Listen "#27 Finding Ourselves"
Episode Synopsis
Should we really be looking for ourselves? Maybe this whole trying to find myself journey is a hoax and there’s a better way, but it’s hard to swim against the current when you don’t even know where you’re swimming to.
This episode is even more confusing than this description but it might all make sense in the end.
What's Memento Mori Lab?
Memento Mori Lab is our permission slip to experiment, try new things, and keep bringing ideas to life. In my case, that means writing mediocre poetry, some stories and scripts, doodling, and recording this podcast. Memento Mori reminds us, we are going to die. Whatever creative endeavor you've been postponing, now is the time to take action.

In a Box
I could fit just fine at first.
The box had enough room.
Me and my delusions.
But I grew a bit taller,
The box felt smaller,
Until I could no longer be.
I did what we all do,
Replaced it for a bigger one.
For me and more delusions.
I kept the memories in a shoebox.
Tokens of a well-lived cardboard life.
After years of changing boxes, I realized,
No matter the size, I'd always outgrow them.
None of them could last forever.
I would not last forever.
Why waste time on the perfect fit for a day?
I was never meant to be in a box.
Nothing will fit anymore and that's for the better.
