Just over this past year I’ve fallen in love with three things: spoken word poetry, audiobooks, and Ted Talks. If you took a look at my unorganized folders on Youtube you’d find loads of talks given by people I admire and total strangers that I’ve never even heard of. I’ve learned so much about the lives of many people around the world I would’ve never know otherwise. It connects you, teaches you, and shows you that your not the only one with these questions and ideas. Here are a few of my favorites you should check out (I’ll leave a link below so you can give them a listen anytime).
