Measuring Value
You are an employee that goes beyond the "craft to execution" and "problem-solving to initiative". You bring strategic impact along with your market vision that directly influences that company's bottom line. But your rank and net pay in the hands of your employer does not change. Not because you are not valuable to them but because they can not afford your services at the market rate nor can they re-design the upper echelon to accommodate your growth and talents without causing "waves". If you give far too much for the same old, you are the majority of the talent stuck within dormant companies that have no systems of recognition of talent based on merit.

Catechism. Content Warning.

What Fantasy Writing Taught Me About Hope
Sometimes, life feels heavier than we expect. Daily routines, obligations, and the constant hum of the world can make hope seem like a distant, fragile thing—something others possess but we’ve misplaced. Yet, for me, hope has often been found in the most unexpected places: in the stories we tell.
