There's a life offline
(original song lyrics)
Birds fly high, through golden skies
Silence settles like a pause in time
Shadows falling on the tallest trees
We don’t see with our own eyes, we don’t think with our own minds
Reality is confined, in a screen that stays online
And the kids won’t learn to surf the waves they do that page to page
There’s a life offline
We all chase the things that we can’t hold
Share a like, to let them know your thoughts
Whatever happened to being young and free
Creating pillow forts and hide and seek
We’re all rushing through the golden years
Just always playing catch up ….
We don’t see with our own eyes, we don’t think with our own minds
Reality is confined, in a screen that stays online
And the kids won’t learn to surf the waves they do that page to page
There’s a life offline

A stolen kiss
I wasn’t sure if I dreamed this moment alive, but there was raw emotion in the way his hand disappeared between my back and carefully pulled me closer. He was very gentle in his touch, where he was more aggressive in the way he kissed me. I couldn’t help but keep my eyes half open, sneaking a guilty peek at him just to make sure that this wasn’t all a product of my imagination.

The Gen Z Entrepreneurial Revolution
It is hardly debatable that the world has always been run by a bunch of aging dinosaurs, mostly male, who refuse to allow the younger generation to bring about changes. Politicians and leaders everywhere refuse to release the reigns of creativity and leadership until they are dead or dying. It is time to give the young a chance to revolutionize and change the entire landscape of their existence. Those of us with one foot in the grave, so to speak, should wake up and realize that we are not the ones who will be living in the world in the years to come.
