I've Been Thinking About the Noise
I've been a reader since I was about 4 years old.
By 9, I was writing poetry. By 11, my first book. By my teens, I was seeing my name in print in actual magazines.
I'm not telling you that to brag. I'm telling you because people ask me — a lot lately — how I stay grounded when everything around us feels so loud.
And honestly? I've been practicing ignoring noise my entire life.
Moving every few years as a kid will do that to you.
You learn fast how to figure out what's real and what's just the chaos of a new place.
You get good at tuning things out.
It's not a gift. It's a survival skill I picked up before I even knew that's what it was.
But here's the thing I've been sitting with a lot lately...
The noise is different now.
It's not the kind you can just tune out.
It's not a noisy neighborhood or a chaotic new school.
It's relentless. It's engineered.
It is designed — with real intention and real money behind it — to keep you anxious, scrolling, reacting.
And it follows you. Into your bedroom. Into your kitchen. Into the bathroom at 2am. Right there in your pocket, buzzing.
That's not noise. That's an occupation.
I think it's time we talked about what we actually do about it.
Because I have some thoughts — and one of them involves something you can hold in your hands, something with pages.
More on that very soon. 👀
