Joy is like a one night stand.

ByDominee

I’d love for you to join the tribe of Wishcasters. Every Wednesday we flock to our blogs, we answer a question, and then we all visit each other and leave a comment like “As you wish for yourself, so I wish for you as well.” It’s a great way to connect, to share, and to bring our wishes one step closer to manifesting. Today we are asked: What do you wish to jump into?

I wish to jump into joy.

You see, I have many relationships. For example, for a long time Anxiety and I were best friends, attached at the hip we were. We still hang out from time to time, but not as much as we used to. Depression and I have one of those relationships where you break up and then get back together a few months later, you know the type. We get together less often now, but he’s still around. Happiness and I are getting acquainted, hanging out more and more, I quite like her. Joy however…

Joy is like a one night stand.

We get together, have a great time, and then joy leaves. I don’t get too attached, after all, what’s the point? It won’t stay.

Honestly, I never ask it to, never expect it to. I don’t allow myself to immerse myself in that relationship. I want to change that. I still distance myself from “happy” emotions. It’s still new to me, still something that I am discovering. A path that is overgrown with foliage but one I am excited to try to navigate. I’m still afraid to let those emotions really get to me, afraid that Depression and Anxiety will show up and snatch Happiness and Joy away.

I wish to jump into joy, jump into emotions and allow myself to have an experience with them, feel them fully, immerse myself in them, and not be afraid of them.

A live-in-the-moment kinda thing.

Happy wishing!

  15. Dominee,  You bring joy into my life each wednesday when I look forward to reading your inspirational words… I read somewhere last week- "try to live to Love"… the rest will find you.
    Those of us that read your blog weekly lets just say a minium of 15 of us x 52 weeks = 780 times a year we experiance Joy  in our hearts to read your words.  

  23. I really, really, hope so. I'm starting to feel like it's finally time, that I'm finally in a place where I can accept the gift of joy and not feel unworthy.

  24. Such a lovely, beautiful, heart warming, soul-filling, comment. Thank you so much. I love that I can give joy and inspiration and receive it in return. Love to you!! 

  29. Tehehehe, I'm glad it had that effect! I was giggling as I was writing it. Sometimes the way my brain works amuses and amazes me! Thank you! I'm working on that whole trusting-in-the-Universe thing, but I think I know it will work out, as long as I let it and don't get in my own way!

  31. 'Joy is like a one night stand' love that!  I so remember feeling that way when I picked 'Joy' as my word of the year a couple years back.  It was so scrumptious for me to develop a relationship with joy I hope it's the same for you.  As you wish for yourself, so I wish for you as well!

  32. This is an amazing post.  And I can relate to your relationships with anxiety and joy.  As you wish for yourself, so I truly wish for you also.

  35. This had me giggling – sorry for the delay.  Work caught up with me yesterday.  So, I hope Thursday's blessings still count!  :)
    As you wish for yourself, I wish for you also!

  36. Hi Dominee,
    I love the way you presented the different emotions as being relationships. It's a good way to look at them. And the least we can say is that some of them are more toxic than others! Tnaks for your comment on my blog.
    I send you sunshine from Bordeaux.
    As you wish for yourself, I wish for you too.

    I wish for joy to be a thing of total ease – as in – here it is: JOY – weeee – effortless. 

    I wish for joy to be the moment, feeling, sensation that you awaken to and fall asleep into. mmmm.Your posts are always so uplifting and honest Dominee. Thank you!
