Hello and happy new year! The excitement surrounding the start of 2024 feels palpable this year, and I just love it! We have a lot of new subscribing members here, so thank you for joining us and welcome, if you’re new! The Sunday Scroll is a weekly collection of ten-or-so articles, posts, memes, links, and more from around the internet — things that made me smile (or think) this week. My hope is that this finds you curled up on your couch, with a cup of something warm, and gives you a minute of escape and inspiration on your Sunday morning. Enjoy and happiest new year!
A great take on Instagram. Is it dying, or are we just getting older?

PS: I’d love to know one thing you’re saying NO to in the comments. I’ll go first: I’m saying no to distractions that waste time in ways I don’t love wholeheartedly.
I really loved the article from James Clear and I plan on reading atomic habits this year. I’m saying no to letting schedules dictate my life, I want to loosen up and be more flexible this year. Happy New Year Emily!
I am stopping saying "I cant", and start saying "I WILL"!!
Thank you for being such a positive voice in the world!!
