find some meaning.

Sometimes the best friends we have are the last people we thought would end up in our lives.
I recently got back in touch with a friend from high school, and while we got along well then, and had mutual interests (such as they are when you’re 16), I had some reservations about renewing the friendship. [...]

tomorrow.

tomorrow is always too late. what is wrong with today? we need to learn to take action & chase feelings the second we feel them. let’s stop putting things off. what is the point? why do we put things off? there is really no reason. what holds us back? is it fear? lack of time? [...]

ghost.

sometimes when things stop making sense it’s best to slowly remove yourself from everything & become a secret little ghost. unplugging your phone, leaving the internet, refusing to speak. you can drift through your days in a fog & not think much about anything because thinking would lead to too many things & your frail [...]

There is love all around us:

Love is everywhere.
Please keep your eyes open.
Even in elevators, bakeries, and bathroom stalls–people are intent on spreading messages of love and joy.
Please leave messages of joy for others to find.
Please spread love, publicly or privately.
A note, a flower, a song.

EVERYTHING IS BEAUTIFUL.

oceans of fears.

we’ve got to change we’ve got to grow we’ve got to throw our fears away? what use are fears? most of them at least. they hold us back. are you afraid to love? why? are you afraid of getting your heart broken? (IT WILL HEAL IT WILL.) are you afraid to make friends? why? are [...]

what are big girls made of?

The construction of a woman:
a woman is not made of flesh
of bone and sinew
belly and breasts, elbows and liver and toe.
She is manufactured like a sports sedan.
She is retooled, refitted and redesigned
every decade.
Cecile had been seduction itself in college.
She wriggled through bars like a satin eel,
her hips and ass promising, her mouth pursed
in the dark [...]

love & beauty with dallas clayton!

what makes you feel wonderful?
My son , My friends , meeting new people , having new experiences
if you are having a sub-par day, what do you do &/or say to make yourself feel good again?
It doesn’t take much, maybe just look up at the sky or out at the city and realize how little control [...]

direct connect.

one of the most important things in a person’s life is positive physical contact. whether it be a long hug from an old friend or new mate, intertwining fingers with the one you touch noses with, touching noses with someone, or even just a brush past the person your heart beat for it can change [...]

we might as well love ourselves.

write your story now.

every day you get another chance to write your story. you get add the characters, you get to decide the plot. who will you write in? who will you write out? yes it’s important to have a good cast of characters & of course you’ll want your foils but try not to create any villains. [...]

say it.

did you say it? ‘i love you. i don’t ever want to live without you. you changed my life.’ did you say it? make a plan. set a goal. work toward it, but every now and then, look around; drink it in ’cause this is it. it might all be gone tomorrow.

wake up!

“waking up is not a selfish pursuit of happiness,
it is a revolutionary stance, from the inside out,
for the benefit of all beings in existence.”
noah levine

dear you, keep in touch.

what do you do if your best friend moves to a new town, state country? what do you do if the person who makes your soul glow is miles & miles & miles away (oh & even if they’re not!)
1. letters upon letters upon letters. nothing is better (as we at yar certainly believe) than [...]

love is rebellion.

Sometimes you look outside and all you see is grey, sometimes you wonder if you’re sick inside, if all that trash on the side of the road is seeping into you and making your head hurt. Migraines are just a symptom, just veins constricting and making the edges of your vision blur. Taking pills doesn’t [...]

hide & seek.

everyone is so busy hiding behind this tred or that one. their internet personality, their favourite scene. what’s so wrong with being messy & laughing until your lungs hurt? why is that not cool? why is that not something we photograph & if it does per chance get photographed we immediately de-tag ourselves or throw [...]

april showers.

spring has sprung. the lion has lost to the lamb. the days are getting longer. the earth is turning green. it’s time to lay on your back & make shapes out of the bright white clouds. it’s time to grab your instruments & make silly music on the sidewalk. it’s time to call your friends [...]
