it's Jo. Jo from south africa.
i met her in the spring of this year at a party and after a coffee couldn't get enough. she gave me the courage to believe in many things: spinning, tanning, laughing loud and hard, doing what feels hard to do but necessary to combat boredom and status quo, to keep searching and to keep growing. it was her insight that helped me bring perspective to my own life and helped me channel my thoughts in a direction that would lead me to cool adventures.
for example when we were talking about zeynep's death and i told her it felt like i was walking in a vacuum, she said it may feel like being at the edge of a pool and you want to jump in and have a sudden realisation that she is gone but this whole process is a little like wading in and you don't know you are in the water until you see youself completely in it accepting and waded.
Jo talks fast and you better hold on for a great ride. she loves dr. seuss and she convinced me that i needed to memorize "oh the places you will go". one of my
favorite part is:
Out there things can happen
and frequently do
to people as brainy
and footsy as you.
And then things start to happen,
don't worry. Don't stew.
Just go right along.
You'll start happening too.
OH!
THE PLACES YOU'LL GO!
