​What is the topic of discussion?

​We have all been a part of a group, community, or idea, exchanging our purpose with each other and with intentionality. Ranging from what we had for breakfast, to how are snooze button on our alarm clock is the best invention ever created, to the tonality of Alexa or Siri while having an informative conversation.

​Small daily stories add up to overall understanding and involvement with others that capture the essence of our interactions with humanity. It is sentiments built towards our routines and occupations, for the growth within our relationships, and within even mundane tasks that we all have our views towards within the practice of co-existence.

​These micro-stories that we have and engage with are highly personalized and universal, but surprisingly self-specific. Choices within these narratives speak two languages. One that is our own, and one that is the world's view today. By learning about and contextualizing these micro-narratives, we can integrate macroeconomics within our thinking, solve the pieces of missing puzzles, and implore the curiosity it takes to adopt the world around us. These stories are the philosophical views, identities, and individual choices that comprise life's meaning.
