eric.

making soft corners of the internet
today's reminder

hey — i'm eric. i make elevate., a little mental-health newsletter and community i started as a 2am notes-app draft. it's the best thing i've made.

i'm not an expert at any of this — just a person figuring it out, out loud. this is everything i'm making, listening to, and thinking about lately. 🤍

the thing i make
“you don't have to be okay here.”

elevate. is a monthly mental-health newsletter and a little discord community — a softer corner of the internet. daily check-ins, a wins wall, a 24/7 radio, and people who get it. no performance, no algorithms. free + gentle, always.

peer support, not a crisis service · if today is heavy, 988 and our resources are always here.

i think this year has mostly been about reflecting, re-energizing, and reaching — past the edges of what felt comfortable.

none of it looked like progress while it was happening. most of it still doesn't. but we live and we learn, and that counts as moving forward.

whatever this year has asked of you — you're still here. remember that. 🤍

a small list for a heavy week. none of it is optional, all of it is easy:
drink one full glass of water before the coffee
go outside for 10 minutes, no phone
text the person you keep meaning to text
put it down at 10pm. it'll keep.

the internet made us all performers. elevate. is my small attempt at a place with no stage.

made a playlist for the in-between hours. press play, go for a walk, let it do the talking.

rest isn't a reward you unlock. it's maintenance. still learning this one.
