Hello, I’m the person who saw you in the phone free vest today at Old Street station (roughly 6.45pm).
Now hooked on your Substack, as I relate to practically every word in this post.
It made me smile, laugh, and feel less alone in thinking that life itself needs an ‘airplane mode’.
Please keep it coming, and keep wearing the vest. It inspired me, and I hope it sparks more discussion around this, as it really is so hard to switch off in this day and age.
PS, have you read Matt Haig’s ‘Notes on a nervous planet’? You might like it.
It is so kind of you to write! It's hugely appreciated and really keeps me going.
And it is so encouraging to hear that the vest works as a hello to others who feel the same way. I love your phrase about life needing an 'airplane mode.' That is exactly what I am trying to build for myself daily.

Thank you, hadn't read it. I definitely will.
