“I promise you can still make a beautiful life for yourself, even if you lost years of it to being sad”

This is my first read from Substack and I think I’m making this a nightly routine, instead of scrolling on TikTok.

LOVED your article. Thank you so much for sharing! The goal is “10,000” but if I can only do 8,000 I still achieved the goal. The goal of simply trying and showing up for myself. 🫶🏽

ME TOO! I saw a post about Substack on TikTok (ironically), and decided to give it a try. I really enjoyed this read!

I think my prefrontal cortex just developed too. I've really FELT it over the last few months. how nice it is to live purify ourselves from the "cures" for happiness imposed on us.

This has honestly opened my eyes to how much us, as a society, depend on tearing ourselves down in order to change. When in reality, all we have to do is be ourselves. Stop comparing each other to one another. Stop making everything a competition as to who lost more weight than the other. Maybe if we got rid of social media and went back to enjoying Mother Nature and what we have around us, we’d be happier.

girl, i feel you! november and december of last year was the hardest phase of using social media for me because youtube and tiktok were inundated by ‘how to make 2025 your best year’ and alikes. I’m super in love with new years, but I low key think these contents aren´t made for people who do not hate themselves, I mean, what if I don´t wanna repurpose my whole self?
