11/13/22 • 58 min

"The essence of travelling, the way I see it, is just going to a place that is unfamiliar. I have not met anybody who has been to every corner of Hong Kong." (Grospe, 2022)
Aljon Rae Grospe identifies as an introvert, and challenges himself to travel solo to Thailand for the summer of 2022. We talk about how "being wild" or behaving in a way that's not usually yourself can help you find your truest self. Take in the stories where we're at the mercy of strangers and being humbled by this world.

TR*UMA AND BREAKING ITS CYCLE ft. Malcolm | E16

"Since you have the freedom of doing other things, you don't have the freedom to look for yourself. You are subjected to do things that other people are doing." (Lang, 2023)
Malcolm Lang highlights the experiences where he felt (little t) trauma* - and wounds created from the "grind" culture in Hong Kong, the shift away from traditions, and the crowds in social media. We recognise how this focus on everything and wanting to be everywhere, all at once, affects the free (emotional) capacity left to contemplate on ourselves.

*Little t trauma refers to events that typically don't involve violence or disaster, but do create significant distress. For young adults, examples of small trauma might be a breakup, the death of a pet, losing a job, getting bullied, or being rejected by a friend group. (Newport Institute, 2022)
