Vocal: Why You Should Dig Deeper

Dealing with Shock
Shock. You hear a lot about it, perhaps enough to desensitise you to the full import of what it is. It’s possible that we use it inappropriate senses, when really we mean ‘very surprised’: “when I heard of David Bowie’s death, I was in shock…” Most of us know that a person receiving bad or traumatic news may act in ways that we don’t understand, and some of us forgive those ways, or at least don’t take them at face value, because we are cognisant of the concept of shock. It’s something perhaps that we instinctively know the shape of without having personally ever experienced. It seems that shock to some extent may be a phenomenon that is necessarily a unique experience, being as it is the result of an individual’s response to stimuli (especially traumatic stimuli). This piece is part of my own response to shock, and my hope is twofold: that putting a random collection of my thoughts in writing will help me in the immediate aftermath, and that maybe something I say here will strike a chord with someone and provide a measure of solace or help to them in the wake of an undesirable event in their life.

How to Navigate Isolation
As an elder millennial, I can speak fluently on this topic. Millennials face tough times. We are expected to have obtained a career by this point, married someone, and perhaps even started having kids. Sure, times have changed. It is not necessarily expected anymore for a thirty year old female to be married with children by then.
