meet jessica stone
we create so much conflict and struggle
for ourselves, where there should be joy.
we have to fight the urge to fill experiences,
and the holes in between them with static,
and shit that clouds what really matters.
watching someone triumph over REAL struggle,
REAL loss slaps us sober
it provides a clarity that is crucial.
it inspires us to be present and
to appreciate all we take for granted.
meet my friend jessica.
she is a bad ass.
she reached out, and included me in her life.
i am lucky to have her.
be inspired.
(apologies for having to endure the commercial before)

Thank you for introducing Jessica to the world. My brother Jeremy went to one of your concerts with Jessica and you wore their NF2 bracelet on stage. I found your page and was looking to see if you had mentioned them. Again, Thank you. She is one of the most amazing people i have had the opportunity to meet.
