Women Who Inspire
“Yukasama” is what I call her. Though I only refer to her by this name in my mind. And I’m sure if she knew this, she would give me that patient look, the same she gave me the one time I used this name with her in person, and would correct me again now, the same way she did then; “-san, not -sama.” In Japanese, the native language and culture of the woman I am writing about, the suffix “-sam” added after a name indicates the normal form and title “Mrs.” or “Miss.” However, add another syllable to the end of the normal form, making the suffix “-sama” at the end of a name, then the title of this person is raised by respect to mean something more along the lines of “sensai.” It’s a suffix title used to refer to those who are deserving of the utmost respect and status in Japan.

Unplugged - Fireworks
Put the phone down. While most choose to automatically whip out their phones and tries to take pictures of something beautiful that will fade all too quickly, I choose not to. Sometimes, you have to let life work its magic and allow yourself to be surprised and in awe of the wonders of nature. I take fireworks as an example - although you have seen fireworks displayed many times, we can coherently agree that not one firework looks the same. Therefore, when you witness something so beautiful and amazing, why not just be aware of your environment, company, atmosphere, and just enjoy the moment without giving in to the urge of constantly taking pictures. No matter how many pictures you take, you'll never be able to feel the same anyways, so just put the phone down. Instead, bask in the moment, don't miss any second of the moment, embrace the person you became prior to this moment, feel connected with those who are enjoying the moment with you, gives thanks that you are alive to experience this moment, and give a silent prayer to welcome even more moments like these in the future.

For this particular challenge about women who inspire, I chose to focus on someone very near and dear to my heart named Grace. She has shown me the importance of not only following you own dreams, but also supporting the ambitions of your spouse and children.

Jordan Peterson on Ideological Possession
“I’m not hearing what you think. I’m hearing how you’re able to represent the ideology you were taught. And it’s not that interesting because it doesn’t tell me anything about you. I can replace you with someone else that thinks the same way. And that means you’re not here. It’s not pleasant. You’re not integrating the specifics of your personal experience with what you’ve been taught to synthesize something that genuine and surprising, and engaging in a narrative sense as a consequence. And that’s the pathology of ideological possession. It’s not good“. -Jordan Peterson

storm after storm, calm after calm
It was the calm before the storm and the world was in motion. Then the storm hit. The world was dealt a blow and the economy crashed. Now I, like so many others, are a part of the “No Job Club”. Before this whole thing blew up in our faces, I was driving to work one morning at the start of a new year, already going through the motions like a zombie, and thought to myself, “This is starting to feel too normal, too calm.”
