Rise n Shine

A New Year’s Greeting: Rise and Shine

Yo, the clock’s ticking,
another season fading out like the last track on a mixtape.
Time and tide don’t wait for no one,
rolling steady, relentless, carrying us forward.

But look—on the horizon,
there it is: a new dawn.

Fresh hopes break through,
like sunlight slicing the skyline,
whispering,
'What’s next?'

Here we are,
standing in this liminal space—the in-between of
what was and what’s yet to come.

Pause for a moment.
Feel that?
That’s gratitude.
For this wild, wondrous world crafted by the Creator’s hand.

It’s all prep work, this beauty,
this grind—it’s set up for something bigger.

So let’s make it count.
Let’s resolve to level up,
to be the realest, rawest, best version of ourselves.

And then?

Let’s transcend even that.
Let’s step into what it means to be fully human,
to become the people we’re meant to be.

The street lights might flicker, but we’re here to shine.

Happy New Year.

Let’s rise.
