Everyday Superstar: Avri James

  "...I DO think, a man can Love one Woman, All of His Life, and be made the Better for it."                              ~D'Artagnan                                                       The Man In the Iron Mask I sat in my backyard; still; just reflecting...All in All, the Universe has been doing me right.  I'm happy everyday.  In the famous words of my girl Charlotte York, "Not all day everyday, but Everyday."   Sure, shit still happens, I'm just at Peace.  When uncomfortable things happen, I move through them with more grace and understanding.  Don't get it twisted, I still don't know what TF I'm doing😂  I just made the decision to Go with the flow, as opposed to moving against it.  Sitting here, in the sunlight, I was having a moment o...

  "I gave you all the Love I got, I gave you all that I could give, I gave you Love...This is No Ordinary Love, No Ordinary Love...and I'm Falling..."                                                     ~Sade Sometimes I get the feeling that the Universe utilizes our lives as it's sole source of entertainment.  When I look at the shit we keep being presented with on a daily basis, it's becoming more and more apparent that the Creator is using us for shits and giggles.  Have you ever had a scent take you some place?  They say that scent is the closest of our senses tied to memory.  It can trigger emotions, reminding us of a specific space in time.  With the slightest sniff, we are immediately transported to that place; perhaps even a person... I had just gotten out of the shower, eager to start my day by opening a fresh bottle of ...

  It's amazing how intoxicating Peace can be.  When I say that absolutely Nothing  was happening in my World-and I couldn't be happier.  My friends were currently tired of me dishing out the exact same advice, "be honest about how you feel" at the moment.  Eh, that's literally the root of every  single problem ya'll are currently facing.   My family had even gotten hip to the fact that I was no longer simply saying 'yes' to any and all requests, so they really didn't have shit to say to me😂.  People have a tendency to keep their distance-and their business to themselves if you're not vested in what they have going on; more so if you aren't miserable and willing to commiserate...I'm MORE than OK with that.  As the Summer crept on, I found it harder to sleep straight through the night.  This wasn't anything new, I sometimes experience a little seasonal insomnia from time to time.  It had just begun to rain as I opened my eyes....

"Why you take me up this high?  /Just to put a hole in my Parachute /So I would fall for you /And why you let us get this low? /When you know I'd give up my life for you /Ride and I'll die for you, I...Say do you remember? /Back when shit was good /2 kids in the night /We were so Alive..."                                                                                 Snoh Aalegra You know, we all talk endlessly about happiness; more specifically, what we need to achieve it.  In actuality, it's something that emanates from within.  There is not one thing outside of yourself that can contribute to your personal happiness in any way.  We obsess over the details of our lives in an attempt to place the blame of unrealized potential on anything  else...except You ...it's...

  It was just before dawn, and I was wide awake...Landon's words about learning one another played in my head like a verse on repeat; I couldn't stop thinking about them.  He was right; on sooo  many levels.  We had spent so much time building and maintaining our own individual identities, I didn't realize we had spent hardly any  on our collective one.  Landon and I had no idea how to be in an actual relationship with the adult versions of ourselves.  I mean, technically, we had One Summer-as children-that's it.  He and I had been separated for a long time; one that saw us transition from kids to adults.  When we came back together, we only focused on the things that remained the same; giving little to no regard for all the things that had changed.  In all actuality, neither one of us had any idea of what the adult versions of us were even really like... Come to think of it, I couldn't remember the last time we had spent an entire day t...

  " It's not that I don't want you here, It's something about the way you stare into my eyes/I know that I don't make things clear, I fall for you every time I try to resist you..."                                                  Snoh Aalegra~ I Want You Around The more I live, the more I realize that our intended purpose in this particular lifetime is to simply observe-especially when it comes to ourselves.  Life itself is a living, breathing entity with a mind of its own; determined to express its most authentic self...with little to no interference from me.  It's becoming obvious, painfully, at times, that it still  happens... Life , that is; whether you choose to engage or not.  I came to this conclusion when it came to other people rather quickly; understanding that they really don't care what you think, they are just looking for val...
