🎭 May's challenge: The archetypes

Rebeca Valverde -

Humans are more than atoms, we are stories. Stories fascinate us, determining how we understand the world and ourselves. In addition to creating stories, humans are experts at finding patterns.

Carl Jung, one of the most influential psychologists in his field, believed that humans not only have an individual unconsciousness but also a collective one built by our stories. Jung created a category called Archetypes, which are characters that we can find in our society that respond to the collective unconscious. The archetypes are character models which help to shape our personalities, and we all have a little bit of every one of them.

This challenge is very special, as you will get to know yourself better while creating a great song.
