Read me in the New York Times!

You’re reading At The End Of the Day. I’ve missed you! If you’re new here, welcome.

We interrupt this vacation to bring you my essay in today’s New York Times

“I couldn’t disagree more with people proclaiming the decline of the group chat,” writes @HannahSung. “They are not a replacement for in-person communication, but for me, these chats are a much-needed refuge from social media.”

I wrote about group chats but it’s really an ode to friendship. In case you can’t tell from how often I return to this topic, I really think it’s an essential building block of health, happiness and community.

As usual, I had way too many thoughts to cram into a slim 800 words. I’ll likely return to the topic to write more in a future newsletter.

But for today, I’ll leave you with what I wrote for the Times. Click through to read it. And of course, drop it in your group chat! Don’t have one? Send it to a few friends and see what happens.

With big thanks to Indrani Sen, who edited me with kindness and patience.

Sent from a cabin on the west coast (sap in my hair, don’t care!). Now back to being mostly unplugged. See you in September,

Hannah
