One day you walk past someone pushing a stroller and wonder if that will ever be you.
The next day you’re the one pushing a stroller past someone else wondering the same thing. The day after that you walk past someone pushing a stroller and remember when that was you.

From My Notebook…
• The “For You” feed social platforms push on you isn’t actually for you – it’s for them. They claim what holds your attention the longest is what’s best for you, but that’s not true – it’s what’s best for them.
