#Follow The Light

[teathattast]

All the shadows that I follow in the night

Like a willow running wild in my mind

It carries me now 'cause I follow the light

I follow the light

I see it in your eyes, I follow the light, I follow the light

To get me through the night

WATCHING AND DREAMING

"Turn on the Light"

Nothing lasts forever, but knowing that the owl house is ending hurts me deeply. I'm so grateful for this show and the fandom. <3 I'm ready for the finale!

Shared scars-

Shared scars are the light house

For others who will hit the same rock i have

The iceberg sank the titanic was a warning

To all boats who travel so they too do not sink

For boats only sink from water within

And water is not always a healing 'friend'

Lighthouses don't wonder if they are right

They don't force you to listen

They shed light on the hidden

So you can maintain corse in the dark.

A little joy.

So, maybe we start by recognizing that Jonah Nilsson sounds like Michael Jackson (Quincy Jones-approved, mind you) and is a fantastic jazz-inflected keyboardist. Aron Mellergård is an unbelievable drummer, funky as hell, both technical and totally in the pocket.

As a bassist, I don't even know what to say about Henrik. He has the whole bag. He has a really expansive feel but also the Stu Hamm right/left/right ghost notes that lock everything in. And then that preposterous bass solo, where he channels Tom Morello, throws in some Gary Willis fingerstyle, and then gives you licks out of the Marcus Miller and Victor Wooten catalogs, with the double-thumbing, sweeping, and triplet hammer-ons/offs. Unbelievable.

With Cory Wong and the horns, you have this really nice, updated Quincy Jones-type sound, leaning over toward Snarky Puppy. If you aren't smiling from ear to ear when this song is over, you are wired differently than I am.

Suffering in Silence

A lot of us as in an impeccable amount of us have grown comfortable in our sadness, anger, and feeling defeat. When the truth is that this is a form of long term suicide. So I am here to tell you right now to reach out without expecting anything back and to allow yourself to create a safe space for practice self loving habits, regardless if people respond or not. This is for you ! Write out wtf you need and be honest. Speak out loud to the universe and your environment whether it is just you in that moment or other people around you. Do this as often as you need to, to call in the answers you've been yearning for this whole time consciously and subconsciously. Nobody's feelings are more important than the other. Reach out to me personally if you have to. But NO MORE SUFFERING IN SILENCE. I REPEAT NO MORE SUFFERING IN SILENCE. YOU DON'T NEED TO RESIST WHAT IS IN ALIGNMENT OF GROWING YOU . YOU DON'T NEED TO FEAR THESE LAWS, THESE COMPANIES, YOUR FAMILIES, YOUR ENVIRONMENT OR YOURSELF! ESPECIALLY NOT YOURSELF. YOUR TRUE GIFTS WANT TO BE GIFTING DIVINELY SO ALLOW YOURSELF TO LEARN HOW TO LEARN. IT'S NECESSARY FOR YOU TO HAVE THOUGHTS OF GOING BACK IN TIME TO DO THINGS DIFFERENTLY. NOT FOR YOU TO FEEL SHITTY ABOUT YOURSELF, BUT YOUR YOU TO INNER STAND THAT YOU CAN NOT BLAME YOURSELF FOR LEARNING HOW TO LEARN. BUT YES, YOU WILL HAVE MANY MOMENTS WHERE YOU FEEL OVERWHELMED AND WANT TO END IT ALL, BUT YOU WON'T AND THE TRUTH WILL BEOMCE CLEARER AND EVEN CLEARER AS YOU EVOLVE. If you are blaming yourself ask out loud for help to get to the root of where and when this habit began and pay attention to what areas it evolved negatively but may have been disguised as something positive overtime. This is your self awarness becoming actively stronger. Everybody is an experience including you. How have you been experiencing yourself. It doesnt matter just how dark you go, the point is to go back and realign with the light the was guiding this whole time before many created worlds placed a blindfold on you. These blindfolds you allowed to exist were taught to you before you knew better. This is called programming. But im sure you knew that. I love you and heal now.
