I had no idea that Focus Friend was the app of the day, but I still posted about it a few hours ago. Thank you for this app, it’s so helpful!

Really grateful to have my #FocusFriend Eda to help me stay off my phone (by me helping her stay off hers) right now. I definitely need it, with all of the reading and writing I need to do for various uni courses, for my part-time job, and as a part of the job searching process.

Can confirm! I’m a linguist from Sweden and had to read about it for at least two different university courses (even though none of my two main languages of study was English)

In all seriousness, I remember being 17 y/o, feeling so lost and finding joy in watching Dan and Phil in my small room at my parents’ house. Today, I turned 27 y/o in my own apparent. Still feeling a bit lost, but in a more hopeful way, and still watching these guys share their story ✨🏳️‍🌈

Like, I’ve thought about him maybe twice since our last interaction — and only when telling my friends how bad our date went! He hasn’t crossed my mind in weeks. And even if he was thinking about me, why send me a new friend request after I told him I didn’t want to date him and unfriended him??

*I’m not in any way religious, but haven’t bothered to officially leave the Swedish national church (that I was baptised into as a baby) because they still do some cultural, charitable and environmental work I (mostly) don’t disagree with. And I can vote against nationalists in the elections!

Additional context:

1. We live in Sweden, so there are eight big parties and several smaller ones to choose from.

2. There were some other yellow/orange flags that I was willing to look past (at least enough to give him a chance), but that discussion made me realise that he’s not for me.

The reasons he gave were ”politics is too polarised these days” and ”there are no good options”. And while I agree to some extent, maybe vote for the least bad option then?? Or, if you truly don’t care, vote to make the world better for other people who don’t have that privilege?

I was also surprisingly disappointed in Dan and Phil when they didn’t instantly recognise that Brennan Lee Mulligan is the voice actor for the board game character. Like, I haven’t watched even half of all the things he’s done, but I got it immediately and thought it was really sweet and clever.
