We live in an era where nature is facing a slow and painful death by its enemy, the so-called materialism. I believe there is no better way to express the impact of plastic on marine life than relating a little memory of a fourteen-year-old girl from her experience of living an island life.

Mila
It was hard living in the slums. Everyday, people thrived on scraps, dirty water and very little money. Children were exposed to practically every disease imaginable yet still managed to survive. Girls who reached puberty were often married off early to ease their family's burden while young boys were forced to do labor. In the midst of all these hardships lived a girl. She was an innocent in body but her mind had known too much filth. She knew she had to be selfish in order to get away from this life. If it meant whoring herself to a man older by ages, then she would do whatever it takes.Complete

Our Excruciating Modernity
Our Modern world is excruciatingly flawed. This collection of short essays shares a 16-year-old's views on diverse aspects of Modernity, including social media's perverse effect on the self, the importance of nature, the alarming state of public education, or even death. First, you will find yourself confronted with critical revelations, thought-provoking ideas, and acute observations. Then, you will be inspired to develop your own intimate antidote to the many modernity-induced maladies we all suffer from, such as a sense of paralysing emptiness, the cynicism that stems from a deliberate exposure to overwhelming quantities of information, and the frustration of living in monochromatic megalopolises. But, ultimately, it is the "how" that you will remember, for this piece outlines some of the ways in which we can all, as contributors to, and members of, our present-day society, help build a world that favours living full and fulfilling lives whilst transcending the petty and all-too-human things that make up our existences.Complete
