Do I find myself being a reply guy sometimes? Yes.
Does it brings me joy whenever my friends or someone unexpected replied to my stories? Yes.
Would you still reply to their stuff if you genuinely donât give a shit and they uninterest you but not to the level you mute their content? No.
So why not? We talk down ourselves so often let me lift you up , one âhell yeahâ âLFGâ at a time

Last night at a bar while talking up a band I love I caught myself putting a separate but related band down. On the way home it bothered me that I did that, and itâs still bothering me this morning. I wish I had just focused on the thing I liked and the things I like about it rather than putting down the thing I donât. It didnât make my point any clearer and it didnât make me feel good.
Weâve made such a currency out of putting things down, I wonder what would happen if we all spent a week only talking up things we like and left the things we donât alone. We might sleep just a little better.
P.S. the thing I like most about this space is that itâs built to support exactly this type of thinking and sharing.

been running my newsletter project for a few months now - it makes basically no money and takes up a ton of my time, and iâve frequently considered dropping it due to the tight budgetary situation iâm in atm. i am always glad i choose not to, and the reason why is simple - it is a project that people like enough to tell me directly that they like it, and that gives me motivation to keep being creative in my life generally
big joel has this video where he says something along the lines of âitâs totally fine to make things because you think they will be popular, because youâre a human being and itâs natural to want to be recognized by other human beings.â of course you shouldnât cater your entire worldview and personality for the whims of others, but it is perfectly fine (and frankly necessary for your mental health) to, from time to time, make a thing primarily because you think people will like it. it will give you the necessary confidence for you to pursue the moonshot when the time comes

Thereâs something special and beautiful about documenting the moment your friends shine the most. When theyâre pouring their heart and soul making something a reality for them and youâre there to capture every moment around them.

A great way to properly ensure you have a robust tofu rotation is one in the freezer and one in the fridge.
Stop using the silly method of pressing them to draw the moisture out, when you freeze your firm tofu it forces the water content from the tofu cause you know, they froze.
So when you defrost them you will be left with a tofu block that has better texture, better consistency and little internal holes that soaks up sauce perfectly.
