Healthy Ambitions
Reflecting on my first year at Vocal Last year, 2023, was my first year on Vocal. I stumbled upon it in December of 2022 after a few different writing YouTubers that I started watching recommended it in some of their videos. I checked out the website for a few weeks before deciding to join and posted some of my short fiction content. I also decided to enter several Vocal writing challenges because random prompts definitely helped my creative juices to flow.

Repairing Storefront Doors to Ensure Security and Accessibility
For any business, keeping storefront doors functional and attractive is essential. Broken glass, broken frames, or broken hinges can give the wrong impression and jeopardize the property's security. Storefront doors repair services are required to address these issues as soon as possible. Frequent upkeep prolongs the doors' lifespan and makes the workplace safe and accessible for both staff and clients.

Another Year of Writings and Ramblings
Truly understanding who I am as an artist is something that I’ve always struggled with. The nature of being a creative is that I dabble across the creative arts but the nature of society is that we're encouraged to stick to one thing, to have a clear identifier. We’re expected to label ourselves, to put ourselves into a box that makes it easier for other people to make sense of us, but as an artist, it can be difficult to understand and define the parameters in which you work because exploration, experimentation and fluidity are so instrumental in what it is that we do, so much so that those parameters don’t really exist at all.

Romanticisation And Trivialization Of Mental Health
Romanticisation And Trivialization Of Mental Health Romanticisation of mental health Generation Z has made it clear that they consider themselves one of if not the most open generation. This is not surprising as they grew up in the age of technology, with so much information at their fingertips. This allowed them to have different perspectives on issues at an early age, making them more likely to discuss them openly. Specifically, Gen Z has widened the gap between mental health and stigma, with 27% able to report their mental health as fair or poor (Bethune). Although the destruction of mental health is a big step forward, it also brought a new problem: the love of mental illness. For many, the internet has become a way to cope with their mental illness, allowing for open discussion on topics such as depression, anxiety, and eating disorders. However, the Internet has created a place for people to think about mental illness.
