It hurts being alone in a world that doesn't accept you.
It hurts feeling alone around the people you care about the most.
It hurts when you're ignored or told to be silent.
But what hurts the most is the fact that you listen to them. You be silent. While you should be loud. Raise your voice. You are a lion not an ant. Roar like you were meant to. Show them that their words can't hurt you. Be the one who spoke. Be the one who stopped them. The one who spoke up when speaking was not an option. The one who defied everyone's expectations and rose above.
Be the one, who spoke.

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.

Gossamer
"Murray! Wake up!" He loved that period between waking and dreaming. To him, it was like entering another dimension; more of a dreamscape than dreaming itself. There was an otherness to it that he wanted to grasp and yet deeply respected the fact that it could never be his totally. This is what gossamer was; flighty and light, a wisp of smokiness, an idea suggested but not fully revealed, a slit in cloth, a copse in the wood.
