The app for independent voices
I had a feeling you needed this peaceful beauty in your life today. I know I did…
The Loneliness No One Talks About
No one warns you about the loneliness that comes with growing.
The silence when old friendships stop fitting, but new ones haven’t formed.
The ache of outgrowing places, conversations, even versions of yourself.
Growth is beautiful, but it can also be isolating.
Keep growing anyway. You’ll find your kindred spirits.
A PERSONAL SHARE
I have one subscriber who reads a single chapter of my book every week, than emails me every Sunday morning with his feedback.
He's 75, and has no idea how to use the Substack app. He will never see this note.
It makes my entire week when I get his email. He is a wonderful soul, funny and lovely, and he keeps me moving forward.
How do I even repay that?
You made it, you own it
You always own your intellectual property, mailing list, and subscriber payments. With full editorial control and no gatekeepers, you can do the work you most believe in.
Imagine if social media closed everyday at 5pm like a shop;
We would all be forced to meet up and speak to each other in real life, to be present with our families, to go outside, to create something new or to read, or to simply just be with ourselves.

I just found out that people accuse writers who use em-dashes of using ChatGPT — and I’m shocked!!
I love using em-dashes (—) as much as I love using semi-colons (;), and colons (:), and hyphens (-), and parenthesis (()), and exclamation marks (!), etc
Em-dashes (—) are perfectly dramatic and I love them. No em-dash user slander shall prosper
Thes criminals are getting away with murder! Israel has been killing Palestinians and harvesting their organs for decades. Palestinians mums found their dead children anf young men with operations in their bodies and they were adamant that they never had operations, they were healthy young men and healthy children. Israel is the biggest terrorist in the world, supported by another bigger terrorist in the world; USA! No accountability.
