Remembered This Existed
No Big announcement, no 90-day challenge here.
I don’t have a big announcement or grand idea. I just missed writing here on substack. I missed sitting with my thoughts long enough to turn them into something that feels true. I’ve started writing on Medium and trying to keep up with it for 90 days, but then Medium has this serious vibe about it. That’s why I’ve missed the quiet space here on Substack where I can be a little more of myself, rather than the comported one you’d find elsewhere.
For a while, though, I told myself I’d return when I had something big to announce, or when I’d figured life out a bit more. But then waiting for the “perfect” time is just another way of hiding and giving excuses. My life isn’t always profound. Most day, it’s a little confusing, repetitive, and for most parts dull. But then there’s something to pick from in those moments. The quiet mornings, the extremely random thoughts, the sudden realizations that there’s something worth writing about.
Like right now, I’m on a call at 12:52am on a call with my closest friend just talking about nothing in particular, but then sharing some of our plans with each other while we work at the same time.
Well, back to the actual post. This is not a comeback or anything of that sort, it is just me showing up again. Not to be consistent or impressive, but to be a little honest.
It’s almost like we spend too much time trying to make meaning before we live, when sometimes the meaning only comes after. So substack is going to be a place I will visit once in a while.
No 90-day challenge here though, I would not be able to keep up. But then that 90 day thing on Medium has been quite the task. I’m on day 15, and it seems like 100 to me. But the plan is to keep up with it until the last day. Consistency there, and honesty here.
It’s good to be back. Hope to share something here real soon, maybe even today.
