"The constant desire for more possessions, money, and success can leave us feeling unfulfilled and unhappy. But what if the solution was counterintuitive? What if the less you wanted, the more you had?" - Rahul Anand

Thoughts on RESONATES
"In retrospect, the trip seemed to be a lesson in letting go. Letting go when you don’t want to; letting go when it hurts to do so, but it hurts more not to. It is ironic to me that it was on this trip that I found the locks. Isn’t a lock the opposite of letting go?" - Agnes

A promise, a wish, a mark, a thing we leave behind?

THOUGHTS on RESONATES

"The journey hasn’t been roses, daisies, rainbows, and butterflies. I’ve had a lot of ups and downs (mostly downs). This is because I find it difficult to write consistently every day." Kristen Na

THOUGHTS by RESONATES

"There’s a lot happening in my life and sometimes I do realize about the gravity of how everything around me just goes on and I am like totally casual and nonchalant about all of the chaos."
Rahul Anand

Ya I haven’t had much to do in a while. So..

Thoughts on RESONATES

"But now I don’t know what I want to do. My dream job doesn’t look so perfect anymore. The things I thought would make me happy, just don’t." Amber L.

I’ve always had my life planned out ever since I was little.

"Language shapes the way we see the world. The language we speak is like an explorer's toolkit: it gives us little magnifying glasses and brushes, cameras with different zooms and filters." Agnes

Do I have time in my life for ‘another relationship’?

Thoughts on RESONATES

"It’s just been one of those days. It happens sometimes. The daily challenges add up: the work proposal that gets rejected when you’re on a tight timeline, the friend who needs to cancel last minute, the text that goes unanswered, the meal you burn, the bank password you forget, the decision you made that you regret, even if you know regret is not productive." Agnes

“It’s just been one of those days,” I tell my friend, before I start listing all the things that felt like extra weight today. Thumbs fly

Thoughts on RESONATES
"We are born into the world a wide-eyed receptacle for whatever comes our way, and we are free to explore everything with a feeling of warmth and security we will know at no other time in our lives. As the years pass, the things that make childhood special slowly peel away, and we are left with whatever remnants of that time we can hold onto. What are those things that make the time of our childhood special that I miss?"

Here is what I miss about being a child

Thoughts on RESONATES

"How often do we say, “I’m fine” when we are, in fact, in agony? When the hurt is real, why are we so eager to deny or minimize it? Why do we keep our pain so private? We push it down and cover it up. Does it really require such modesty?"
Aabye-Gayle F.

They’re Nothing to Be Ashamed Of

Confessions on RESONATES.

"Upon reflection, there were a number of reasons why I didn’t fight back. My dad was strict, and hammered obedience into the mindsets of myself and my sister. I carried that with me to school."
Anthony Eichberger

One of the few physical fights I got into during K-12 school is one I keep replaying over and over again in my head

Thoughts on RESONATES

"My first reaction to this quasi-rant was, ‘are you kidding me? Are you so hard up for something to write that you’ve stooped to writing a rant about what people write in your comments?’" Pam Winter

I hope I haven’t offended anyone

Thoughts on RESONATES
"I managed to save $320 in $5 notes in my challenge, so that’s sixty-four five-dollar notes I had put away for the year and happily deposited back into my bank account travel savings." Karen Downton

Last year, I was inspired by a fellow medium writer's story of how he accomplished the $5 challenge. Vincent Teo wrote about the challenge
