(Note: there is nothing motivational about this post, it's more of an honest conversation.) Sometimes I wonder about a time before the internet boom happened, a time when phones were dumb, and humans were well... almost the same as they're today.  A time when YouTube didn't exist, a time when motivational videos were delivered live at the beginning of our classroom lecture by our beloved teacher, A time when they used to share their life story with the whole class & tell us about the struggles they faced and how they overcame all of it fiercely, while we as kids used to get transported into that "wow" state while listening to them.
