What is your favorite quote? – “Be more concerned with your character than your reputation, because your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are.” – John Wooden

Geet’s Questions
What are your opinions on my (Geet’s Society) blog? – I love your site!! I am always empowered and inspired after reading your beautiful work! I love how you take big topics and explain them in a simple and authentically YOU way. I feel very lucky to have found you and your incredible spirit!!
How would you describe yourself as? – I am a fearless and free soul, athlete, writer, dreamer and creator.
What made you realize you wanted to be a blogger? – In 2020, I had this drive to create and get my voice out there. So, I originally was sharing quotes and poems on a small platform. And then I got censored a lot, even once for an image that only said, “Love Yourself”. It was kind of crazy to me, but it all worked out. I started craving a place where I could truly be free, and this blog was born! It has blossomed into something I had never dreamed of and I am eternally grateful.
What’s your favorite sport? Why do you like it? – Tennis!! I am a competitive tennis player and have been playing for 12 years. I love the game because whenever I play, I get to experience the zone. The zone is that flow where thinking disappears, all distractions evaporate, and you lean into the adrenaline of every moment. It’s the zone where you feel most at home, most alive and most free. And I am addicted to it 😊
What song speaks to you the most? – Tough question!! Alamo – Alec Benjamin or Intuition – Maejor. Note – I love these songs, but they’re not my favorite, more so what speaks to me.
What’s the one thing that you miss when you were little? – My brother and I used to play restaurant in our play kitchen with our stuffed animals. We’d spend countless hours “cooking” and “serving” away!! It would be cool to go back to that me and experience it one more time.
What is a quality in yourself that you hate? – I don’t hate anything about myself, I love who I am and who I’m becoming. But, I am working on overthinking. It’s gotten so much better over the years, but still a nagging thing in my mind. I keep learning and I know my intuition is all I need to listen to.
How do you practice self care in your worst days? – I talk out loud to the Universe (me) and rely on my foundation that always reminds me “all is meant to be and always ok.”
What are your pet peeves? – This is weird, but the sound of metal on metal really drives me crazy.
Which one has been your most favorite post on your blog so far? – Omg, I have no idea!! I could go on and on about my favorites. If I had to choose one right now, it would be: more than a word. It was my first spoken word and I truly had to be fearless and free in releasing it. And the feedback was just beyond touching and amazing, something I never dreamed of.
What do you do in your free time, when you’re bored? – Listen to music, create, daydream, sleep or talk to a friend.
Anushka’s Questions
What is the best thing about my blog? (Anushka Stories) – Your poems!! I absolutely love your poems and the meaning, depth, imagery, beauty and dreamy flows you create! You are so talented and just such a beautiful creator!
What is your favorite character in a story book? – Katniss Everdeen (The Hunger Games)
Who do you love the most? And why? – My family because they are my forever team, and I wouldn’t be the person I am today without them; I am so grateful we walk this journey together.
Would you rather help a person or ask a person for help? – I’d definitely rather help a person.
Mention some weird things you usually do? – I think for myself, I daydream, I don’t see limitations, I live beyond labels and I have out loud conversations with the Universe.
Do you like reading in the library or would you like to read online? – I’d rather read in the library but my first choice would be in my cozy orbit chair!
Filarance’s Questions
What’s your favorite recipe? – Oh boy, this is impossible to answer! I love to cook and have too many favorites. Some of my favorite recipes can be found in my virtual cookbook, Acing The Kitchen.
How important is your blog for you? – Very important! It’s a place where I can fulfill my purpose, be fearless and free and express my deepest thoughts/wonders/dreams. It’s also where I get to connect with so many amazing friends, I will always be truly grateful for that.
Did you meet an old friend recently? – Yes, actually.
How happy are you today? – Very happy! Authentically happy!
What’s your dream in life? – To fulfill my purpose of raising the frequency of this Universe and to inspire others to truly be fearless and free.
What do you like most about the country you are living in now? – The size and how each state is unique and different.
