"It's just my job." A common excuse to avoid accountability for ethical failures. If the company you work for actively destroys the earth, you are complicit. You are an accessory to the erosion of our quality of life. Your hands are not clean. You are not exempt just because "it's your job." You're a corporate lapdog.

Do you see it? Do you feel it? Mass unemployment, climate change, mass surveillance. So. Much. Decay.

Going after your dreams is one of the hardest things you can do. Along your journey you'll see people "make it" doing a whole lot less. You'll struggle with comparing yourself to others. You'll do more, try harder for seemingly nothing. All you can do is persevere until you get your chance; your "one."

Introducing a mini series for the Young Adult Musings podcast "Inner Work." A series where I interview myself deconstructing my thoughts and emotions to cope with the uncertainty and frustration of life. In this episode I awake in what my subconscious self calls a "subconscious liminal space." "Not quite a dream, definitely not reality, but constructed BY reality." Enjoy, hopefully something resonates with you.

Introducing, the very first Young Adult Musings "Original,"

Indomitable - Don't Fuck Around. This is the first episode of an anthological-esque superhero series debuting with the strongest hero in the verse: Indomitable.

Black market serums are exacerbating crime in the city. Becoming "altered" is making criminals bold.

I was distraught to say the least upon seeing the election results. I felt doomed for a bit but no, I shouldn't; WE shouldn't. Hate Will Never Win.

The rich have gotten too comfortable. Many of the rest have gone complacent, even worse: ignorant. It's never been about left versus right; it's about Up Versus Down.

I suffer from serious self doubt sometimes; but I'm hopeful that if I keep on creating and living intuitively everything is going to be okay. I got this, and so do you.

We all got a fire within us, we're energy after all. Usually my "fire" is regular degular, doing it's thang. Other times it's roaring with confidence! Many times it's bogged down, dying out; reduced to embers.
