Your Daily Pour for May 9: Thoughts for a Life Well Lived

Hot take of the day? We’re all tired of pretending we’re fine with “low effort” friendships.

You know the ones — the ghost-then-text-after-3-weeks kind, or the “let’s catch up soon” energy vampires who never actually follow through. The internet loves to glorify soft living and slow mornings, but let’s be real: not everything should be chill. Sometimes, we need to talk about the emotional equivalent of slamming a door.

Here’s the sip:

More and more people (especially late millennials) are opting out of the “ride or die” friend trope. Instead, they’re embracing “selective closeness” — curating who gets access to their mental space. Is it a little cold? Maybe. Is it a survival tactic in an overstimulated world? Definitely.

This isn’t about canceling people. It’s about creating room for better energy. As one Reddit user put it:

“I’m not mad, I’m just emotionally decluttering.”

What we’re thinking about today:

Do you owe loyalty to someone just because you’ve known them for years?
Can “cutting off” be done with kindness?
And when did ignoring a text become the new form of setting boundaries?

If today feels like you’re craving peace more than plans, that’s your intuition talking. You don’t have to keep showing up in spaces where your presence is optional but your energy is expected.
