I Miss Writing Before I Knew What Content Was
I miss writing before I knew what content was. Before every thought could become a caption. Before every feeling needed a hook. Before every sentence had to be useful, searchable, shareable or aligned with a strategy. I miss writing because something inside me was too loud to stay quiet. Not because it had a goal.

The internet should have emerged as something that would have the capacity to diminish the constant loneliness in human beings. But on the contrary, it displays this loneliness to the world and helps create even more superficial bonds. People talking to themselves on Twitter, chatting on sites with strangers, creating relationships that can be ended

What do you want to be when you grow up?
That’s the question that’s always on most teenagers’ minds. I’m 15, and every time I bring it up with my parents, they tell me I still have plenty of time to decide, but when you stop and think about it, that’s not exactly true. Think about it: this isn’t the kind of decision you can
