Author, Read Thyself. Top Story - February 2024.
Author, Read Thyself D. A. Ratliff I grew up in the South, where “little white lies” were uttered daily. The “My, you look lovely today—love that color on you.” Or “I swear, that’s the best shrimp and grits I ever ate.” Or my favorite, “It’s so good to see you.”

Why Life Seems to Speed Up as We Age
As a child, the anticipation of waiting for my favorite TV show, Sharon, Lois & Bram, to begin felt like an eternity. Each minute stretched on endlessly until the theme song finally chimed through the speakers. But as the years have passed and I've grown older, time seems to have picked up its pace, racing by at a dizzying speed. This phenomenon isn't unique to me; it's a sentiment echoed by many, a universal agreement that time accelerates with age. But why does this happen? Is it merely a trick of perception, or are there deeper scientific explanations behind the apparent acceleration of time as we age?

In a recent experimental study aimed at exploring the depths of human behavior and the aversion to boredom, participants were subjected to an intriguing scenario. They were placed in a room devoid of distractions, armed with nothing but a button that ominously promised a shock upon pressing it. Their task? To entertain themselves with their thoughts, with the option to administer the shock upon themselves if they so desired. What ensued from this seemingly simple setup was a fascinating revelation about the human psyche.

Proud ViM,'Top Notes'
Our world has faced challenges many times over the course of its charred and destructive history. There have always been people and forces of evil with ill intent; bound by the dogged arrogance that their opinion and beliefs should be set upon the world. As we collectively, or rather those in the echelons of power, never seem to learn, the minions amongst us are invariably left holding the shattered glass of humanity. Bearing the consequences in our souls.

Classifieds: The Ad Collab (Unofficial Challenge)
The Call to Creators Has Been Answered! This past month eight fantastic and unique writers have participated in my unofficial challenge here on Vocal: “The Ad Collab”. “The Ad collab” is a challenge born from my desire to generate an opportunity for creatives to connect and collaborate.

And I wanted to be a part of it coming even closer together. Thus, “The Ad Collab” was born.
