Transmission 065: The middle

- - - - - GREETINGS, EARTHLING - - - - -

It’s Tunesday. And today’s signal is inspired by a song about being in between.

The Middle, by Jimmy Eat World, was written after the band got dropped by their record label. They thought they were done. They made a new album themselves, not knowing if anyone would listen. But someone did. A lot of people did.

The message is simple.
You’re not broken.
You’re not behind.
You’re just in the middle.

That part of life where nothing feels clear.
You’re trying, you’re waiting, you’re wondering if it’s working.
That’s not failure. That’s the ride.

So don’t write yourself off. Not today.

You don’t have to have it all figured out. You just have to keep going.

“It just takes some time.
You’re in the middle of the ride.
Everything will be just fine.
Everything will be alright”

This one’s in the Greetings, Earthling playlist.

Shuffle

If you’re like me, you’re listening to music all the time and have some pretty gigantic playlists.

Shuffle is one of Earth’s most delightful micro-gambles.
It might be a song you forgot you loved. It might be a skip.
It might be exactly what you needed without knowing you needed it.

Float well, Earthling.

Greetings, Earthling is a free daily newsletter designed to help you slow down, feel better, and start your mornings with a sense of meaning. Written from the perspective of a curious space observer named NeilA, each transmission blends mindfulness, motivation, and emotional insight with a hint of cosmic wonder.

Inspired by Stoic philosophy, Tao, Alan Watts, behavioural science, and the strange beauty of being human, these messages offer gentle reminders to live with purpose, pay attention, and appreciate the little things. Part alien wisdom, part self-help, part poetic dispatch, it’s a daily pick-me-up disguised as a transmission from the stars.

If you’re looking for a mindful routine, a feel-good newsletter, or thoughtful guidance that fits in your inbox, you’re in the right place. This is for anyone who wants to be more present, more kind, and more connected to yourself, to others, and to the universe around you.

If this helped, pass it along. Or send them here. Signals get stronger when more receivers are tuned in.

Thank you for reading. Your presence means more than you know.
