Substack Reads We Can’t Stop Thinking About

‍

There’s something about a Substack piece that lingers. The kind you read once and then find yourself thinking about days later, in quiet moments or on a walk or when something small reminds you of it. These are a few that have stayed with us recently.

Farah - How to Sit With Your Feelings

‍A gentle reminder to stop trying to fix everything straight away. It leans into the idea that not every feeling needs to be solved or explained. Sometimes you just have to sit with it, even when it’s uncomfortable.

Alissa Derogatis - The Grief of Growing Up is Geographic

‍This one feels quiet but heavy in the best way. It explores how growing up often means growing away from places, people, and versions of yourself you didn’t realise you’d miss.

Chicgirlmoment - How to Start Doing Something, Instead of Saying You Will Do Something

‍A push to actually begin. It’s about letting go of the idea that you need to be fully ready and just starting anyway, even if it’s messy or imperfect.

Gor (mixtapesbygor) - When You’re Choosing a Life Partner, Think Beyond Romance

‍A shift in perspective on relationships. It looks at the importance of compatibility, lifestyle, and the kind of life you’re building together, not just how someone makes you feel in the moment.

Hasif - Become the Person That You Would Like to Be Around

‍Simple but it stays with you. It turns the focus inward and asks you to think about the kind of energy you bring into a room and into other people’s lives.

Freya India - You Don’t Need to Document Everything

‍A quiet reminder that not everything needs to be shared. Some moments are better kept for yourself, lived fully without thinking about how they look from the outside.

Saving these for when we need a reset or a shift in perspective.
