Introduction of ME
Welcome to my first post and story to introduce myself. I know boring right? I guess that will depend on your opinion of how you find me on first glance. My name is Camron and I have always dreamt of being a person who creates the ripples of change in the world. My aspirations of being involved with politics, theater, writing, and society have been a growing desire within the past two years after going through my first year of college. These two desires have brought me here to Vocal to create a starting point that I can jump from.

If You Are the Smartest Person in the Room, You Are in the Wrong Room
The wrong room is made up of people you know that are usually lazy and lack ambition. The wrong place also contains dreams that fled, hopes that died, and a movement of silent jealousy in every corner. This is perhaps a scenario you don’t wish to be in.

The Blindness of Self-Doubt
Student It’s around about that murky time after University. The bars are still open and the jaeger is still cheap but the atmosphere has changed. You still call yourself a graduate, it’s a title you hold on to tightly. However, no one seems to be answering your C.V. You watch as it ricochets back and forth through cyberspace to different graduate scheme websites. It’s in this time that you lose that certain sense of purpose. You’re sleepwalking while friends are flying. The regimented sense of certainty is lost as soon as you stumble up that stage and your clammy hands clutch that certificate. With a deep breath you realise that now you have a choice.

Sage Smudging 101
Sage is a sacred plant that was widely used among Indigenous Americans in spirit and energy practices over 2,000 years ago. I always heard of sage and its uses to clear out negative energies and set intentions for positives energies to flow into a space and after doing some research I decided to do a sage smudging of my own. From my research, I learned that the burning of the sage sticks and the smoke it creates acts as a vacuum to dispel and release negative energy from a home, office or intended creative space. I purchased my sage from The Phoenix and the Dragon bookstore here in Atlanta. The shop is a good resource for beginners and the employee who checked me out noted that after I burn the sage I should do something I enjoy because this invites in the positive energies I wanted to create. There are different types of sage and each is said to be used for different purposes and I chose the white sage. The most interesting fact I learned about sage smudging was from a Chopra.com article revealing that the goal of the ceremony is to clear the space of lingering energy that is "different from what you may be intending for that space." That confirmed that a sage smudging was a good way to kick off my new year and new outlook on how I will reach all my goals this year.

The Four Stages of My Interests
I have a lot of interests, most of them I do and most of them I would like to do. I have a huge passion for story writing and creating videos, but I didn't manage to go far with those passions. I have four stages when it comes to interests. Observe, experiment, practice, and act. It's an unconscious thing for me, but I was aware of the routine I have done every time I have an interest.
