Should we continue to encourage kids to go to college ? Or push them to take up a trade ? I believe in college. Learning how to learn, IMO, is a critical life skill. Being exposed to people of different backgrounds, makes yiu wiser Qualifier- it should be a school you can afford.

Writing is an act of rebellion. Writing is an act of creation. Writing is an act of salvation. Writing is an act of exploration. Writing is an act of emotion. Writing is an act of confession. Writing is an act of speculation. Writing is an act of reflection. Keep writing.

Everyone likes to ask what you accomplished this year. You tell them you survived, baby. Let’s sit here together & reflect on that.
