Explore the Agora
Here are all the readings and links I've discussed thus far. An agora is an open public space that originated in ancient Greece, primarily known as a marketplace or gathering spot for citizens. Imagine a vibrant hub of activity where people traded goods, exchanged ideas, and engaged in lively discussions about politics, philosophy, and the latest gossip—the kind of place where you could pick up a fresh loaf of bread while debating the merits of Socratic reasoning.
These are actually my own personal notes from lectures in college. The professor would ramble about a topic, and you truly had to listen to everything bit in order to understand. Good thing I had an iPad. I was studious!

This is the original text of the story about love. It is a bit hard to read since it is written in very Old English. But don’t worry I got you! I highlighted, annotated in the column of my personally favorite moments. My interpretation should be taken with a grain of salt, you can form your own opinion.

From the same situation as Descartes. Luckily, I learned about these old men in previous classes so not only was it review but also got to learn new side/views of how to look a their work.
This is the original thesis of his work so, it is science-y and old fashion in that way. However, it was a fascinating read about beauty in the eye of the beholder.

Out of all of them, this is my favorite read because it is a bit on the easier side and just mind blowing as to her connection and studies done. I feel in love instantly!

Looking for new music? I got you! Each week, I drop a new song into this vault, handpicked to match the vibe of my latest editorial. I love tracks with meaning, a funky beat, and the kind of groove that gets you moving—whether it's a head nod, a full-on dance break, or just a song that lingers in your mind all day. Music sets the mood, tells a story, and sometimes says what words can’t. So, take a listen, discover something new, and let the playlist do the talking!
The most courageous act is still to think of yourself. Aloud.
