“Trade, Power, and Rare Earths: What Trump and Xi’s Busan Meeting Really Means”
When two of the world’s most powerful leaders sit down together in a near-secret meeting, the headlines tend to shout. But in the case of the October 30, 2025 meeting in Busan, South Korea, the change was more subtle than sensational. What emerged was less a loud victory and more a quiet shift.

Sober October
Sober October, No Bender November, Dry December, the list goes on. I've been writing on Vocal for almost FIVE years now, one of the first entries I shared was my battle trying to become sober from alcohol (55 days sober). I just went back and re-read some of that entry for the first time in 5 years and it breaks my heart. I wish I could go and give my past self a hug. let her know that things are about to get real rough for legit the next 5 years but it will all work out. I want to say it was only a couple days after I posted the blog my dad came over and I drank. Just like that I was back to my old ways, thinking I will be fine. The following year I ended up getting into a very toxic situation/relationship, lost my apartment, moved back in with my dad, then moved 3 hours away to my moms. I was coping with all of this by drinking almost everyday. Except for when I ended up in the hospital due to my gallbladder/blocked bile duct which is a story for another day. Even that experience only held me back from drinking momentarily even though I had doctors warning me to stop. Looking back at all my writing, and my experiences I knew what was happening and I knew the problem. I just wouldn't accept that alcohol wasn't the root cause of my anxiety it was just adding fuel to the fire. I could write out that I knew it was but internally my brain was like if we cut it out all of this will go away. It helped, but not fully. Then when it wasn't helping, I would just go back to drinking because I knew it would shut off the thoughts and feelings temporarily and then i would be right back the the vicious never ending cycle. Everyone I grew up around dealt with their problems with alcohol so it's what I knew. It became my cruch, and my best friend. It may sound sad or crazy to someone that has never been through this before but this is me being honest. I really hope if you've never been through it you never have to, especially alcohol. It's n0t talked about enough how addictive it is, but also a hard one to quit do to how socially acceptable it is.
