~:[CH14 - Day 185]:~ Something Beyond Joy

You know those moments in life that leave you speechless. The moments that bring you so much joy and even a tear to your eye, but joy cannot accurately describe it, because it's ao much more. That's how tonight felt. It was something beyond joy. As Jae stepped on stage, you could feel the anticipation from the Jars and the others in attendance. Then he let it go. His voice echoed through the area as the beautiful temple of Prambanan was lit up in the background. The weather was cool and crisp and the energy was high. It was a bit of a challenge before I arrived as the traffic was difficult and I had to navigate to the right place, but once a fan of eaJ introduced herself, everything felt a little easier and I relaxed, enjoying their energy. It was great to see their love and devotion to Jae and I know he felt it as well as he kept showing his appreciation towards them. His performance felt like a dream at points as I soaked in the feeling as I stood a bit further back from the stage with the Jars who were dancing around. The feeling of freedom made me smile and made every sacrifice and challenge during this journey worth it. Life doesn't always treat us well, but it's moments like these that show you the reason to keep pushing forward and never giving up. I know Jae felt how incredible moments this was and I know that it wouldn't haven't been possible without the constant support of these incredible Indonesian Jars who have given so much to support Jae. I was lucky to have been among them as they reminded me about how much sincerity and devotion can mean to someone especially when they're facing challenging times. Let's be those people who uplift others so we can all experience a moment like this, something beyond joy.
