Life as Art and Breaking Free

“Stand boldly at the cross roads and make an art of it.”

Your life is your art. Your reality is your escape.

You get to wake up and decide who it is you will serve, what it is you will serve. I often lean toward the things that set my soul on fire. I’ve been quite sleepy for while. A bit of a bore cooped up in the desire to get paid. I can’t serve that master. If there’s one thing I learned over these past two years it is that I was meant for something different.

And now, I’m feeling restless. I’m feeling ready to break some glass windows. I want to hear them shatter across the ground. But to be clear, they must be useless windows, not windows anyone would ever have to pay for. I want to feel the breeze while staring up at the full moon. I want to be chin deep in a hot tub and spill secrets between kisses. I was not designed for the rigid 9 to 5. That shit shriveled up my soul and hung it out dry. For me, 9 to 5’s are a slow erosion. So slow, in fact, that I barely noticed my soul went missing.

What do you love about being alive?

Jayne is a writer. On her free time she likes to be with her family hiking outdoors and traveling. New England is her home and place of birth. When asked what she wants to teach the world she replied, "Don't stop searching. Too many times, in my old life, I put my search aside for more 'important matters.' I didn't realize the thing I was searching for held what was most important; my soul purpose." Jayne works daily on improving her craft and at times can get down on herself, but her favorite morning mantra is "It's a new day." and that's what she strives to start with.
