ourselves out of that story.
~ Adapted from Patrick Rothfuss, The Name of the Wild

Builds sense of identity
You can take my life, my mind
too.

heart.
I’m giving it to you.
But the one thing you will never
get is my pen.
Because without it,
I am nothing.

You were not expected to
aspire to excellence;

peace with mediocrity.

Social change
“I think social change can come from any direction. Creative expression can be spread globally, which means it goes beyond culture, generation, gender, religion, and location.
Creative expression doesn’t say ‘you should do this’ but it makes people think ‘I can do something’—it leads to social change.”
—Saori Miyagawa, Adobe Youth Voices Facilitator
