Her smile radiates warmth to others.
She shines so bright to overcome the darkness that is crept into her heart.
The pain does not diminish her; where it makes her stronger.
She is not a ray of sunshine to others but herself.
Her light glows for the future as it seals the shadows of her past.
Charlie Chaplin once stated, "The most sweet-hearted people are the most mistreated people," and I find his perception right. We are beings that will experience many things in our lifetime, the good and the bad. These experiences shape us in who we are and where we stand today. As I write this piece, I wonder how strong are those to keep a smile and how they can move forward no matter how they are treated. This is a unique strength that few individuals can hold, and many are learning to acquire this strength. However, I wanted to acknowledge the people who are seen as "sweet-hearted" are human as well, and they won't show it, but it's never wrong to ask them how they're feeling. Where they might shine for others but on the inside for themselves might not be so bright.

Dear Future
Dear Future, We begin a new chapter in our lives, and you have come a long way to stand where you are. I know you have fought battles in silence and showed no matter how many scars you possess that you can put on a smile and help another being. That is what makes you unique, and that is what makes you who you are as a human being. As a new door opens in your life, remember who you are and reflect on your will because that makes the difference. Please do your best in Graduate School, give them time to focus on your study, and use what you learn to spread knowledge to others. No matter how hard it can sometimes be, keep writing, do your best, and write with your heart and edit with your mind. The result will show in time, so keep your head up and have faith. Some days might be tough to give the time for yourself to feel at ease. Meditate and understand that you are human, and it is ok to pause yourself when you're feeling overwhelmed. Do not let fear cloud your judgment; anxiety is something we can not destroy, but at least we can try our best to control it. As we walk together in this new path of ours, let us try and do our best to become a better human being for ourselves and others. Where when we try, there is growth.

Autonomy Is The Real Privilege
Good morning, freedom-seekers! Today we’re gonna be looking at autonomy. A strange word, I know; one many would probably look at blankly and run away from on sight. We’re gonna figure out what it actually means, consider how it’s achieved, and decipher just how deeply most of us are tangled up in dependence without realising it.
