JJ

“Joseph Jan Emmanuel Adversario Mayang Joseph, Jojo, Emmanuel JAM All facets of my story meshed together Yet Somehow distinct identities JJ Mayang is one in particular The tenth letter of the alphabet times two But on a deeper level The origin of embracing who I am meant to be I was a victim of letting people put a definition to me Trapped in this mirage of limiting beliefs Somehow never having the courage to let go of outside validation That unknowingly was tantalizing JJ came up to me one day Encouraging me to write a new narrative “Witty, Creative, and Wellbeing” “Huh? Is that a grocery list?” “No cuz you already have it at home.” “Uhh where?” “It’s in the back of the fridge”. You’ve had it for a while But all you serve are snacks that others lack They’re good but they’re not all you have Give those tucked at the back some love as well. Don’t let em go to waste.” Haha That’s what my parents always say Don’t let anything go to waste”
