I
The Dreamer and the Student
Teachers, students, and dreamers. The reasoning behind such classifications appears to stem from differing levels of knowledge and ideals; however, each type of individual is also two of the others. Every teacher is a student and a dreamer. Every student dreams, but also has the capacity to teach. Every dreamer is a student of reality but has the ability to teach only to those who resonate with them. Although more can be said, it defeats the purpose of the test. Critical thinking and discernment are key, yet not all answers can be solved through such willpower. Sometimes the only answer is patience. And sometimes the answer is to get in line and struggle like the rest of us.
Hello and welcome to Chasmic Desist! It is an honor for me to guide you through this wonderful pocket of reality that you have walked into. First and foremost, allow me to introduce myself.
My name is Keyshawn Nunely and I am the owner, founder, and designer of Chasmic Desist.
For those of you who have been here during Chasmic’s original run, you may notice that things are a little different around here and with me. For those of you who are new, let me elaborate. Born in Alaska and raised as an army brat, my journey has graciously given me the opportunity to explore different cultures and meet so many different people. Throughout my journey, I have come to desire and learn plenty of different things, one of which is currently completing my Master’s in Aerospace Engineering. Unfortunately, I also had to experience plenty of trials and tribulations that have negatively impacted myself and others around me. These points in my life certainly showed themselves in my thoughts, actions, and appearances especially when it came to how I originally treated Chasmic Desist.
Chasmic Desist was and will always be meant to illustrate the mental and emotional health issues of myself and others while also offering plenty of pathways to heal. However, the way that I originally went about it reflected who I was at the time, which was rushed, inconsistent, attention-seeking, hurt, and not developed enough. As I saw more and more of what I and Chasmic Desist were, I destroyed everything. No more website, no more socials, and no more old me. I didn’t know who I was and I didn’t love Chasmic Desist as I should have, so I decided things had to die in order to be reborn into the best versions of themselves. Therefore, I began my journey of self-acceptance, understanding, and discovery as a means to know what it means to be unapologetically me and only me. My inner child and shadow, the ones that I made promises to and yet betrayed, deserved that.
The more I understood and the more of the old I left behind, the more Chasmic Desist came back to me but exponentially better and welcoming of the new version of me. Now, here we are. Mystique, secrecy, passion, love, intellect, strength, understanding, abundance, and growth are now the epitomes of Chasmic Desist and I. As a result, all of the DESIGNS, POETRY, and PRODUCTS have become reflections of that in addition to my way of appreciating and thinking about others. The meaning of the name Chasmic Desist means to cease or abstain from one’s inner abyss of negativity and obstacles so that one may progress into a more fruitful person. This meaning is also a reflection of my development and the intended development of others.
Lastly, the one thing that is still here, and always will be, is that about 20% of all profits will be donated to a charity that I and/or our community choose. Each monthly charity will be posted here and on SOURCE. The current charity that will be receiving donations is The Children's Defense Fund! The amount that has been donated so far will be shown below and updated accordingly.
