What's in trend will be outdated & the outdated one would be back in trend.
People will again start to realize the value of real experiences, thoughts & observations. These are the things that make a connection.
Lets apply the Warren Buffet philosophy here -
"Be greedy when others are fearful, be fearful when others are greedy."
It's our time to build for the future!
Beautiful quote!
Interesting take, I am really glad that platforms like Medium & Substack exists to help new writers such as myself reach out to a wider audience.
That's how it is.
