The Philosophy of Happiness
In our daily lives, we constantly hear about the topic of happiness. Many people claim that they want to be happy, that they want to achieve happiness, or that they are unhappy. This leads us to reflect on the following questions: Is happiness an objective or subjective concept? Is there "the happiness" or does everyone have their own concept of what it is to be happy? Faced with these doubts, the tendency is to try to deny the existence of happiness. Dangerous temptation, because sometimes it is easier to deny happiness than to accept that it exists and recognize that we do not possess it... We are facing a borderline situation... little discussed and that is almost not reflected in our daily routine ... Have you ever stopped to think about what happiness is? Have you ever wondered why everyone wants you or believes in your existence?

Content writing after AI
Content writing is not an exception to the new era of innovation brought about by the quick development of artificial intelligence (AI). AI innovations are fundamentally changing the landscape of content production, delivery, and consumption. Content writers must navigate the complex interplay between human creativity and machine intelligence in this dynamic environment, where tradition and innovation coexist.

The Voice in My Head When I Write
Recently I have started paying much closer attention to the voice in my head when I write. If you are a writer you probably know what I am talking about, or maybe it’s different for you. For me, the voice is the one that reads the words (‘out loud’) in my head as they move from my fingers, through the keys, to my screen. Depending on the topic of whatever particular writing project I am tackling at the time that voice varies considerably. It moves in tone from haranguing lecturer to sarcastic asshole to gentle comforter, and everything in between. Of course finding the words to match the voice is the real trick, or is it the other way around really? The hard part is finding the voice, the right voice for the right application, and then channeling that voice to the page in a way that conveys what the spoken word can, but in (at least) one less dimension. Without the spoken voice and body language that goes with it communicating what you really want to convey, what you really think, can be what feels like an impossible task. The joy of writing for me comes on those few occasions when that task is managed effortlessly and the words on the page and the voice in my head align just so. When that happens the missing dimension(s) disappears, and it is like I am there in the screen with the words talking directly to the reader. Like I have left a part of myself on the page, an imprint of my actual presence, but without all the messiness that comes with physical interactions between strangers. I get to say my peace, the stranger (reader) can take it or leave it, love it or hate it. In either case I did what I set out to do, and they got stuck with a little taste of my voice in their head if only for a brief moment in time. Imagine living with that voice for your entire life. That would suck now wouldn’t it?

The Frog Journal
So, it's come to this. You're really going to make me do this, Vocal challengers? I wasn't going to enter this one, thinking I had burned all bridges to that mythical First self-driven scribble. But wait. I knew very well I had that green journal I wrote passionately in for about a week in February when I was nine, buried somewhere. Happened to be in a duffel-bag under my bed, so now I guess we're going to need to muster our patience and let a writer under thirteen Vocalize here. If only in spirit. I will provide a running commentary, not changing names and places, and it can serve as a Getting-to-Know Me piece, for those curious.

Always A Writer
As long as I can remember, I’ve been writing stories, but one of the first that I remember, was for our daily journal writing assignment in fifth grade. It was around Thanksgiving and I wrote about a turkey hiding as a rock so he wouldn’t be eaten. I didn’t have time to finish the story, as was par for the course for me. I wrote a lot of unfinished stories. Still do. But my teacher loved it. She encouraged me to finish it, and even pointed out my writing affinity to my parents. They didn't seem so impressed.
