So scandalous, the way
you toss your laughter in the air,
letting rumors trip over themselves
trying to keep up
with your shine.
Scandalous
Month: January 2026
Square
Sides all equal to one another
Quadrilaterals that include squares.
Unchanging in shape,
Always precise,
Right‑angled and steady,
Even on every side.
Extra, Extra!
During the Meiji Restoration, the government enforced equality of the classes and the samurai class disappeared in Japan; many former samurai took on civil servant or teaching jobs, instead.

JusJoJan- Celebrate
We always remember to celebrate the big wins—graduations, promotions, milestones—but the small wins matter just as much. Finishing a tough week, making someone smile, or even just crossing something off your to-do list all deserve a little celebration. Those small victories add up and keep us going!
Song I Love
I absolutely love this song and can not get enough of its vocals by Amy Lee but the instrumentals are amazing as well.
“Hi-Lo”
I don’t know your heart
I don’t know where to begin
But I could feel you erasing the rivers I’d drawn in
The more I stood still
The faster you were running
You don’t know how it feels crawling under your skin
So far, so far away
Don’t you know we could be
High or low
You never fell beneath me
And I gave up on you, but I never forgot you
I can’t be your friend
Hold your hand while you bleed
There’s nothing left to give you
Nothing more I need
Time to let it sleep
Oh, the damage was real
But nothing cut me so deep I could not heal
Don’t you know we could be
High or low
You never fell beneath me
And I gave up on you, but I never forgot you
High or low
You never fell beneath me
And I gave up on you
But I never forgot
JusJoJan- Rubbish
Rubbish is such a great word—it makes even the most annoying stuff sound a little bit funny. Whether you’re talking about nonsense, a pile of clutter, or just a bad day, calling it rubbish somehow makes it easier to handle. Sometimes you just have to laugh and toss the rubbish aside!
Solution
Seeking a solution
to the impossible,
I learn to breathe
inside unanswered questions,
trusting that even uncertainty
can be a kind of direction.
Coupon
Clipping to save money, not time
Over‑priced items causing a money shortage
Under‑paid individuals struggling
Pinching pennies like it’s a competitive sport
Only to watch prices jump again tomorrow
Not that anyone raising them seems concerned
Distance
Distance is needed,
like air between notes of a song—
space to breathe, to grow strong.
It’s the quiet pause after laughter,
the gentle hush before dawn.
Distance is needed,
not absence, but room for the heart
to remember why it belongs.
With time and space, love deepens—
like roots stretching underground,
reaching for water, reaching for light,
returning, always, to where it feels right.
Essence of Love
Affection of longing is what I hold dearly
Bonding over many things in common
Cuddling offers comfort
Devotion to one another without changing who we are
Elevated heart rate whenever you are near
Falling deeply for the one who doesn’t want to change you
Giving you space when you need it
Honoring each other
Interest aligns in every way
Journey that we will take together
Kinder spirits in most everything
Loneliness is never the case
Memories created each day
Never wondering if they truly care
Open to each other’s opinions
Patience with one another
Quiet moments cherished just as much as the loud ones
Reminders of love shown in simple gestures
Support that never wavers, even on the hardest days
Trust built through honesty, patience, and time
Understanding each other’s hearts without needing many words
Valuing the bond we’ve nurtured together
Willing to grow side by side, always
Xenial warmth shared in every embrace
Yearning for a future filled with shared dreams
Zeal for a love that continues to deepen
Star
One
star
up high
twinkling
Seen by all around
Glowing gently in the velvet dark
Laughing Along with A Limerick
There once was a dog so polite,
Who insisted on dancing each night.
But his wiggles were bold,
And completely uncontrolled—
So the neighbors declared him a sight!
Hopeful
Honestly, I’m thrilled to wait again,
Obviously, patience is my strongest trait.
Please, take your time — I have nothing else to do.
Every delay just fills me with sunshine.
Funny how “soon” always means “never.”
Unrealistic expectations? No, not me.
Love how hope keeps tripping me on repeat.
JusJoJan- Symbiotic
The best relationships are symbiotic—each person growing stronger because the other exists.
