Iana J. Daniels: “When we realize that everything is temporary we begin to develop the fear of missing out (FOMO). Growing up in Guyana, there are two phrases that older people say all the time. As a young girl, I didn't quite understand it. I understood it more as I grew older. The first one is, ‘You know that you're getting older, when you have fewer friends’. And the other one I recall hearing was, ‘I’m tired. I’m ready’. My maternal grandmother lived until she was 104 so you can imagine how many times she used that phrase.

As I got older, I realized what they meant. ‘I've lived a life. I feel complete, and I am fine. I am at peace with the world no matter what happens.’ 

In every situation and every experience, you learn something about you and you learn something about the world. So you still come out of a difficult time in your life with a lesson and a blessing. 

We get to create and recreate our stories from our lessons and our blessings. We do that from our intuition. Like, something’s just not feeling right and that's okay, I can make a different decision.”
