Part two of the Earthling code.

This is part two of the Earthling code.
A set of 10 quiet truths, written in case someone out there ever needs them.

The code (so far):
1. Earthlings are

Earthlings wonder.

You are born looking outward.
You point at stars.
You ask why the sky moves and where clouds go at night.
You touch the world with questions.

Wonder is not something to grow out of.
It’s something to grow with.
It keeps you open. It keeps you becoming.

Stay curious. Get lost. Learn forever.

When Earthlings are young, wonder is loud.

They ask questions out loud.
They crawl under things.
They press every button, even the ones that say do not press.

Later, it softens.

Curiosity turns inward.
You start wondering what others are feeling.
You start asking questions you don’t say out loud.

And in elderhood, it deepens.

You wonder if you’ve done enough.
You wonder if you’ll be remembered fondly.
You wonder what comes next, if anything does.

Curiosity never leaves you.
It just changes shape.

A child’s first written words.

Like the note still pinned above my desk: You are asome.
Backwards letters. Invented spelling.
The message always finds its way through.
Proof that even before you understand the world,
you already want to connect with it.

And heck yeah, I am asome!

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.
