If you’d told me a few years ago that I’d be living on a farm with thirty other people—sharing everything from income to lasagna recipes—I would’ve laughed. It sounded like something out of a movie, or maybe a cult. But now, sitting on the porch of our farmhouse, I know it’s neither of those things.
Sure, people outside sometimes ask if we’re a cult. They imagine we’re some sort of brainwashed collective, repeating the same slogans and never letting anyone leave. That’s not how it works here.
Let’s be honest. We all do it. The scroll, the tap, the double-tap, the “just one more video.” Somehow, we went from people who occasionally checked our phones to people who basically live in them. Maybe you’ve noticed it. Maybe you haven’t. But here’s the truth: our phones are stealing our attention, our time, and honestly, a little bit of our joy—one notification at a time.

There’s a kind of love that doesn’t look like much.
It doesn’t come with big declarations or sweeping gestures. It’s not loud. It doesn’t arrive in a grand crescendo, tied with a bow and meant to be noticed. In fact, it often goes unacknowledged entirely—not because it’s small, but because it’s woven so seamlessly into the fabric of your everyday life that you stop seeing it for what it is.
It’s strange how you can sit across from someone you’ve known for years—someone who once felt like a permanent fixture in your life—and feel like you’re watching them through glass.
They’re telling the same jokes. Laughing the same way. Still using the same shorthand only the two of you understand. And yet… something has shifted. Not in them, necessarily. But in you.
I get it. Your phone is right there on your nightstand, buzzing away, just begging for attention. You wake up, roll over, and before your feet even hit the floor, you’re deep into a rabbit hole of Instagram, emails, and notifications. It feels like you’re starting your day by getting “caught up,” but in reality, you’re throwing yourself into a whirlwind of stress before you’ve even had a chance to breathe.

I’m just trying to find some reasons to not hate my own existence. But here we are. A couple days ago was my 43rd. My finances suck. I’ve been depressed most of my adult life but I’m just really sad right now too. There is a difference between sad and depressed and I’m both right now. And I don’t deserve to be either, I’m healthy, I still have all my limbs and digits thanks to modern medicine, and there are people who care about me, which makes the depression just feel like even more of a failure. I hope you feel better soon. I hope I do too.