If you could travel anywhere, what would your top 3 places be? – Sedona AZ, the future, and the beyond that I often refer to 😊.
Name the first 5 things you see right now? – My computer I’m typing on, my mom, my dog, my hands and the light.
If you open your fridge, what food did you hate as a child but love now? – Bell Peppers.
Without phone one day, what will you do? – Enjoy the device break, daydream, train in the gym and on the tennis court, write in my journal and probably sleep more.

Memory is a funny thing to me. Some days I wonder, “What would life be like if I had no memory of anything in the past?” Other days I wonder, “What if I could remember my soul’s entire past?” And then there are the days where I have this bursting gratitude for each memory I have – it’s as if I’m watching the best movie.
If I lived life without memory and treated each moment with a fresh, blank perspective, I think life would be boundless – almost like a dream. You know when you’re in a dream and you have no idea where it’s going, but you also know, you can take it anywhere you wish? That’s what life would be like, an unknown space of reality and a label-less world ripe with excitement for every moment — it would be like I just arrived here over and over again.
If I could remember my soul’s entire past, this journey, this life, would be so much more clear. I’d have answers, I’d have eternal experiences to learn from, I’d know my soul’s mission and most of all – I’d know who I truly am and what this reality really is. I know this life is not forever and I know my journey started way beyond the day I was born here, but I still have so many questions. In a reality where I knew my soul’s entire history, I would have all those answers.
And on those days when I dwell in my memories and soak in their emotion, I know this journey is perfectly meant to be. I smile at all those experiences that shaped me into the person I am today. I laugh at all those days I took things way too seriously. On those days I lived close to fear, I can look back with love and compassion instead of regret because I am truly grateful for that version of me.
So, in conclusion, the answer is — of course, all. Each perspective on my memory has its paradoxes, and that’s the beauty of this life. There really are no answers, and if there are, those answers are just your beliefs. I believe living life with a few less labels would be peaceful and living life with the knowing in my bones of all my soul’s past would bring me a lot more clarity. And I believe that all my memories shaped me into the me I am today. So, to every version of the past I’ve met – thank you.
I wish this page could write itself. Maybe it would tell me the answers to my never-ending questions, maybe it would speak the future, maybe it would be one line or maybe it would become alive in a way I’ve never known. But, maybe this page has always been writing itself, because I’ve been on adventures I never knew existed – adventures through the beyond.
It’s funny when there is so much on my mind, that it’s tricky to write about one single thing. I wish I could get it all out, or maybe the page could do it for me. I’m starting to realize the page has always been me, the keyboard has always been me, the delete button has always been me, the space button has always been me – the expression has always been me.
I can’t shake this weird feeling that I’ve written this before. Maybe in another land, maybe in a dream, maybe in a past, maybe in a different time, but for sure as this me. I love riding every impossible through the vast oceans of daydreaming, I love watching my beliefs dance in the wind and drift off into each sunset. And then a little bird rests on my shoulder and grounds me in the roots of truth once again, then I feel at home in the meadows of my wonders.
When I write, this page listens. When I write, this page speaks. When I write, this page is. There’s a beauty to the beingness of this page, it goes beyond the divine. I can feel its thoughts as I type and delete something, I can feel its smile as I keep writing through my “mistakes”. I wish I could feel its future, I wish I could feel its clarity. But that’s one thing about this page, it is never crystal clear because crystal clear takes away the adventures.
So, would this page be truly whole if it had an ending? Would this page be complete if it had a concrete beginning? Or is this page cemented in time because the unknown flows through?
For now, this is just another musing of a curious soul who lives in the adrenaline of the beyond.
A little caterpillar on a big oak tree, Falling in love with the hide and see, (finding the best spot for shade, blending in with the bark, making a small mark). Turning over a new leaf Or at least trying, adding belief. Tumbling from branches, hitting the ground, Life’s great adventure lies in playing around. (No creature could have been stiller when it came to pursuing the big dreams)?
