20S3: GUEST EPISODE | Coming Into Your Own, with DeepThinkingDaily a.k.a. Cic Mellace |
Description
This very special episode, we continue on the path of exploring the series of "I don't know how to connect with You, and here's why", as we connect with the owner of a very interesting Instagram page called DeepThinkingDaily - founded by Frank "Cic" Mellace.
It all started when Cic - after possibly years of posting only content from his page - had decided to post a picture of himself, explaining the work he's been doing with the DtD, and the new website that was just created (which you should for sure check out, here's a link: https://deepthinkingdaily.com/). We're so used to seeing these Instagram content pages be just that - content pages - that we forget the humans that are behind the work, in their own path of exploration of connecting to us on the other of our screens, to our narratives, to our snippets of fleeting attention.
Cic was so kind as to agree on this conversation - which quickly spiraled into some deep thinking. We talked about the effects of social media in this growing societal disconnect, a growing pattern of what we observed as a sort of illusion of connection and vulnerability, and most importantly, this path of coming into our own. These words really stuck with me - long after our conversation with Cic, I kept noticing patterns in how these words were coming to life, or I guess, how I was myself coming into my own, and what that truly meant to me in this path of growth and becoming. This, for sure, is another episode in-and-of-itself.
Cic left us with a note that leaves me hopeful he will return with new truths uncovered and unraveled as he reads a 10-year-old letter he wrote to his 30-year-old self (which he turns this spring!) when he was 20. I'm curious what this letter will reveal in his path of coming into his own self, as I'm sure this will leave a lot of you thinking the same.
The monthly newsletter (DTD Sundays), his book (The Humble Good), and additional DTD Originals can all be found on the website.
The daily quotes page is still run by Cic who plans to continue to share a wide array of quotes that will help us all think a little deeper.
