“The Age of the Soft Reboot: Why Everyone’s Starting Over”
“The Age of the Soft Reboot: Why Everyone’s Starting Over”
This article explores a rising cultural trend: people in their 20s to 40s hitting reset on their lives—changing careers, ending long-term relationships, moving cities, quitting social media, or just stepping away from burnout culture. It’s not about crashing and burning, but about intentional *soft reboots*: subtle, personal reinventions in search of more meaning, peace, or authenticity.
The illustration should capture this quiet but powerful sense of transition. It’s not a dramatic explosion, but a gentle transformation. A shift. A new chapter opening.

“Doomscroll Detox: Reclaiming Attention in the Age of Overload"
This article explores how constant exposure to online news, social media, and notifications affects our mental health—especially the phenomenon of *doomscrolling*. It discusses the psychological impact of endless digital input and offers strategies for reclaiming focus, calm, and presence. It’s part critique, part self-care guide.
The illustration should visually represent the overstimulation of digital life *and* the peace that can come from stepping away. It’s about contrast: noise vs. stillness, tension vs. clarity.
