    took on passion projects since I was young. Even though these people doubted me, I showed them. I had my passion lead my life, and had my heart on my sleeve”.

    few hundred dollars out of reach. Today, I find myself once again struggling with an entirely different New Year’s resolution. I made it my mission in 2017 to polish off a few of the projects that had dragged on over the last few years.

A play written by Sophocles circa 445 B.C., Antigone, depicts the tragedy of a young woman who stands firm against an obstinate new ruling force-her uncle Creon, in what was right by her family and her gods in antithesis to that which was
