A salve in the noise

You may need attention, but you don’t need gross attention.

Folks are feeling increasingly interrupted/disrupted when on their screens.

It’s tiring.

No wonder people get addicted and have a growing resentment toward being online at all.

So if you’re going to join the noisy part of their screen time, be a safe haven. Make it worth their while. Be a salve. Be a small relief, something that makes them think, “Oh gosh, thank goodness I found something valuable and enjoyable, rather than just empty calories and hype”.

It’s okay when they don’t like or comment. They’re tired.

It’s okay when they don’t subscribe or click. They’re tired.

Just show up enough for them to notice the relief you’ve created. Something better, something for them. They’re tired, but they’ll be so thankful you did.
