How does the self burn in the age of the frame?

1 week ago | medium.com | Robert E. Ralph

This isn’t just a shift in format — it’s a shift of the self to a 9:16 frame of mind. In just a few years, the internet has undergone a full-body transformation. Video didn’t just show up, it took over. By 2025, it’s expected to account for 82% of all internet traffic.

Make these changes and you’ll connect with readers35% of readers leave in 30 seconds. How rude of them. But I know how soul-destroying this is. My first 6 months writing online were rough.

Then I removed a few handbrakes from my writing — and something shifted. People started bingeing my words. Over 8,000 signed up to my weekly newsletter.
Too Ambitious to Rest, Too Tired to Work-Here’s the Mindset Shift That Saved Me

1 week ago | medium.com | Prabhat Mishra |Robert E. Ralph

If you’ve got big dreams but no energy, here’s what actually worksI kept wondering why I couldn’t function like everyone else. I had goals—big ones. I had a whole Google Doc full of plans to change my life—new routines, morning affirmations, 12-hour work schedules, and optimized everything. But most days? I just watched YouTube, drank coffee, and felt guilty for not doing enough. Then, I’d dream up another “life reset” to fix everything. And the cycle repeated. It wasn’t that I lacked ambition.

1 week ago | medium.com | Robert E. Ralph

It’s not just me… right? I have recently started writing on Medium. It’s been fun so far. But like any platform, there are a few things that have been a bit annoying (I’m sure I’m not the only one). Maybe I’m just still figuring things out, but here are my main observations:1. Nobody reminds you to put your story behind the paywall. Yes, I often forget to enable the Members only option. I’ve realized this after publishing and sometimes even after getting claps or responses.

I Thought It Was Just Vitamin Deficiency

1 week ago | medium.com | Prabhat Mishra |Robert E. Ralph

But what my friend really had was ALS. This is what I learned. A few months ago, my friend Siddharth, 41, told me he was having trouble holding things. At first, I thought it might be a simple vitamin deficiency. I asked if he’d injured his hand. He hadn’t. So, I urged him to get checked by a doctor. The physician prescribed calcium, vitamin D, and multivitamins. He told Siddharth to come back the next week. But rather than improving, things began to decline.
How Being in a Cult Improved My Writing

1 week ago | medium.com | Robert E. Ralph

Breaking Free and Breaking Through - How Extremity Shaped My Literary VoiceThe cult taught me emotion first, facts second. During “confession,” we stared into each other’s eyes until someone broke. I broke people with words, then rebuilt them. We called it “cleansing.” Marketers call it emotional triggers. Same thing, different packaging. I learned to spot real emotion from the fake. My readers feel that truth in every line. When someone fakes it, I smell it like smoke in a crowd.
