Identity Masks – D19
Identity Masks – Day 19 30-Day Writing Challenge Identity is formed through one-on-one relationships, groups we’re a part of, and the interactions between these two.

Stories – Day 18 30-Day Writing Challenge We tell ourselves stories about who we are (identity), what we like (preferences), and how others see us (our masks).

Curiosity – D13
Curiosity – Day 13 30-Day Writing Challenge Maintaining a life of curiosity is difficult when the world is constantly telling you to “stay in your lane”.

Instead of constantly asking questions and following their curiosity, they’re taught to…

Balancing Habits – D12
Balancing Habits – Day 12 30-Day Writing Challenge I’m a person of habit, which some people envy, but there’s always a negative to every positive.
