Hey Taylor. Yes, some of this resonates with me. One thing that I am always reminded to do is be me. Be my authentic self. This means I may give unwanted advice to someone and it may annoy them but it comes from a good place and from my heart. I know what I am saying is true and if nothing else, it will plant a seed and this may help that person in the future.
Your job is just to be you. Don't worry about what other think etc. And regardless of what you write and how it is perceived, your likes and comments are always helpful to get them more attention.
Do you know that I copied this from the bottom of your posts and added it to all of mine because it is so cool:
P.S. I’d love to hear from you! Drop a comment or restack the post if you think it will resonate with someone you know!
Just do what you love. I love how you have realized that weed does not serve you. Remember that you are a powerful being and you won't get sucked into Substack world.
I wasn't sure which place to comment on such a lovely and kind comment.
That is such a beautiful way of looking at it. I am always hesitant to give any advice, as I don't want them to be like, "wtf do you know, lady?" ESPECIALLY when the person is older than me. But clearly, I just need to get the fuck over that.
You are so correct Colin. I really need to embody the IDGAF attitude and just start doing me. And just be me.
I literally had no idea! That is so fucking cool! I LOVE that you use it!!!!! 😍😍😍
Me fucking too. The lack of weed has given me a sense of empowerment I didn't know I had or needed.
Thank you for always being such a supportive pillar in my life!
The older I get, the more I realise how many people are just trying to survive and do their thing. Very few people have it all figured out and some of those are just lying to themselves 🤣
But you’re very welcome and thank you. I’m honoured you consider me a supportive pillar. ☺️
Remember that weed and alcohol are government weapons to keep you subdued and being a free thinker. They could never control a population of free thinkers. It’s empowering not to rely on drugs or alcohol but pretty much socially unacceptable. Just an opinion 😇
Yep this resonates on a few levels with me. Particularly the whole Substack is a social media that is not a social media conundrum. I found Notes exhausting and literally was getting nothing back in terms of subscribers or anything. So I've largely stopped Notes except the odd restack of people's work. I don't have the time, patience or interest in it as it is like other social media and I don't particularly like them either. I like you am focusing on what I enjoy and what fits with being a full time worker, father, husband and someone who likes to do a bit of excercise and get a good sleep. Doesnt leave a lot of time really. Thanks for sharing and keep at it - I've always enjoyed the humour and honesty you bring to your work. Also the cold plunge resonates literally got out of mine 5 minutes ago and have shivery fingers! Take care.
Literally yes to all of what you just said JFT. Have you found that focusing on just doing it your way to still help keep the momentum going?
Being a human in charge of humans does not leave much time in your day for you to do the things you HAVE to do just to live lol like you, after work, and exercising, feeding my kids nutritious food, and making sure we all get enough sleep.... I'm left with like 90 mins.
It's challenging for me because I refuse to give up the things that do make my life better but take up time. Like cooking real food, actually cleaning my house, going to the gym or any exercise really, and getting enough fucking sleep. I'm not a fun human if I don't get enough sleep. Like we are talking a bitch raised from the dead lol 🤣🤣
I don't have an issue lurking on notes and restacking people's shit. I feel like if I had ever been a Twitter person, that is probably what I would do there too 🤣
Thank you for such a kind compliment ☺️ I will keep being me!
🤣🤣🤣 you know what though, I was once in the group who thought cold plunges were cray, but now... i get pissy if I don't get to do mine 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Tbh I look for new free subscribers- not even paid yet. I don't think I have had more than about 5 from Notes total. Most come from recommendations, comments on other Substacks, and shares of my articles. So I figure keep writing, sharing and commenting and ignore all the 5k Like notes other people seem to get as that ain't my experience!! I agree too I am not gonna stop excercise or cold swims or meditation- I would rather stop substacking than that. Cheers and take care

I know this… remembering it is the tricky part lol

Ugh you're so fucking right!!!! Why have I NEVER looked at it that way! Thank you!!!
I’m always here for you Taylor ❤️❤️☺️
