phrase: “By The Horns” 1. to tackle a difficult or dangerous situation directly and fearlessly, without avoiding it. This is more about the process of coming to those realizations in life, to release those thoughts/feelings about yourself that aren’t the healthiest or situations that don’t require your presence, energy or attention. We’re still on the road of growing and progressing. Thank you all for your listening ear, I hope you continue to understand. -JVY FOLLOW ME ON SOCIAL MEDIA: https://linktr.ee/jvlil INSTAGRAM: _jvlil TIKTOK: jvy__ TWITTER: _jvlil

“Accountability tastes bitter going down, but it heals the sickness of excuses. It’s the medicine nobody wants to swallow, yet everybody needs.”
 It’s tough… sometimes. Being honest with ourselves FIRST is the main step. In this season, I’m learning more of what it means to hold myself responsible, whether it be for others and/or myself, especially with my goals and keeping a healthy alignment. I hope you can understand. -JVY FOLLOW ME ON SOCIAL MEDIA: https://linktr.ee/jvlil INSTAGRAM: _jvlil TIKTOK: jvy__ TWITTER: _jvlil

When we hear “D.N.D.”, we refer it to Do Not Disturb. This time, however, it’s a different meaning behind it. The last 2 months have been something of a journey, but what path of growth doesn’t have the ups and downs? This is one of them. I hope you all understand. P.S. - this episode isn’t just for me. It’s for those who may be in this season as well. Whatever the healthy vice is to help you grow, stick to that and remain patient with yourself. Nothing’s too personal in this episode, but just know that I’ll always do my best to respect the space, the people and keep it as honest as possible. More episodes are coming soon. Yeet Yeet! - JVY FOLLOW ME ON SOCIAL MEDIA: https://linktr.ee/jvlil INSTAGRAM: _jvlil TIKTOK: jvy__ TWITTER: _jvlil

You all should know by now that I’m going to keep it as real as possible. Yes, social media is meant to be… social, for a lack of better words, however, at what point did common sense and morality become traded for the likes and views? I’m above no man or woman, but someone’s got to keep it on the up and up. FOLLOW ME ON SOCIAL MEDIA: https://linktr.ee/jvlil INSTAGRAM: _jvlil TIKTOK: jvy__ TWITTER: _jvlil SNAPCHAT: jalil_karim

noun: inevitable 2. a situation that is unavoidable."by the morning he had accepted the inevitable"

 I’ve always felt, in the slightest ways, that everything that I’ve done creative wise was inevitable; more of God’s plan instead of mine 100%. If you know the story of how this entity started, the DEEPER story, then you’ll understand why I feel so deeply about this. The same sentiment with drumming, from damn near out of the womb and to go on for the last 27 years and beyond. Inspired by @realcoleworld , molded by the most high and guarded by my angels. This is for the dreamers, on the days where we feel at our worst but progressing to our best.

 The thing with growth is this- it’s difficult. Would we want it to be easy? 100%. But, there are times where we make it difficult, due to unrealistic expectations & timelines, or rather, losing ourselves. Just take a listen. It’s a short rant, but nonetheless, I might be the problem. (This is not a moment of bringing myself down at all; just clarifying). No Music, No Intros; just a voice.

As we wrap up 2023, I figured “what better way to get things off my chest, than to have my own therapy pod-sessions”? That’s exactly what this is- my version of what therapy looks like.
