As someone who grew up with unrestricted internet access, I applaud you for staying in the frame with your kids. Social media companies are guilty of not doing enough to protect minors, and personally, I still think the minimum age limits are too low. Even so, as a teen, I had a YouTube channel where I built a following of 15,000 subscribers by playing video games. As you mentioned, it’s pretty surreal to think about the fact that so many human beings (with their own lives and stories) are following you. Keep chasing those dreams Liam and you never know where you might end up!

I’ve been feeling a bit bored with Instagram lately. I was really looking forward to reading more about you and Josh here. The dancing is awesome, but I’m more interested in having meaningful discussions about real life. That’s why I’m here, you know? And you’ve inspired me to start my own writing. I am trying to find focus for my newsletter, but I like spending some time writing and editing some ideas on Substack.

Yeah I understand this. Since this newsletter went to our entire mailing list, we answered the most common questions which are about dancing. We will answer our paid subscriber questions in the next newsletter. There are some good ones. Being bored online could be a nudge to log-off and or refresh the ideas/creators you are following. Could be time for something new!

And maybe stop binge-watching dark shows like “Grimm.” But I have only eleven episodes left in the whole series! Then I will never watch TV again. (I say that every time I do this to myself, like watching all of “The Walking Dead.”)
