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.

Repair

Broken things litter my life — reminders of all the mistakes I’ve made and the consequences of my carelessness. Guilt would quickly cloud my mind for my clumsy fingers or my coarse actions. Though justifications sprung up of accidents, good intentions, and insignificance, I still found broken things in my wake. But what I’m proud of of late is gathering those broken things and turning them into some form of art, not rushing to discard my history, but to embrace it in something sort of beautiful. Maybe it's in my nature to be destructive, but it's also in my nature to make an attempt at amends.
