Diary of A Lover Girl

Aug 7, 2024 | sherryning.com | Sherry Ning

I can’t stand our mechanical times of Find My Friends and Oura rings. We’ve smothered the magic out of love with hygienic rationality and therapy-speak. Love is only powerful when it is magical. You know what therapy lacks? It lacks that invisible plasma of energy that feels like desire or longing. It lacks serendipity and coincidence. It lacks soul. It lacks yearning. It lacks happy accidents that bring people together for a shared lifetime. I don’t want clinical love.

Stop Looking At Each Other

Jul 18, 2024 | theplurisociety.com | Sherry Ning |Freya India

“I don’t want Big Tech to sell my data.” “I don’t want employers to stalk me.” Not wanting to be watched is a valid reason to be anti-social media. We often compare social media to Orwell’s surveillance state of 1984, but here’s what’s different about our telescreens: our screens do not exist to monitor us, but for us to monitor others. There is no totalitarian state behind our screens enforcing social order; instead, the screens turn us into the supervisors of each others’ behaviors.
How to Write

Jul 6, 2024 | sherryning.com | Sherry Ning

Writing is like acting…The point of writing is so your writing disappears. Let me explain:Good actors disappear; you only see the character they’re playing. Bad actors draw all your attention to their acting. Good writers disappear; you only see the story they’re telling. Bad writers draw all your attention to their choice of words. Good actors are good because we remember their characters better than we remember them.

On Not Having Enough Money

Feb 13, 2024 | theplurisociety.com | Sherry Ning

Money influences happiness, but some experiences can show you that these two things overlap less than you think. For example, company matters more than circumstances. A 10-hour flight enhanced with snotty children and pale, microwaved food isn’t so bad when you’re sitting next to the love of your life. In contrast, a night at the Ritz Paris with your worst enemy can turn the suite into a gladiator pit. Now, it’s unlikely for wealth to make one miserable.
Don't Worry, You'll be Fine

Jan 1, 2024 | theplurisociety.com | Sherry Ning

I love biographies. They have the power to make me feel like everything is going to be okay and that the things stressing me out right now will, one day, be insignificant. Biographies are proof that you can live, learn, and die, and your glory — big or small — can be preserved untainted by minor setbacks such as parking tickets and romantic rejections.
