The fight to be ‘free’ ironically leads you to be ‘oppressed’.
Being modern means to get approved? Isn’t that contradicting the actual idea of being modern, which was supposed to be free? Traditions are considered limiting and constraining as they are set by the people of past generations and must be followed and respected to fit in. The world wanted to find their own reasons, their own purpose and their own freedom to live the way they wished to and so they chose ‘modernity’. But, as I look around I see the modern world seeking approval from the ‘society’ to fit in too? What’s the point?

Freedom big and small
Freedom sounds big, freedom sounds impressive, freedom sounds huge. However, sometimes freedom is simple, freedom is humble and freedom is modest.

How the Daylight Saving Time Debate Is a Case Study in Negotiation
Listen to this week’s edition of the newsletter here! 😊 As many of you may already be aware, a bill making Daylight Saving Time (DST) permanent by November 2023 has already made its way through the Senate. The decision has been met with mixed emotions. Some argue that permanent standard time is the better option and some are simply happy to no longer have to change the clocks twice a year.

Feeling Freedom
As a child, I thought freedom meant the right to do whatever I wanted, whenever I wanted. I couldn’t wait until I turned eighteen. That was the age of autonomy when I could legally say, “You’re not the boss of me!”

Staying in the Closet. Top Story - March 2022.
Stuff is stuff. Every time I walk through a thrift store I am reminded of how quickly things go from must-haves to must-nots. This is especially true of clothes. You’ll find racks of discarded shoes, handbags worn but not worn out, and dresses guilty only of the crime of outlasting their peak of stylishness.

I Challenge This Challenge
Over the last year, I have entered a lot of stories in various Vocal + challenges, always with a small dose of hope and a larger dose of skepticism. That skepticism has been well-earned, but that's another story.

People Who Are Unrelatable But Might Be Good enough to justify Our Time
Announcements The universe has an approach to sending us inconspicuous messages. One just requirement to tune in. I observe the messages very uncovering. I just called it the universe, however some of the time I say it is my body that I pay attention to.

Just Keep Spinning
It starts off as a wave of euphoria. It consumes you, making you want to stay in this feeling for as long as you can. You don't want it to stop. You wish it would never stop, but it does. And when it does, it doesn't just stop.

Starting Over.
