🏕 1-2-3

Hi friends! I swore this newsletter wouldn't have a gimmicky structure like every other newsletter on the planet. I even proclaim this in the signup box on my website. But since I'm struggling to stay consistent, I want to give myself a little structure so I don't have to think

🏕 Performing a brutal self-audit

Happy Sunday! I've been MIA the last two weeks because my energy levels were critically in the red. Adjusting to a new job, juggling a freakishly-packed social calendar, and my 30th birthday (where I turned 31 🥲) left me limping. I didn't tweet, and I didn't write. And I jolted myself

🏕 My annual review 2021

Sup homies, I hope you had a magical, fantastical Christmas and New Year. Twenty-one days. That's how long it's been since my last message, which is no bueno. I've been struggling with the idea behind this newsletter. For now, I'm happy with it being a public diary that allows me

🏕 Who am I?

LOL, I don't know. But I do know that this is fast becoming an exhausting question. Over the past six years, I've had this habit of slapping a label on my identity. I usually tie this label to whatever my current vocation is at the time. At first, I was

🏕 I made $11,329 overnight

Something weird happened to me last week. I was locked out of my house, sitting in my Dad's car waiting for my girlfriend to let me in, when I received a strange text from a friend... My first thought was, "I bought one of those domains a few weeks ago.
