"So many creators start in the shallow pool of some algorithm’s grip—until, inevitably, they go searching for something heavier. From short-form to long-form. From building in public to locking in to solitude, obsession, deep work. To create a book, a film, an album, a company—something that stands alone.
No matter how many you stack, Tweets and TikToks don’t add up to something heavy. They don’t solidify. At best, they’re a pile of snowflakes, intricate yet ephemeral. Beautiful while they’re here, gone before they hit the ground."

Just because a fire can burn, it doesn't mean we stop using it to cook. Most bad things have good elements. Most everybody you don't agree with has more things in common with you than not. It's up to you to find the good, and stop obsessing over the bad.

A few things or people I like and recommend
My friend Oonagh wrote Healthy As F*ck, a practical, funny book that helps people build healthy habits.
It’s been named one of Book Authority’s “Top 100 Fitness Books of All Time” and hit #1 on the Globe and Mail list, with thousands of five-star reviews. If you pay for the shipping, she'll send you a free copy.
Worth grabbing, she's awesome.
