I hear ya. I used to worry about something constantly. The minute the worry was dispatched with another would show up just to fill the void. I used to catastrophize constantly. With the idea that if I was always worried that I would always be prepared for the worst. Then came Oct 2022 when my daughter came within mins of dying after giving birth to my grandson. This was something that I never even believed was possible and never ever worried about. Thank God she lived but it was touch and go. That was my worst nightmare come to me when I least expected. No amount of worrying would have prevented it. It was then that I realized that my constant thinking about the worst case scenario was robbing me of my enjoyment of the present and I just stopped doing it. I no longer have the energy to create that kind of hyper surveillance. I’m just grateful every day. I’ll
Rhrett Miller and the 97s will stomp a mud hole in your heart and you’ll be better for it. Opportunities to express gratitude always come on time, but we almost always find out after the fact. Real music from real people. Find out for yourself, you won’t be disappointed.
This is awesome to see that others care about not using their phones for life responsibilities. It is our responsibility to have safe sex under the confines of marriage where love is infinite by God and unconditional. It's rare and takes real-life effort. This is ordained by God himself as love: to be in covenant love with one another. This takes real-life effort. Relationships take real-life effort to maintain and uphold in love, in integrity, in high-value. This is why it requires all of you and not your phone.
"Honey, If I give you the money, will you set up my Tinder profile?" 😂 Sorry, still laughing... Wish I could figure out how to edit comments on Substack!
Lovely edit! This whole 'colours' thing... Need to dig into that!

Let the rest of the world sort itself out ❤️
Just wrote about the State of the Film Union 2024, check it out :) https://open.substack.com/pub/stanleynolan/p/state-of-the-film-union-2024?r=7d2b&utm_medium=ios
Love seeing the latest round up! I wrote about how everything this spring is $6,553 at a bare minimum - https://performanceplan.substack.com/p/nipples-for-spring
I was nervous to post this one, pretty personal, but also part of my life just think a lot of people can relate to this: https://stevesemken.substack.com/publish/posts/detail/140801187?referrer=%2Fpublish%2Fposts%2Fpublished
I write about the famous 1945 VJ Day photo The Kiss and the effort to ban it and the unbanning of it and the anti-woke crowd losing its freaking mind about the whole damn thing. Find it here: https://open.substack.com/pub/bradross/p/wake-me-up-before-you-go-woke?r=1i9ti&utm_medium=ios
Loved the selection!
I also wrote about smartphones recently: https://handpickedberlin.substack.com/p/who-else-wants-to-cut-their-screen-time
The first article was offensive. The writer's credits...NYT, GQ, Atlantic, etc which should have given you pause, unless you're controlled opposition.
I just posted a review of Noah Baumbach’s ‘The Squid and the Whale’: https://open.substack.com/pub/themaplemoon/p/movie-review-the-squid-and-the-whale?r=k9fyk&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=true

perfect alingment of article with the picture. Thanks
"What I really want for myself and everyone else is to just use my phone less." This is what I've been focusing on.

Great list of articles, the 5th (Two Truths and a Lie) was the one I enjoyed most. 😊
Hi dear how are you
