I've been hiding out.
Hope you all come see.


Everybody,
I'd like you all to make a promise to yourself in honor of every beautiful potentiality in the world:

Live with intention.
Live with your eyes open,
never stop looking;
never stop listening, seeing.



Above all,
do not be afraid.



There are wings
waiting in the wings for you.
Blood, emptiness, hurt--
it doesn't last.

There are things that do last,
and they are worth waking up for, even if you don't know what they are just yet. They'll get to you.
Just keep believing in your own hands; they'll thank you later.

"j0iedevivre"
means "joy of life" or "joy to live", etc, in French.
It is a very specific dawn in my life right now,
and I chose this name completely on purpose.


Keep living, people.
There are miracles.
god, how I have lived them,
how I am living them, how I will keep living because of them.


I thought it would only be art and loneliness for the rest of my life. I was ready for black holes. I begged for them to bring it on, to take me, to try and bring me down. I was ready to be alone forever. I was ready to go on and keep loving you while crying in thunderstorms, I was ready to ignore phone calls and smile at strangers; letting my real friends in scared the hell out of me because I couldn't bear to be that vulnerable. Maybe I couldnt bear to be that okay.
What I found out, was that the person I was trying to hide from could find me in the darkest room, on the darkest night, in the darkest parts of myself, and bring me into the light where all we could do was not look away.


What I didn't expect
was to be found by the only soul to ever brush mine.
But you have found me, Eric;
and I have found you back.

I didn't expect to live like this,
but something changes when you let lies break.


Actually, everything changes.


I love you.






Excruciating, delicious joy,
Danica Paige
