All That We Are

<p>I’ve been thinking about all that we are in this modern world. Then I thought to write a poem about the poisonous pot of social media, narcissism, and not being present in nature while recording myself not being present in nature for social media.</p><p>Because we are a species of contradictions.</p><p>A tangle of desires and denials</p><p>We say one thing, do another.</p><p>Preach humility, crave recognition</p><p>We ache for authenticity,</p><p>then filter ourselves into brands.</p><p>We sell self-love in neatly packaged courses</p><p>taught by those who only love their reflection.</p><p>Like the shoeless, bright-teethed white guy</p><p>with tribal tattoos, who’s all like</p><p>ā€œI’ll help you unlock your authentic self</p><p>with this with a twelve-step module for $499ā€</p><p>I can mock.</p><p>But when I think of him as a boy with a dad</p><p>who yelled, ā€œYou’re a worthless s**tā€</p><p>I cannot.</p><p>Narcissism—capitalism’s bottomless resource,</p><p>supplied by loneliness, demanded by egos.</p><p>They say, ā€œBe yourself.ā€</p><p>But which self?</p><p>The one shaped by love? Culture? Trauma? Fear?</p><p>We are not singular,</p><p>we are multitudes, opposing forces</p><p>warring beneath our skin.</p><p>We pretend at certainty, purity</p><p>We demand an answer where none exists.</p><p>Like the woman who says, ā€œWe’ll explore the answer</p><p>with your birth chart,ā€</p><p>I can mock.</p><p>But when I think of the woman grasping</p><p>at her last bit of hope</p><p>I cannot.</p><p>To be human is to hold paradox</p><p>To know that the good and the bad</p><p>are woven together</p><p>That the demons can possess</p><p>But only if you can’t confess they’re there.</p><p>But what is the point in me saying all this?</p><p>We chase meaning in a world that owes us none.</p><p>We break ourselves against illusions,</p><p>then blame the glass.</p><p>We romanticize the escape.</p><p>An ā€œof-the-grid-sustainable lifeā€</p><p>that could never sustain all humans.</p><p>Civilization, for all its sins, is where</p><p>diversity plays.</p><p>But again, what’s the point in me saying all this</p><p>as I walk through what I should be part of.</p><p></p><p></p><p>Somewhere in that silence is all that we are.</p><p><strong>Born Without Borders </strong><strong>is a reader-supported guide to building bridges across divides, cultural psychology, and how to salir de las fronteras que impone tu mente.

How do You Build Global Connections?

<p>Before we get into the article, here's a quick note: I’m starting classes and courses where I mediate discussions with people across the ideological spectrum. We find common interests and goals to build bridges across divides. Send me a DM or respond to this email if this interests you.</p><p>Who do you share goals with? How many of those people differ in ideology or belief system? And how the hell do you make it work?</p><p>I work on a shared goal with several dozen people every week. They come from all over the world, and no matter their culture or opinions, we connect.</p><p>A shared goal is the first step to bridging divides, but you must find common interests to stick together. Fortunately, I’m interested in just about everything except the Kardashians, so creating connections is easy. That doesn’t mean there are no disagreements, though. They’re crucial to our shared goal of improving their English.</p><p>Contrasting ideas get people talking, and that’s exactly what I need my students to do. That’s what we all need to do. If we want a future where collaboration overcomes conflict, we need more people talking and listening, not just in English but in the universal language of curiosity and compassion.</p><p>Here’s Where You Come In</p><p>And where I plug in my website, <a target="_blank" href="http://englishforglobalcitizens.com"><strong>englishforglobalcitizens.com</strong></a>. </p><p>Teaching English and cultural competency is not just how I make a living. It’s how I put into practice everything I write about. I help people from all walks of life—and they help me—gain tools to connect across cultures and borders.</p><p>When you’re in my class, the world’s not as divided as it seems on the news. It’s even less complicated than it looks in some of my articles. The truth is, above all, people want to be heard and listened to. If you can make that happen, a lot of the other cultural know-how can take a step back. </p><p>When you share my site with someone who needs classes—or who knows someone who does—you’re not just helping Born Without Borders; you’re helping build bridges across divides. </p><p>Building global connections isn’t always easy. There are language hiccups, cultural faux pas, and days when even I can’t remember how to explain the difference between "lie" and "lay." But it’s worth it because every connection and shared laugh creates a little less division in the world. </p><p><strong>English for Global Citizens</strong></p><p><strong>Building bridges across borders.</strong></p><p>šŸ“ Cambridge exam prepāœļø Essay writing & storytellingšŸ—£ļø Public speaking & presentationsšŸŒļø Cultural competence & business English🧠 Evidence-based study techniques & psychologyšŸ’Ŗ Fitness & health coaching (learn a language in a flow state)</p><p><strong>My Teaching Style</strong></p><p>We learn languages to communicate, and we communicate to connect, so why do so many people leave an academy unable to give presentations, send emails, and tell jokes?</p><p>Many teachers lack the cultural, psychological, and business expertise to prepare you beyond the exam world. While I use CEFR and Cambridge materials to gauge levels, my lessons adapt to your needs and how English evolves across cultures. I’ve helped nearly 100 students pass exams, but if your sole goal is a certificate, I’m not the teacher for you. I’m here to create connections and experiences.</p><p>Language learning isn’t one-size-fits-all. Some prefer rules first, while others learn naturally through conversation.
