We spend so much time curating pixels, but people? They are the absolute priority. I learned this the hard way from an experience with an ex who could not put his phone down, even during intimate moments.

Giving your pure, undivided attention to the person in front of you is not just politeโ€”it is a profound act of self-respect and respect for others.

You are telling them, "Your energy matters to me more than any notification." In a distracted world, your presence is a truly valuable gift.

Think of it as PurrEssence.

PurrEssence is about recognizing your own resonance. If a person, a place, or an experience makes you "purr" inside, that is your inner system saying, "This is exactly where I am supposed to be."

When you find those moments, honour them by being 100% there. Put the phone down. Breathe. Be.

I just saw a picture of someone, and in the comments, the author said: "Follow my IG: @<username>." Then I replied: "Will you follow me back too? Minimising the glorification of parasocial relationships." I hope there will be a response, lol.
