A Better World

I am unsatisfied with the default way we have been taught to view the world. I need to believe in something better, something more. I began this project to decide for myself what a meaningful life looks like. A Better World is an ongoing series exploring and reimagining the different aspects of life, with the goal of spending our days more thoughtfully, and with the purpose of making our tomorrows closer to our dreams of utopia.

Subversive

To not slay the dragon. To not be the hero. To change the quest from conqueror to explorer. To not save the world, just yourself. To build a better future by holding onto your dream of one. To apologize, and making sure to do it in person. To opening the doors of your home and making your family bigger every day. To look back, before you go, and make sure everyone knows your farewell isn't permanent. To tame the dragon and let the hero be the one who takes the leap of faith to jump out of the tower — so when they open their eyes, they're flying in the skies, traveling the world with you on dragon back.
