Mojo (jo-jo)

"Energy can neither be created nor destroyed, it can only be changed from one form to another or transferred from one body to another, but the total amount of energy remains constant."

That's what feelings are about. Transfer of energy. It moves from one person to the next, it moves from one type to the next, it just moves. You know how you talk to someone sad and it makes you sad? Or if you hear someone laughing really hard at something and you just start laughing even though you don't know what about? All transfers.

This is especially true in intimate stiuations, whether it be friends or spouses, or somewhere in between, couples are always switching energies. You meet a person and you have that nervous energy that gives you butterflies, you find out they like you too and you both share that electric energy that's so exciting. You get that smooth comfortable energy where you like being around each other, sometimes you get that fierce jealous energy, you get exhaustion using energy trying to switch power dynamics in the relationship, you waste energy worrying about that other person or trying to make them feel what you feel. It's an interesting concept.

And since energy is not created nor destroyed it is inevitable that someone somewhere will always be happy, and someone somewhere else will be sad at the same time. Right now I'm trying to channel some creative energy because I feel negative energy in some of my relationships, and I need to flip the script on those, or I'll have to flip the switch and cut the power flow that's keeping the energy going.

Whatever your mojo is, don't let anybody flip it on you too long. Oh, it's going to get flipped, 'cause that's just the way life works, but find a way to turn it right back around. Me, I'm mostly a happy person. My smile could short circuit Las Vegas, and I TRY to be mostly optimistic. Today, I got flipped more times than necessary. But it doesn't stop here. I consider this fun. A challenge. And I'm in it to win it.

More on this subject later...
