Spoken word on aging! From a 28 year old.

2024/12/9 Edited to

... Read moreAging is often perceived negatively in modern society, especially as beauty standards evolve. Many young individuals grapple with the concept of aging and how it affects their identity. This piece sheds light on the emotional and social narratives tied to aging, emphasizing the wisdom and grace that can accompany the process. The spoken word format serves as a powerful medium for expressing personal truths, allowing the author to share poignant reflections that resonate with many. As we confront our own aging, discussions around these topics can foster acceptance and encourage dialogue around the beauty of the aging process. Through engaging with #aging, #beautystandards, and #spokenpoetry, readers can access broader conversations and insights that challenge stereotypes and embrace the richness of life experiences. Understanding aging as a natural aspect of life can be liberating, opening channels for self-expression and connection in a world often focused on youth. Embracing one’s own journey can inspire others, leading to a more inclusive dialogue about beauty and worth at every life stage.

Soft-spoken. Sharp-souled.
They call us quiet. But our silence isn't emptiness it's where we sharpen our souls. We watch. We listen. We feel everything before it's spoken. We are softness wrapped in precision, whispers that cut cleaner than noise. We don't need volume to be felt. We were made for

A person with dreadlocks, dressed in a simple garment, holds their hands together with blue smoke emanating, illustrating the power of spoken word in magic. The text reads 'THE POWER OF THE SPOKEN WORD IN MAGIC' with 'LucidAndWild' and 'Lemon8 @lucidandwild' branding.

The image displays the beginning of a diary entry dated November 15, 2024, at 11:47 PM. The text describes feelings of being in a dark place, questioning isolation, acknowledging a higher being, and expressing fear of oneself.
The image shows a continuation of the diary entry, where the author questions their own potential and spark, expresses fear of taking risks, and reflects on how others perceive them as passionate and strong, while admitting their emotions scare them.
The image presents another section of the diary entry, discussing common criticisms like 'You're too much,' the conflict between faith and personal desires, acknowledging hypocrisy, and the struggles with depression and anxiety.

A book cover titled "MOJO WORKIN': The Old African American Hoodoo System" by Katrina Hazzard-Donald. It displays illustrations of Hoodoo-related items such as bath salts, oils, "Paket Kongo" objects, and a cassette tape, along with prices and promotional text like "Come See Me Your Spiritual Supplies."
A Spoken Practice
Hoodoo is very much a spoken practice so if you did not grow up in a practicing household it can be quite challenging to learn on your own. But AJ (my name), there are plenty of books out here on Hoodoo. Sure there are, there are also plenty of translations of the Bible and fiction novels as well.

A graphic featuring cartoon sea creatures (starfish, dolphin, turtle, manatee, seahorses, clam, crab, jellyfish) surrounding the central text "YOU CAN BE A KIND PERSON AND STILL". Each creature is paired with a phrase like "Say NO," "Set boundaries," or "Stick up for yourself," illustrating that kindness doesn't mean being a pushover.
Kind, Not Soft-Spoken for Everyone 💪🏽💖
Being kind doesn’t mean being walked over. 💗🚫 You can lead with love and still hold firm. You can be soft and still have a spine. True kindness includes boundaries, self-respect, and knowing when to say no without guilt. 💬🧘🏽‍♀️🛑 You’re allowed to protect your energy and still wish others well