Inching to crawl, Hearing the call, (Beyond words and thoughts, it was coming) Something so deep, A cry to evolve, a deafening weep. (A dance within, change was looming in place).
With another slither, The cocoon whispered, “come hither” Everything became s l o w, Sky and sight disappeared. (All was blank, in this blanket’s show).
Hugging its skin like gentle fluff, The cocoon became soothing, Breaking the warmth, becoming rough, Cold air brushed the new body – blooming. Like a flower that came to life, Testing its wings like they were petals, The butterfly took a flight, A new world went into view, The flapping wings appeared blue, Something ineffable, only divine, As if nothing could take away its sun-kissed shine, It floated over the trees, Tasting nature’s nectar, finally free. Ready to make another leap, Fear started to weep. The adrenaline of truly being alive, Was such a magical dive. Something inside was afraid fear would arrive, But through a smile of the eyes, And a breath of love, So many more surprises Awaited these wings delicately above.
Thank you to my awesome pal, Aarushi for doing this collaboration with me!!! We had a vision for this post and it came to life so beautifully…better than I could’ve ever envisioned! Which piece is your favorite? Which image do you like best? We’d so love to hear!!
This video came to be so naturally. Literally a few days ago, I was just talking to my mom, and then all of the sudden I randomly said, “I think I’m going to make a new video.” 😂 And this new single, Dance, was born! I really love this video and the dance to it. It has such a strong message that I’ve been feeling lately – dance to all the ups and downs life brings! I hope this video empowers you to harness your dance, lean into life’s dance and then remember both dances are one. I’d love to hear your thoughts on this video!! Be fearless and free -Ace

In my eyes, skies are still warm In my heart, breaths are still surviving I search for meaning of all existence, as I draw lines in my mind. So many doors of emptiness surround me as time scatters, but even the eye has an exit. I fall asleep on my pillow of pain and hope to awake on a wing and a prayer. A fullness then gathers inside me, and I now feel anything but ordinary. I watch love nestle in every crevice of my being, I watch the stars pour their light into my veins. That something extraordinary is without form, boundless and forceful. A gentle whisper A ferocious cry, all at once. The sun sets behind the ocean of my dream, and rises over the sky of my vision. The wind blows through every thought in my collection. The trees and the flowers cradle my heart, while the mountains nudge me to grow. I’m in this infinite flow, or maybe I am this infinite flow. And I now feel anything but ordinary.
It was so magical to work with the amazing Diana on this piece! She’s always inspired me and I feel very lucky to call her a dear friend! Diana’s lovely instagram reels also inspired this video!
I hope this piece reminds you that you are anything but ordinary!!
What if this reality is just your imagination? What if all the beings in this reality are just your reflections? Maybe I am not me, rather, I am you. Maybe this world isn’t truly real, maybe it’s just your illustration?
I think the ‘impossible’ is the realm of freedom – the realm of truest creation. Through the ‘impossible’, we can travel through any wonder and discover countless versions of ourselves. We are infinite, we are more than these bodies. That’s the beauty of walking our own path, we get to believe in every ‘impossible’, in every wonder.
You whisper in my dreams every night, you echo in all my thoughts, you travel in every waking step I walk, you channel through my voice, you live in my breath, you fly in my heart and you daydream in the depths of my soul. I walk in the shadows of your trail, I speak in the language of your creation, I dream in the wonders of your intuition, I listen to the beat of your heart and I live in the projection of your mind. So maybe, I am yours and you are mine.
Why do I find comfort in all my thoughts? I know there’s an “ego” but, that’s just a label. I’m realizing all is one and you are all. Why should I judge a part of me just because it speaks in a harsher tone? All those voices in my head are my gifts, they’re my guides. I always get to choose who to listen to and my intuition is there to give me those nudges – I AM all.
