This Isn’t Really About the Internet

The scroll I’m talking about is the one on my phone, and yours.

I started this newsletter because, like a lot of people, I found myself losing time, energy, and even parts of my identity to the feed. I didn’t want to disappear. I just wanted to be more present.

I’m creating this space for people who still show up online, but want to do it on their own terms. You don’t have to throw your phone into a ravine and run off to the woods to live in a yurt (unless you want to). Technology can be useful. Technology can be incredible. But handing over your agency to it without thinking about it isn’t.

I’m wrestling with that, and I imagine you might be, too. That’s what I write about.

I share reflections on attention, creativity, digital life, work, and what it means to stay human in a world increasingly built to distract, optimize, and automate us. This newsletter is really about awareness — about noticing what’s shaping us while we’re busy living our lives.

It’s about asking questions and not always liking the answers.

It’s about paying attention to where your time goes.

It’s about embracing imperfection because that’s where most of the interesting things actually happen.

This space is for people who want more agency and less autopilot, and who appreciate real writing from a real human trying to figure this out in real time.

P.S. If you’re wondering if this is a religious thing…

It’s not. Here’s why.
