Who is the Dark Prince? I'm contemplating who I'd like to be in the year ahead. There are signs of hope. The craving for a neo-2016 is in my mind, not nostalgia, but an intentional choice to lean towards the sunshine. Still, I think we are some ways out from optimism. And so I turn towards the 'The Dark Prince'. Someone who retains their emotional attunement, but is not so caught up by analysis paralysis that they can't act with conviction. There's been many discussions about what new masculinity looks like, this could be one of the new (old) paths.
