Great stuff, Asmita. I think once we step away from social media/our phones (even during a vacation where we have no reception) we kind of kick the habit, or get perspective on it. Then the goal is to keep that going. I also think getting older, we give less fux and get bored easier. Priorities shift, and that screen holds less allure. Twitter is dead (RIP), Facebook is all algorithm, Instagram is annoying. At least there's the 'stack. And, at least here, there's talented writers we can enjoy and learn from. It's less of a waste of time. xo

Thank you so much for the kind words.
I could not agree more on stepping away and gaining perspective on the habit/addiction. AND YES! The less fucks part. oooo I love that so so much.
I am very appreciative of the wonderful folks here on Substack and the beautiful conversations I have been able to partake in. :)
