The Warm Embrace of Self-Acceptance
The Warm Embrace of Self-Acceptance It takes years to build your trust but it takes a moment, a simple rustle of words through the air, a singular action that dwindles the faith we have in someone. Life has always had its flair of shedding and unwavering our realities with the ones we need to embrace, of robbing us of the sturdy land of certainty and plopping us into the ocean of the unknown, stumbling us into the blatant truth of existential being, making us learning the lessons the hard way. While we may fight it or fight through it, at its dimwits we ought to accept the gospel truth, nothing stays the same. Every breath we draw, every tear that we shed, and every smile we dance with, is permanent in its impermanence, it is so immortal and yet so fleeting. Though time and tide wait for no one, the imprints of our joy and melancholy, the life that we lead through the memories that we create through experiencing our mortality for the first and the last time, become infinite savouries and scars that we hold on to, that change us and shape the way we lead ourselves and charge through the world.

Boundaries
Boundaries are clear affirmations of your personal and spiritual truth. It could be creating space between you and another person who is taking too much from you. It could be saying “NO” when it resonates deeply with your soul. Instead of denying that gut feeling inside of you and saying a “yes” or a “maybe”. When we say no to something that doesn’t align with us, we are staying true to ourselves and our path.

What Do You Write?
Introduction In perusing Vocal media, I regularly see five types of content. This is not an inclusive list but a general overview of what I see commonly. In no particular order, they are Stories (fiction and nonfiction), Editorials, Informational articles, Poetry, and Advertising pretending to be informational articles. I suspect other platforms that host and promote user-generated content offer similar content.

The Pitfalls of Momentum Killers
FOMO (fear of missing out) and its counterpart, FOBO (fear of better options), stifle our momentum as we constantly compare ourselves to others and feel pressured to engage in activities, we believe we should be pursuing. However, the next generation of social media-driven acronyms introduces us to ‘JOMO’, or the joy of missing out.
