Challenge
I'm Dreaming of a Vocal 2024.
Hmmmm...so many plans...so many resolutions...which to choose? Maybe I'll just write about my number one goal! Here, on Vocal, I plan to be just that- more vocal! I’ve always used my words typed or on paper to express all the jumbled up shenanigans going on in my head. It’s one of the ways i'm able to make life make sense to me…a sort of therapy in and of itself. I have plans to document my journey as a first-time mother-to-be, navigating her mid-20s and learning what kind of love to give and what kind to participate in. The idea seems relatable enough as there are millions if not billions in the same place as me. I used to want my whole life to be centered around fiction to the point where it became hard to exist in real time as a real person. Now, I think it's time that I step away from the Fae and imaginary men of my dreams and fall in love with being alive again..to fall in love with my own story again. And to top it off, what better place to do that than Vocal+?!

The Disease Called Inspiration
The Disease Called Inspiration B Written By; Akil K. I think it's fair to say that every artist finds their own unique calling to the path of creativity. Within the many passions that could be considered artistic, generated from the unseen abyss we call the soul, comes a calling. Descending upon the uniquely styled mind is a perspective, and from this angle of perception is born inspiration.

My Writing Journey for 2024
Publish or perish. Although this phrase was birthed by academic writing, I don’t take this aphorism lightly. Writing is a vital component of the humanities, and the humanities endure, defining what it means to be human. I’ve always had a dream of publishing: at first it was a book of poetry, then perhaps a collection of short stories or even a novel. In Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar, Mark Antony says, “The evil that men do lives after them;/The good is oft interrèd with their bones” (Act III scene II). This line resonates with me; I don’t want to be remembered by the mistakes I’ve made in my life or by the mundane or morose anecdotes that may be passed down. After I watched the animated Disney movie Coco, I don’t want to be forgotten by my family.
