It's Wednesday let's write it...
Man, I've lived in Tokyo three months now! What an adjustment and I'm still honestly adjusting, which is normal. It's the end of the year and I find myself wanting to slow down a lot while also having a lot in motion to begin 2025 in the ways God has told me to. I've been working on some things it's truly time to release. Release is always, a thing. I won't say hard, I'll just say a thing.
I'm hungry for so much. For example, I'm physically hungry right now because I haven't eaten since lunch (lol) I'm also hungry from the manifestation of the things God has shown me in my minds eye regarding my life, career, and family... I'm in no rush.. and as Jekalynn Carr says "cuz I feel in the Spirit, it's manifestation time."
Man... reading a few books right now. Three to be exact. Taking 11 classes. American semester concludes this week, thank God. 4.0 still in tact. Japanese break in 2.5 weeks, needed. Besties begin turning thirty soon and not being able to be there is definitely hurting my heart, honestly I think it's piercing a bit deeper than the holidays. I think birthdays are the original holidays, truly.
Anywho, I've been doing well. Rough and well. Day by day and worthy. Calm and again, hungry. There are some things that December seems to have brought, a calmness in regards to relationships and where they fall... I think after three months, Sober girl Fall as I call it, there's not really any grieving left for me in that department... it all simply is what it is. Grateful for the ones I talk to weekly and pour in. Grateful to know who isn't/won't and to not love them any less, just to know.
Money... why money unless you're rich as fuck always get a lil funny round holiday time no matter how much you say it won't? lmao Idk man! Reminder it's a blessing to pay all your bills and have money left over for your wants.. you got that, you batting a thousand.
I've been eating in.. it's been helping my skin here and also just, my creative mind. Cooking fuels and restores me in ways that I didn't have the language for now... it's restorative, and fueling. And I appreciate and enjoy taking the steps necessary to nourish myself. The kitchen is a place where I don't think much, and when I do it's simply out of play. I'm willing to take risks, because if it sucks, I'm still gone eat (even if not what I made) however, I've gotten so great at cooking that there isn't really a time where this happens. All that means is it's time for some new recipes :)
I appreciate that I'm willing to eat things as they are. I think it's a reflection of my life. I like my body the way it is, that doesn't mean I don't nourish and strengthen it and sometimes make changes. I like my mind the way it is, that doesn't mean I don't feed it new things. I like carrots, as they are.. that doesn't mean sometimes I don't add sesame oil or salt. You get the idea.
Anywho, with one of my current reads with my bestie nourishing your creativity and your soul has been and is at the forefront and damnit, I'm hungry so I'm happy to hear it. I'm so good at it in real time, I'm excited to apply that to the spiritual and creative career and life that I'm cultivating... so.. in the words of Glo, figuratively and literally because I need to eat and it's 9PM... "LET HER COOK"
3 months... mindblowing. Happy holiday season lovers, it's still in the 50s and 60s here in Tokyo and THAT I'm grateful for, as fuck lol. Chicago I hear it's been low, God bless.
Until next time, with all of my love,
Mrs. Jasmin Dominique Taylor
