This was such an eye opening read! I appreciate your vulnerability and taking us behind the scenes of what your life looked like. I've never read anything like this!
It's so interesting how so many of us are stepping back from influencing and basically staging our lives. Not to say we were lying in the first place, but we were embellishing our routines and making them more complex just for the sake of an audience that of course wants novelty! I mean, I'm a consumer myself of "content" and I like variety, I won't lie.
I've even considered if I want to continue writing on Substack or not. If I step back enough from the internet and only make Substack my once a month thing... will I ever want to come back at all?
Right! What are we doing because we just don't know how to stop? It's been humbling to recognize how not present I've been in the simple moments because I couldn't turn my influencing brain off. Feels so great to shut it all down!!

Thanks, Owen!! Pretty niche experience, but I think we can all relate to a little part of it! Appreciate you reading.
