Writing is an act of resistance. They want us to be machines—delegating tasks to artificial intelligence, working all the time. But we must take care of our own time, avoid cognitive sedentarism, and remember: we are still human. When we write, we create memory, we extend ourselves through time, we leave a piece of who we are behind.My invitation is for you to write. To put yourself on paper. To meet others through what only you have to say. To let writing become your superpower.What story will you tell today? Daniela Arrais is one of Martin’s mothers.
