Profanity cracks
through the calm of my own mind,
truth with jagged edges.

JusJoJan- Philosophy
Philosophy was tough for me in college because it always felt like there were a hundred different answers to every question—and none of them were quite right! I’d leave class with my head spinning, wondering if I even knew what a chair was anymore. It was a real mental workout, for sure.
JusJoJan Nature
“We generate fears while we sit. We overcome them by action. Fear is nature’s way of warning us to get busy.” – Dr. Henry Link

Director David Lynch, born on January 20th, 1946, attended the inauguration of John F Kennedy in 1961 when he was fifteen. Along with hundreds of other Boy Scouts. Lynch saw Kennedy, along with outgoing President Dwight D. Eisenhower and future presidents Richard Nixon and Lyndon B. Johnson, as their limos drove by. “I realized I saw four consecutive presidents in that short amount of time, 10 inches from my face,” he told Scouting magazine in 2017.

“It is during our darkest moments that we must focus to see the light.” — Aristotle
JusJoJan- Unspoken
Funny how the most meaningful things can stay unspoken. A quick glance, a shared laugh, or just sitting together in silence—sometimes those unspoken moments say everything we need. It’s pretty cool how much we can share without ever saying a word.
Mutuality in Us All
You know the answers
Go ahead and blurt them out
Help many others
Sharing knowledge brings us close
Together we learn and grow

Quote for January 24, 2026
“People tell you the world looks a certain way. Parents tell you how to think. Schools tell you how to think. TV. Religion. And then, at a certain point, if you’re lucky, you realize you can make up your own mind. Nobody sets the rules but you. You can design your own life.”— Carrie Ann Moss
JustJoJan- Arms
In your arms, the world grows quiet,
storms hush and shadows part.
Safety blooms, gentle and silent,
a tender shield around my heart.
Here worries soften, fears disarm—
there’s nowhere safer than your arms.
JusJoJan Magnify
The scientist used a microscope to magnify the tiny specimen.
Generous
Giving without needing applause,
Every gesture softens the world a little more.
Nurturing hope in places that feel forgotten,
Easing burdens, you may never see.
Radiating warmth in quiet, steady ways,
Offering kindness like second nature,
Uplifting hearts simply by being present,
Showing that compassion is a form of courage.
Swaying Breeze
The gently swaying breeze brings peace within,
Sending little goosebumps dancing on your skin.
It carries you away
To another time of day,
And every single moment feels like a win.

The largest crowd ever assembled to watch a wrestling event was in Pyongyang, North Korea, in 1995. It’s estimated that more than 300,00+ people attended the two-day event, but that probably wasn’t because of some latent love for sports entertainment in the isolated nation. As professional wrestler Scott Norton told Sports Illustrated, his limo driver clued in the American on what made the event so popular: attendance was mandatory.

“Some women choose to follow men, and some choose to follow their dreams. If you’re wondering which way to go, remember that your career will never wake up and tell you that it doesn’t love you anymore.” — Lady Gaga
