Letting Go of a Dream
Grace Cheng (she/her/hers), Low Entropy Volunteer Writer Dreams are often the driving force behind our ambitions. They light our way and ignite our passions. They inspire us to rise each day with intention, fueling our hopes for the future. However, life’s journey is not always straightforward, and sometimes we face crossroads that compel us to […]
Reaching the Swing
Daniela Silva, Low Entropy Volunteer Writer At 19, I got my first job as a gym receptionist. I was really excited; after all, I could finally go to university and pay for my bachelor’s degree in pedagogy. Until then, I had no experience dealing with the public, nor multitasking at reception. But since I wasn’t […]
I Miss the Girl You Were
Cristina Crescenzo (she/her/hers), Low Entropy Volunteer Writer I think it’s easier for me to admit that I miss others who have left my life in one way or another than to admit I miss the person I used to be. I don’t think we talk about that enough, missing ourselves. It is true that every […]
The Best Kind of Goodbye
Edo Somtoo (he/him/his), Low Entropy Volunteer Writer Not again, not today. It was a cold winter around the early ’80s, a time when life meant rugged determination and relentless hardship.

If you’re walking away from relationships that have become toxic or where growth has ceased, goodbye can be positive and heartbreaking at the same time. Goodbye can also […]
The Best Kind of Goodbye
Cassandra Di Lalla (she/her/hers), Low Entropy Volunteer Writer I’m a firm believer that our death is predetermined from birth. I was raised Roman Catholic, but I do not go to church. I believe that there is a higher power and that miracles do happen sometimes. I’ve always considered myself to be more spiritual than anything […]
In Years
Rowan Sanan (he/him/his), Low Entropy Volunteer Writer People entering and leaving our lives is as natural as a tide on a beach. We as people are always moving, changing and growing, so the relationships we have as kids in school quickly change later on in life. Those relationships can fall apart or drift away. Sometimes, […]
Leaving a Place
Chahbani (she/her/hers), Low Entropy Volunteer Writer It is never easy to leave or quit. What if we were leaving a place that had all our memories, laughter and sorrows in it? I knew it was going to be hard and, at some moment in time, the joy of a new journey was going to turn […]
