I've always said, “I've never been all that great, I've only had the pleasure of meeting great people.” And once again that's held true. Recently I've been given this opportunity to work closely with some truly amazing people. Why are they amazing you ask? Because these people are creators who are passionate about their work. People with passion are interesting and I can't wait to share my passion with them because passion reverberates and becomes stronger.
So let's get down to business, with any group we need goals, ideas, plans, details and other cool words that make it sound like I know what I'm doing. I want you guys to be a group. I want us to be a dedicated unit of content creators. To do so we need a certain level of unity. I'd like us to operate together, read one another's works, and even write about each other.
Before I get down to how we do this, let me tell you why. Two months ago when one of my friends asked me to inundate myself with work I had no idea what I was getting into. I thought I would just ramble on for a few paragraphs and hope someone would read it. But now I'm here and I see the potential.
Information is important, we all see things every day and we have thoughts upon them. Our own personal take on the world around us. Now we have this medium where we can share this information easily. I'm not sure about you guys, but that is huge deal for me. Every article we write is us adding to a collective pool of knowledge that anyone can access. I can't wait to tell someone how listening to “Clarity by Zedd” allowed me to think clearly so I could write this. I wanna hear about what my writers think is our next step to fight climate change, or hear some of their great memories. I just plain wanna hear you guys.
There's a word I love called sonder. It basically means everyone has a story to tell. This platform lets us hear those stories, share them and even create them. People say things because they want someone to hear them. It's a childish statement but it means so much more. Everyone has a voice that wants to be appreciated and I would be honored to hear each and every one of yours so that even more people can hear and eventually share their voices. I wholeheartedly believe that is the first step for us to grow.
I can't wait to start hearing and then reading more from each and every one of you. I want to see us grow. After all, strength in numbers, and creative cooperation are both powerfully real. Let's share a story together and make it a great one at that!
