dream by design
with syreeta c
DREAM BY DESIGN IS A LIFE TOOL FOR PERSONAL, NEVER-ENDING, CURIOSITY.
THE PRESENT PREYS ON THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THEY MUST ACCEPT WHAT IS GIVEN. TO DOUBT WHAT THEY CANNOT SEE. TO GIVE UP BEFORE THEY BEGIN. THE PRESENT HAS CONDITIONED INDIVIDUALS THAT IT IS OKAY TO CHASE AFTER THINGS THAT THEY DO NOT TRULY DESIRE. TO BE ENVIOUS. TO BE UNFIXABLE AND UNFORGIVABLE. THE PRESENT HAS BEEN DESIGNED FOR THE SOLE PURPOSE OF DISTRACTION AND DIVISION. AND SO MUCH THAT WE MISS OUT ON OUR GREATEST POWER.
THE POWER TO CHOOSE. TO LOVE. TRUST. EXPERIMENT. QUESTION. MEND. TO KNOW OURSELVES DEEPLY. TO SHOW EMPATHY TO OURSELVES FIRST -AND THEN OUR NEIGHBOR.
DREAM BY DESIGN ENCOURAGES SELF-DISCOVERY THROUGH OUR THOUGHTS, GRACE, THE COURAGE TO CREATE, AND BEGIN AGAIN.
DREAM BY DESIGN MAKES ITS INTRODUCTION THROUGH LIVE EXPERIENCES ACROSS DISTINCT DISCIPLINED MEDIUMS AND CONCEPTS BY SYREETA C, CAREER FASHION DESIGNER AND EDUCATOR.
