When I Grow Up

From a young age, we are bombarded with the question “What do you want to be when you grow up?” The older we get, the more mature and serious the question becomes. “What do you want to do with your life?” people begin to ask. As we navigate our emergence from adolescence, we are simultaneously […]

A new generation //

Like glass, shattered. Like paper, torn. Like bones, fractured. This is the state of our Nation.
