Path to #2017...I commit to forgiving & letting go. This has never included quick fixes or mandatory lapses in memory in my experience. It means I will recognize my heart and my hurt, deal with offenses, transgressions and be brave enough to reset when necessary and work on engaging in a lifestyle of letting go and choosing freedom for my entire being. #2016 hurt like no other on more than one occasion...But it will not make me #bitter, only #better. This is a clip from last night @thefyouproject when we were talking about #relationships and the option we have to not let our negative experiences with ourselves and others dictate the connections the future has lined up for us. #Forgiveness is key in getting over...#LettingGo is ideal for lasting love.

Thank You for creating a space for forward conversation, safety and spiritual healing. @projectfword A privilege to hang last night and sit under the conversation that was had with @thelegendabomb and @gangstara. I'm sure I gained more than I gave and was really moved by the life discussed and experiences drawn out last night. A time of reflection and moving forward...Made peace with #2016 and that felt right. Thank you for opening your home to me and allowing me to share as my brain shuffled and we went randomly through issues of the heart. I appreciate you! And an absolute pleasure to catch up with my brothers @shafiyah @tona_tencreddi @youngdokang...It's been too long 🙏 #Repost #goodpeople #fanofthestory #thedaysheranaway #tdsra #forgive #forgiveness #fyou #realtalk #toronto ・・・ We had a packed house tonight for @projectfword year end event featuring Chris Jay and Adam Bomb. Thanks to everyone who came and enjoyed birthday cake!!!! (at 401 Richmond Street West)

•#TDSRA• Via @whatinspires.me @ginaayanna: How do you balance life and your creative work? @chrisjayonline: What’s working for me is removing what we figure is “life” from one end of the scale and “art” from the other end and mixing them together and just doing it.  I need what we call "art" to live.  It’s part of me.  It keeps me healthy, it gives me peace, it makes me relatable and helps me to communicate. There can be a separation...so my idea of balancing the creative and life is making sure that they exist as one. #notetoself #reason #themostwinderfultimeoftheyear? #create #rebirth #hipop #thedaysheranaway #saysomething #toronto #yyz #indie #morelife #depression #anxiety #letstalk #getwellsoon #write #craft #create #blog #blogger

@blavity: In my listenings to the EP I felt we were on a journey, the first half of the EP it seemed like you were unpacking your experiences and the effects they had and then on the second it was taking those experiences and carrying on with your life’s purpose. What were you trying to accomplish with this project? ChrisJay: Exactly. The Day She Ran Away is a melting pot for awkward and unfavorable conversations.  It deals with issues, of loss, abandonment, injustice and hurt feelings.  It puts all the stuff I find no enjoyment in confronting right in my face. #TDSRA also puts a spotlight on high times and serves a challenge to savour them. MY #hope is to inspire action.  I can honestly say, there was no motive behind starting or completing this work besides the overwhelming necessity I had to just be able to breathe on and into something and really find a safe place and an outlet for my life. We all need to deal with stuff and I hope this #triggers the process in people. I had a moment (which translated into about a year) when I was creating #TDSRA of aggressively forgiving...myself, others and God...a mass "letting go". It was a time of reconciliation. In that moment, the moment you realize the #universe has ultimately and underminingly betrayed you and instead of letting it paralyze, you pull it's card, get better and move forward.  This #project is that. #underground #hiphop #toronto #yyz #rap #thedaysheranaway #forgive #blavity #interview #soundcloud #itunes #tidal #applemusic #bandcamp #spotify #google

I am a believer. I believe that ones physical, mental and emotional wellness relies heavily on their outflow of the creative gifts that have been placed inside of them. If you were indebted to society it would be by this one thing...your creative contribution. Whether it is on an open stage or behind closed doors, release your creative flow. Don't be defined by others nor jaded when they try to swoop on your flavour. Do You, authentically...the future needs you! @ChrisJayOnline via @blavity What have you been up to lately? #dirtybathroomsintheborough #askmeanything #tdsra #believe #believer #you #hockeymom #morning #getit #inspire #inspiration #sunday #wordup #hiphop #emcee #blavity #thedaysheranaway #rap #toronto #yyz #inspiration #mind #create #creator #itunes #tidal #spotify #googleplaymusic #bandcamp #soundcloud #chh
