I've been thinking about what it means to actually show up to your own life.

Not manage it. Not optimize it. Not move through it as efficiently as possible.

But actually be in it - in the conversations, the meals, the quiet moments, the spontaneous ones.

That's exactly what Sucking Life is here to push back against.

Welcome to the first issue. I'm glad you're here.
