arrangements, listening for more possibilities- soothes my angst. this divorce stuff irks my soul... one or two days- I barely think about it. next day...I feel like I've been hit by a bullet train at maximum speed- and just want to lay in my darkened bedroom and look at the ceiling. No tmusic, no TV...just me...my bed...and the ceiling. Sleep usually eventually welcomes me. But, then there's the dreams- and waking again to the pain. I feel like a part of me has died. It's a strange kind of pain... its a numbing abiding pain...like an irritating itch deep in your soul that you really have no kind of way to scratch. You just have to talk about it, and su...

Jj's Year of Coming Of Age: Day 152- Spillin' the Tea -Part 3- Chronicles of the Sidechick Wife...Not a Typo.

livid, adj . [Screw] you for cheating on me. [Screw] you for reducing it to the word cheating. As if this were a card game, and you sneaked a look at my hand. Who came up with the term cheating , anyway? A cheater, I imagine. Someone who thought liar was too harsh. Someone who thought devastator was too emotional. The same person who thought, oops, he's gotten caught with his hand in the cookie jar . [Screw] you. This isn't about slipping yourself an extra twenty dollars of Monopoly money. These are our lives. You went and broke our lives. You are so much worse than a cheater. You killed something. And you killed it when its back was turned" -David Levithan, The Lover's Dictionary I'm gonna get back to my Asperger's list tomorrow...but, I had something really interesting happen today...and I want to talk to ya'll about it... I've got a question for you... "Would you stay with your man if he cheated on you, and a baby was conce...

JJ's Year of Destiny- Day 273: It All Comes Back Full Circle

"You and I  have defied and defined time  to realign right here where we stand look in my eyes, there's someone waiting there someone you loved oh so very well.  through ages and eons  from creation to revelation  I've loved you over and over and over and over again  from plantations through elevation  royal thrones and abdications  our souls search and find  repair the breach and mend. you are my all in all  I'll always find you no matter how far we are  you are my all in all I'll always find my way back to you, my love  no matter how far we are all in all"  -jj thames so...this thing called "adulting"... I'on like it...i'on like it, not one bit. I feel like being in your 30's is like being a teenager all over again, like its the adolescent years of adulthood, except with responsibilities hanging over your head... you have the breaking up or distancing of friendships. (ofte...
