Great post and loved the podcast recommendation - a really good meditation on what it means to rest, beyond just idleness and towards rejuvenating your energy.

as someone who was born in the 2000s and was only allowed to get on the internet ata ge 15 (a year before the pandemic) i honestly haven't had aby problems with social media apart from doomscrolling inhibiting my productivity levels and irksome trolls that grate me despite using the block button liberally. I've made a lot of friends and lost a lot of friends through my time during the last 3 years but i have mostly been in fandom spaces so it's been easier to find people with similar interests. I've also been lucky to find people from my country with the same politics and morality. One thing I'm struggling with recently is information overload. It's probably because I'm not very well informed but i do get swayed by information easily. It's also made me obsess over archiving my life and leaving a digital & physical imprint of my existence, which is starting to get draining i would like to live without the need to prove my existence to myself. Sorry, this is got a little rambly, i love love love reading your work and I'm making my way through your books as well ! (it was quite hard to find a copy in southern india lol) thank you for sharing your insights and also for instilling hope in me at times where i (and the world) have needed it.
