Ready to touch grass together?
Welcome to a space where we can (metaphorically) touch grass and connect rather than be chronically online.
I am Jil, the founder of a social media marketing agency, which means that for work I have to know the ins and out of every algorithm and content trend there is. However, I live in perpetual incongruity - I want to be chronically offline, connected to nature and to you. The only way I’ve always known to do this, is through storytelling.
This space will be used to explore the creative process, in all its messy and beautiful facets, because I am overcome with the need to create rather than consume.

The kind of writing you will find here?
For now, it’s a curated extension of my journal. I am trying, maybe for the first time in my life, not to have it all perfectly figured out by the time the idea sees the light of day. I’ve come to realise that, it is in fact, how no idea ever sees the light of day.
Musings on life from my perspective, the insufferable thoughts of someone that is chronically online but doesn’t want to be (and therefore needs a reminder to go touch some grass), curiosities I want to explore, and hopefully also conversations with inspiring souls.
How often will you see me in your inbox?
I’d like to think once a week, but as creativity ebbs and flows (and I’m trying to let it), every month might look a little different. You can choose to be a passenger and support my work, but it won’t ever be forced on you.
Ad stance
As someone that works in social media, I have chosen this platform to be a means of self expression, purely focused on being a creative outlet and a curated safe space for those chronically online and in need to metaphorically touch some grass.
I come here to share my thoughts, read yours and sometimes even question the very systems we are a part of, so it doesn’t feel right to sell you anything.
AI stance
We also live in a day and age where I have to specify this, but I will never use AI for any of my writing. You will find mistakes, typos and everything in between - because it’s me and it’s not perfect. A sprinkle of humanity in a digitalised word.
So, I thank you for being here - whichever way you choose to show up 💌
