Living in the Scroll
Holding On to What’s Real in a World of Noise
It feels like there are three kinds of people right now: those who care deeply, those consumed by anger, and those who’ve checked out completely. Most of us move between all three—sometimes in the same hour, sometimes within the same scroll.
Politics brings out the worst in people. There’s too much money, too much noise—campaigns and propaganda built on half-truths, and misinformation. News isn’t something we sit with anymore; it’s something we scroll past. Fast, constant, overwhelming.
And it doesn’t stay “out there.” It seeps into how we live.
I don’t do the things I used to—not the same way. Gardening. Trying new recipes. Exercising. Reading a book in one sitting. My attention feels fractured. So much has changed.
