My thought processes the last few days as I have been waiting to see if I will be consistent in following and reading your writing has been that as you have posted more, I wanted to partner with you in this endeavor. Instead of waiting to subscribe, I’ve decided to join in, subscribe now and take stock on a regular basis on all my subscriptions (HBO MAX, Apple TV for example) and see where I’m meaningfully engaged at those checkpoints. Instead of consuming, I want to be investing. You’re writing more, I’m making a point to engage with consistency. In this, there’s partnership. You’re my only Substack subscription and the one I’m committed to engaging with for however long the journey serves us. Thank you for taking the time to explore all of this as we step into 2025, I’m hopeful this will be a good change for us all.
Hi Julee! Thanks so much for your time, attention, and commitment here. I think a lot about what it means to have meaningful connection online, including with people who follow me on different platforms, and on here. Thanks for being in this community with us, and making time to comment and clearly think on what I write about. happy new year :)
I, too, had my list of websites I would check while on the computer in the computer room. My fixation included blogs from authors whose work I adored (The Clique series and Twilight series). I excitedly checked my mailbox for seventeen magazine, and loved engaging with the content by marking up the pages with my likes and opinions. There has definitely been some upsides to overconsuming content in the years of social media, but I am excited to filter my content to help inspire my own life I am living. It's the ecological balance of consuming and creating. I guess my small part in that is to create by commenting and engaging. Here's to commitment and putting down "roots."
the clique series is SO real. I also was an Avid 17 mag follower and would rip out pages i loved and keep them in a binder. Totally agree that theres pros to more access, AND engaging and being more thoughtful with what I consume has been life giving
