Stop. Listen. Did you hear that? Listen again. That is the sound of pure silence...and it certainly is a beautiful thing. Today, my world was quiet...was yours?
As my compatriot alluded to, no introductions are really necessary- our thoughts are fleeting, but these letters are eternal. Everything, and anything, goes. We hope you agree with our words, but far more than agreement, we hope what we say strikes a cord, perhaps makes you feel uneasy, uncomfortable. We won't be afraid to challenge you or each other...don't be afraid to return the favor.
I generally have a complete disdain for Starbucks, however one learns to make sacrifices in the name of hot chocolate- in this case, a venti signature hazelnut hot chocolate, no whip! (Translation: A 20oz. paper cup(20% recycled paper, excuse me) with chocolate powder, milk, and hazelnut(all apparently of the "Signature" nature), and please, for the last time, no whipped cream) Yet, little did I know, this Starbucks cup contained much more than overpriced hot beverage. Most don't associate wisdom with coffee, but my cup contained just that- a quote that not only offered great insight, but truly spoke volumes. "The irony of commitment is that it’s deeply liberating - in work, in play, in love. The act frees you from the tyranny of your internal critic, from the fear that likes to dress itself up and parade around as rational hesitation. To commit is to remove your head as the barrier to your life."
