“ . . . forgive me if my past choices didn’t fit well with what has been taught to you and if my current reality appears to be “delusional”. We can never blame a blind eye for understanding our visions. It’s enough that we understand, and take great care of, our own.

Today, overthinking ends.
The delusion continues.
And the redemption begins.”

“Before my desire to write all of my thoughts down gets buried by the incessant survival tasks of each day - and be reduced to a trivial memory - let me run my gums over how intense our past couple of months have been . . .

From Schiaparelli; to the Louvre . . . to Le Galerie Dior,
From the meaningful; to the meaningless,
From all the highs; to all the lows,
From Earth; to Nirvana,
. . . “

“Do not stand at my grave and weep. I am not there. I did not die.”
- M. E. Frye (possibly)

I’ve been putting off uploading this open letter, or even just on this platform in general. Partly because Facebook is becoming irrelevant and misleading, or perhaps I just don’t have the “right energy”.
But since hell week is officially over and with the amount of genuine love this post received, after uploading it on my Instagram story a couple of days ago, I believe it’s best to just leave it here.

I was tagged by a lot of loving friends before I knew how I’ll wrap it.

In this black and white image, I celebrate not only the beauty of the Divine feminine in everyone but also the special arrival on Earth of the incredibly powerful source of feminine energy in my life.
Back when I was living in the hopes of it all, your voice remains in my head - rooting for what I then forgot as my potential; my truth.

I celebrate your life; your Being.
Our time; our moments.
I celebrate your power;
your conviction.
Our plans and aspirations.
We take pride in treasuring the present, the past;
the unfolding events ahead,
But mostly I rest in blissful surrender with all that you had taught me instead.

In the profound words of a sage:
”Life is a stage, honey. A performance. A drag...
Some tried to be educated and become doctors of all endeavors.
Some pretend to care for justice and become lawyers.
Some rehearsed to bother in creating better lives for others and become philanthropists.
Some pretend to see a different hue of value in existence and claim to be artists, designers of human experience.”

I wonder what the next act will be? I better read my own lines carefully so I won’t miss a thing. taken in Washington D. C. by @andrebaybay

Banksy made us aware that we all have our own ways of engaging proactively. As Lady Sybil Crawley put it, “Doing nothing is the enemy.” Will it be enough, then? Guess, time will tell.
May we truly live in interesting times.

And since then, June has been my renaissance month of each year.
To the only man whom I truly owe a lot from, I stan. Words will never suffice.

Just a friendly reminder that no one has any idea what the f*ck is happening or what we should do about it...
If there’s one thing we know for certain about this pandemic, it’s that we know almost nothing for certain about this pandemic...
We are almost blind here. And even if we could see the trade-offs clearly, we still wouldn’t agree on what is ethical and appropriate. We would simply muddle on, each individually making the best of the terrible situation, each blindly believing they are right and just in their intuitions...
So, let go of the fight. Focus on yourself. Focus on your loved ones. And assume the worst. Assume nothing - not the virus, nor the economic downturn - is going to get resolved any time soon. That way, you will be prepared - mentally, emotionally, financially, and physically- for all possible scenarios. And if things turn out okay sooner than you thought, all the better...
We should reserve judgement about these things. Especially online when we’re all coming from different places globally, politically, culturally, etc. And it’s in these moments, when I find myself getting sucked into my emotions, or climbing up onto my high horse of social media judgements, that I remind myself: I don’t know a damn thing. And neither do you.

”Fear is a universal experience. Even the smallest insects feel it. It’s not a terrible thing that we feel fear when faced with the unknown. It’s part of being alive, something we all share... We react against the possibility of loneliness, of death, of not having anything to hold on to. Fear is a natural reaction to moving closer to the truth.

If we commit ourselves to stay right where we are, then our experiences become very vivid. Things become very clear when there is nowhere to escape.”

Three points: Neutral, simple, humble spaces are what help us to focus. We crave luxury, but it’s a motivational sedative. The mind wants to wander. Keep it on track by eliminating sidetracks.