I believe imagination is the realest thing in this reality, it’s a reflection of my deepest memories and strongest hopes. Daydreaming is an unrealized zone; it’s one I prioritize as it lets me fly through the lands of my soul. It’s another realm and when I reach it, I am free. Freedom is who I truly am at my core, freedom is who we all truly are – freedom is You.
Thank “you” for this adventure. In all your unknowns, I am finding me or maybe, you. For now, I’ve just conquered this blank page.
We are all puzzle pieces in the infinite puzzle of this life. Each piece is unique in their structure and color. But together, all these unique pieces create something bigger than their forms, something divine. The Universe in each piece reflects upon the other, because together, we are one.
We are each a unique wave in this eternal ocean of the Universe. Each wave with its own force, its own rise and crash, its own depth and its own soothing sound. But together, each wave connects into something much more ethereal, a forever intrinsic feeling. The light within each fragment of every wave shines, because together, we are one.
We are each a step on this endless staircase of destiny. Each step is equal, but special in its purpose, action, foundation and gentle nudge. Together, every step helps each other evolve and build something grand, something sacred. The inspiration to progress and the drive to climb this boundless journey is found within, because together, we are one.
We are each a magnet connected to this board of fate. Each magnet is distinctive in its personality, design, perception and strength. But together, all the magnets unite and present something deeper, something precious. The wonder and character through the vastness in each piece travels through many dreams, because together, we are one.
We are One. We are a team, here for a reason and living this dream together!! I’d so love to hear your favorite analogy!! Be fearless and free – Ace
There was a force – its presence indescribable, its space comforting, its aura beyond words and its soul so familiar, yet oddly empty. When the force traveled and danced around in the space known as, air, it would whisper and holler at once. Its soft embrace would eventually land on something. Sometimes, that “something” would present itself as the sky, the sun, a blooming rose, a fleeting hummingbird or, better yet, the magical beings even the force couldn’t quite understand – the human beings.
All time and space folds on top of itself, for time is the ultimate illusion. This force lived beyond constructs known as “time”, the force lived in the vastness and yet soothing emptiness of the Universe. So, at this seemingly current timeline, the force landed in a human being, a soul. In an instant, the force knew every piece, every dream, every past, every now and every wonder this soul had ever immersed herself in – because in stillness, creation speaks.
This soul felt the warm touch of a certain something around. The “certain something” was alive but beyond vision and words, it seemed to play in the echoes of love, peace and harmony. So, this soul let down her shield of protection, took a deep breath and let the “certain something” swim in every wave of her ocean.
All else stopped – the walls became malleable, everything her eyes could see became blurry, her mind was blank, but her intuition vividly spoke. There was such comfort in the emptiness; like a connection to something bigger than this life, something vast – something like home.
The force had found its resting spot in this soul’s intuition. Something about it was open but protected, alive but calm and in touch with a fragment of our true home, the Universe. So, the force nestled in her intuition’s vortex and breathed to the tune of her heart’s rhythm.
It didn’t take long for the force and the soul to become one, because together they were already source.
“When you blink, you’re entering two different realities. Eyes open – illusions are present, labels are aplenty, and versions of you are simultaneously testing the piece of you here in this timeline. Eyes closed – you’re home. Empty space, imagination for eons, free of illusional constructs, adventures in your daydreams, a certain indescribable grandness to be explored – a certain familiarity, a certain magic, a certain comfort, a certain home. As you enter and exit both realities, soak in your emotions and be gentle with yourself. You’re here for a reason, a reason to find home in this lost dream you now call, life.”
The force floated away. The soul smiled, basking in the last few whisps of the force’s essence. To the soul, it seemed like a few seconds. To the force, it was a quick forever. The soul knew these forceful visits well, she called them “the in-between dreams,” for they were little in-between moments only familiar from her dreams. The force knew these ethereal visits well, it called them “divine silence,” for the soul is divine and the force, it, has always been silence.
Author’s Note – The Soul is always beyond his/her, the soul is oneness. For the sake of writing, I chose to make the soul “her”, but keep in mind that the soul is beyond all labels.
