Marilyn is the master of stories. She creates them, teaches them, and controls them. She is able to control her own story to reflect how she sees herself. She uses stories to mirror herself onto reality. She understands that stories come from our subconscious and uses that knowledge to empower herself and others. Talking with Marilyn reminded me of my old self—the playful, creative, and insightful
version that remained untainted by the increasing mechanization of the world. It was a self unbound by conventional thinking. The Word of the Day served as a gateway to a hidden map residing within me—a map guiding me towards the life I genuinely desire and showing the path to reach it. I firmly believe that our authentic desires and needs are often masked by often lie the weight of societal expectations. However, the WOTD provides a sanctuary where we can unearth these buried longings without fear of judgment. It establishes a profound connection between our conscious and subconscious, empowering us to transform our lives.
