    #5 Bread

    When I was younger, I was obsessed with those “Choose Your Own Adventure” books! In it, were these stories - where you were either the hero, the adventurer, or the explorer. And every few pages, you had to make a choice. It was the most important decision ever because each choice influenced how the story ended. With some paths leading to glory. And others ending with alien invasions, tyrannosaurus rex attacks, or any other danger that could happen in your wildest imagination. Read the rest of this story here— via my substack. 🧡

    #4 Joy

    One of the most beautiful memories I have of my mom is her singing. And I can see it right now. I can see her staring out a window, looking off into the distance. And she would sing. Sometimes, they were happy songs. Sometimes, they were songs mixed with sorrow. But even to this day, those songs would find their way through space and time, and they would always be there when I needed them most. - - - - Read more by subscribing to my newsletter on Substack.

    #3 Fireflies and Bonfires

    When I was a boy, I spent a lot of time on this island. And, way before screen reflections and status updates, life was filled with moments.⁣ ⁣ We sat with the sounds of crickets⁣ We laughed till our bellies cramped.⁣ We sang songs and dreamt of tomorrow⁣ We covered our faces⁣ Got caught in the rhythms...⁣ ⁣ Life was full of fireflies and bonfires⁣ The old folk told stories⁣ And they were these living, breathing stories...⁣ nudging us to be still....⁣ ⁣ So let’s welcome this moment.⁣ Stories at evening’s light⁣ Fireflies and bonfires ⁣ Wild and beautiful. - Fireflies and Bonfires

    #1 Authentic

    And I've spoken to enough people over the last three years to know that a lot of us are struggling. Some of us have been extremely lucky. We were fortunate to find ourselves in the right places with the right people who see us for who we truly are. But a lot of us have also found ourselves in places where the idea of authenticity is talked about as the gold standard. But it is not actually welcomed. And it's the most heartbreaking thing ever! Living a lie day in and day out worrying about the room, instead of our heart. #TellABetterStory
