Flowing Through December Yet Closing It Out

Abundant Greetings to my jutterflies, no matter if you are reading this sunup, midsun, or sundown,

So happy to be able to be publishing another entry; possibly the one before the last of December and for the year of 2021. I have my newest record playing (Fleetwood Mac: Rumours) partnered with my diffuser, which is pushing out Crown, Heart, and Root chakra oils throughout my space. I originally wanted to get an entry in for the beginning of December, but time just got the best of me. Being able to put this post together to just collect my ideas and thoughts makes me feel very good and all around thankful. This period has been transformative yet beautiful. This entry is not going to be very long as it is just an update.

Before I get into the juice of this piece, I want to personally thank each and every one of you who go out of your way to read and go through my entries. It means more than you can possibly imagine. Those of you who may not even know me personally yet still decide to engage and get captivated in my art. Thank you, truly, thank you. Enjoy this entry. ♡

As of Wednesday, December 15th 2021, I am extremely proud to say that I graduated from Broward College with my Associate in Arts Degree, with a concentration in Journalism. I finished my final semester with four Bs (History Up Until 1877, National Government, International Relations, and Astronomy) and one A (African American Literature). Iye am so proud of myself and how far Iye have come, thank you to those who helped me along the way. This is truly a stepping stone, a stone that I almost missed out on.

Weeks prior, I did not want to walk for my associates because it was “just my associates”. Yeah, silly me, did not want for a milestone such as my Associates Degree. So many people do not even go for secondary education, and I did and did it well. Iye am more than proud of myself.

Like those of you can imagine from my writing, I am ultimately grateful that I walked across that stage. The deadline to purchase my cap and gown was on December 2nd or 3rd and graduation was on the 15th, if I can recall, I bought it on the deadline date. I left class that day, went all the way home, just to go back on campus and get my cap and gown. Even then, I was not even sure if I was going to walk. Of course, my parents, and sister wanted me to walk, but I think I just needed to realize the momentous occasion. The experience of making my cap (picture below), getting my outfit, attending graduation, and being with friends and family made it even more enjoyable. Thank you everyone.

• Shout out to my love, Nathaly for the suggestion, the night before graduation, on where I should go for a shirt. You are a lifesaver; that look would not have been possible without you.

I also returned to Instagram (@astoldbyjared) and currently have three new posts up. Stay fly, as I say. I have been growing my reach and space on social media and am proud at how far I have come. Also on tt, I reached 8.4, so that is also an accomplishment. Honestly, I am more than proud of myself from just my social media point of view; this year has taught me a lot about myself and about the Universe. Iye appreciate all the lessons and am ready for many more.

Expect probably two-four more art releases on my art page (@atbjart on Instagram). I released one last week on the 14th of December. Check it out if you wilt.

Iye am eternally protected, kept, wealthy, healthy, blissed, and powerful.

Iye manifest my perfect, desired life, easily.

Personal Note from Jared:

“Go Easy On Yourself”

Handle yourself with how you want others to handle you. It is okay to command and apply yourself to a certain standard, but if you fall short of it, do not beat yourself up about it. Every day is another chance to learn something new.
