you are the light


“You are the light.
It’s not on you.
It’s in you.
Don’t ever you in your life, dim your light for nobody.”
- St. Chroma, Tyler, the Creator

Tyler, the Creator’s new album starts with this message from his mother, who acts as his guide throughout the album.

It’s an excellent message for all of us to remember because maybe we’re in a position where light seems to be shining on us, or we’re chasing others who we think have light shining on them. We need to remember that the light is within us, so we don’t need to ever worry about losing it or needing to chase it—it’s already here.

We just need to find it within and let it shine.


See you tomorrow and keep pursuing,

But, as I reread it, I saw it through the lens of Fisher: the love I receive from others is a mirror of the love I have for my Self. I cannot receive love...

A stream of consciousness that occurred this morning in the shower: You don’t have to know your future. Directionally, you can have an idea of where you want to go, but you don’t have to know exactly. You can’t know. There will be events, people, and new ideas that happen between now and then, which will change what is possible and what you desire. Focus on the now. What is your heart telling you to do now? Where is your intuition guiding you? Do that. Explore that. Be that. Then continue to...
