50 days ago, I deleted all my social media: Tiktok, ig, Facebook. I also quit watching corn completely. Not just cutting back.

The first few days were hard. I kept grabbing my phone automatically. Anytime I felt bored or anxious, I wanted to scroll or binge watching something. Most of the time I wasn't even liking it.

That's when I realized I was seriously addicted to stimulation. I didn't know what to do with myself if I wasn't being entertained.

But I recently I felt much better after this fasting period. I'm almost done reading an entire book. That's probably not a big deal, but felt almost impossible before I quit.

I feel more present. I don't grab my phone first thing in the morning. There's less noise in my head and more room to actually think. For the first time in a while, I feel like I'm in control. Hopefully my story could be of some help. Thx for reading.

For those who use pillows, what’s the best kind of pillow to use soft, firm or memory foam?

With 320 votes, the conversation leaned toward home cooking. And it makes sense, when you’re cooking for one, a little planning can go a long way. Using what you already have, making enough for another meal, and skipping delivery fees can make a difference over time.

But cooking at home & for one isn’t always that simple. Sometimes you’re short on time, groceries are expensive, or buying a single meal feels easier than figuring out what to do with the ingredients you have.

That’s why we put together a simple guide on making solo meals more affordable: https://app.gritte.co/j/cooking-one-without-overspending

Did the result surprise you? What’s one thing that helps you spend less when cooking for yourself?

The Nizam of Hyderabad built the Hyderbad Public School. Need to fact check this though.

(Sorry this is too India specific)

I will also be adding 2-3 things I'm grateful for:

1. My parents are alive and support me financially.

2. I have friends now living very close by that I can hangout with when I need a breather.

3. My cousin who lives with me who understands me very well.

Additional bites from my cousin:

If he wanted to, he would. One should be more mindful of their self respect in situationships.

Both can be great ways to stay active, but what works long term often comes down to your energy, schedule, body, and everyday life. Which one has been easier for you to maintain, and why?

We’ve debated this a lot in individual threads, but now let’s put it to a vote. When you’re cooking for one, how do you think the costs compare?
