A deeper reflection of culture and society leads the mind to wonder about our greater needs versus our greater desires. While dream scaping is important, a greater emphasis on the self will illuminate your resilience to conjure the drive necessary to rebuild. These past two weeks, I’ve engaged in a soul revival through TikTok University which was sparked by an African American Professor breaking down class essentials and expectations to her students, while simultaneously crashing the internet. This indignation bloomed into a reservoir of higher education and lend to my discovery of a content creator whose focus is on Personal Growth and Glow-Up Mastery.

Opening my eyes in this misty haze of ridicule caused disruption in the body. Within moments I began to wonder if the life dunes that smothered my horizons can tell the difference between my words, mind, body and soul. It was not enough to say I was drowning, but starving for release. Release from the conversation that questioned my own integrity while it simultaneously clung to it for survival.
