    Show me the world seen from the stars. Life here is too small and dysfunctional. It must be peaceful up in the sky.

  • Jordyn commented on the post, spa 9 months, 1 week ago

    I don’t like this word. It reminds me of pampered rich folk who sit around all day on an island with cucumbers in their eyes. With nothing better to do. I’m sure it’s relaxing, and they deserve some “me” time, but […]

  • Jordyn commented on the post, backspace 1 year, 1 month ago

    There is no backspace bar for life, unfortunately. But, I suppose, it’s for the best, because we can’t move forward when we’re still dwelling on the past. Yes, you make mistakes and have regrets, but don’t we all? […]

  • Jordyn wrote about the word return 1 year, 6 months ago

    On Saturday, normal life will return. I’m going home, after three months of living in a dream. This dream world in London, one of the most thrilling cities on planet Earth, will be but a memory.

    “It’s a mystery,” he said.
    “What is?”

    My life. My home. Where I go. Beauty is all around me, in every setting. Sometimes you need to see through the concrete and dust to find it, but it’s there. Giving everyone hope of love and life.
