Hello there. If you've noticed, I haven't uploaded an episode here since November... there's a reason for that and in this update, I go a little more in-depth explaining my lack of activity here based on what's transpired these last few months.

On today's episode of Speaking Life, we move towards the realm of Japanese animation to discuss the anime Vinland Saga. Filled to the brim with chaos, rage, purpose, and self-discovery, this anime is one that has impacted the way I think about the past and how I perceive others. Spoilers will be present here, and just for the heads up, there will be mentions of death, murder, blood, and sexual assault.
