September Thoughts

Traveling and Culture

Traveling helps me break out of ruts and observe how different cultures shape people’s emotional well-being.

Empathy

I’ve learned that people’s behavior toward me reflects how they view themselves rather than how they view me, which has been liberating. Reading fiction this year has strengthened both my creativity and empathy.

Friendship

Men are socialized to hide our emotions, but opening up to a friend has helped me let go of my past and actually live. Thanks :)

Work

I have so much creative energy and zest, and working for someone else squeezed that out of me. Can’t stop won’t stop.
