Episode Notes

Today’s poem reflects something that’s been on my heart—the paradox between “tomorrow isn’t promised” and “there’s no rush.” As a young person with dreams, this is difficult to navigate at times, especially since I’ve personally experienced the deaths of several young people in my life, and we’re witnessing mass youth death across the globe.

With this in mind, I’ve caught myself asking: how dare I take my time with a project that might be needed yesterday. But I also know that intentionality, thoughtfulness, and patience are deeply essential responsibilities. And they require space and rest. This poem walks between these lines, even though I don’t have an explicit answer. I hope you enjoy it.

Here's a snippet:

But I do know, at just 25, that chasing dreams demands delay if we rush— if we believe that we’re only worthy of them if we witness their birthright inhale faster.
