Spending the day
Watching the rain fall
Tired of being sad
Tired of wanting to do nothing
Nothing at all
I’m not hopeless
I’m really just tired
I’ve learned
It’s the way my brain is wired
I won’t spend the rest of my days
Watching the rain fall
I’m getting up
Moving my body
Giving it my all
I’ll get out of bed
I’ll pick up my friends calls
I won’t be spending the rest of my days
Watching the rain fall

A More Human Vocal
When we launched Vocal nearly a decade ago, the world was a very different place. LLMs did not exist, and stories were created one at a time by people sitting down to write, revise, and share something personal. Many of our assumptions about publishing, trust, and participation were built for a world where effort and output were inseparable.
