The Beautiful Struggle: Embracing the Journey of Life. AI-Generated.
Life is a journey—one that unfolds in unexpected ways. It’s not a straight line but a winding road, filled with moments of joy and sorrow, challenges and triumphs, beginnings and endings. While it may be unpredictable and, at times, overwhelming, life is also full of meaning, beauty, and opportunity. The secret lies in how we choose to live it: with purpose, resilience, gratitude, and love.

Fortnightly Reading Round-Up #1
With no disrespect to the curators behind Vocal’s top stories, I don’t always agree with their choices. While many of the picks are great reads, each week I come across stories that, in my opinion, deserve a place in the spotlight.

The Feathered Kingdom
In a world beyond clouds, where islands floated in the sky and trees grew upside down from the mist, there existed a realm known as the Feathered Kingdom. This was no ordinary kingdom—for it was ruled not by kings or queens, but by birds. Birds of all kinds lived here, from regal falcons and wise owls to tiny hummingbirds and gentle doves.

Part of me was killed on Father's Day weekend.... Runner-Up in I Wrote This Challenge. Content Warning.
It was just before Father's Day. The kids had been getting disregulated when going into a store, so I opted to go to the store while they were gone to get a selection of Father's Day cards for them to choose from for their dad. I double checked with the manager that it was alright - as long as I returned any that were unused before noon on Saturday so that other people could purchase them. I think that I was the one who specified that as I know that making sales is very important and I really didn't want to inconvenience anyone. I'm not for sure though because I was having a hard time following through with what needed to be done for the kids.

Three years ago, I thought AI would solve misinformation. I was wrong.
I remember the excitement when GPT-3 first dropped. Finally, we thought, AI could help us fact-check faster, write better, and cut through the noise.

Behind the Silence: What Writing “Consent” Taught Me.
When I submitted Consent to Vocal’s “I Didn’t Say That Out Loud” Challenge, I wasn’t sure what would happen. I honestly didn’t expect to place. I wrote the poem from a very real, very personal place and let it go with the quiet hope that someone might read it and feel seen. When I found out I came second, I was stunned. Grateful. Emotional. It’s the kind of encouragement you don’t realize you need until it finds you.

“She’s Always a Woman” — and That Was the Problem
There’s a song I used to sing. Not at karaoke. Not in the car for fun. I sang it quietly, tenderly, as if casting a spell.

Rethinking Symbolic Leadership
Leadership, at its core, is meant to drive progress, inspire teams, and deliver results that move organizations toward a sustainable and thriving future. Yet, according to Narghiza Ergashova, the modern business world finds itself grappling with what she identifies as "ROT Leadership" – a concerning trend where appearances take precedence over substance and long-term value is sacrificed at the altar of shareholder expectations and symbolic success.
