Things I Thought About: a newsletter with no editorial plan.

There was a time when I used to share everything that came to my mind on social media. Whether it was Tumblr, Twitter, or Instagram, people knew that coming to my page meant participating in an unrequested public service announcement. It was fun, but those platforms didn’t allow me to express my thoughts in depth.

Clearly, I have opinions. Lots of them. Opinions that I think are worth sharing with the world. Some of them are harsh critiquing of things that happen around me, some others are simply ideas that pop up in my mind and instead of burdening my friends with random dilemmas about society or things that baffle me, I throw them into the interwebs. You know, like a message in a bottle thrown in the sea.
This habit led me to become a writer. Because after all, what is a writer if not somebody with lots of things to say?

After years of waiting to be commissioned or pitching in vain to editors who are looking for the next best clickbait title, I decided to start this very newsletter as a space to share those thoughts mainstream publications would not pay me to write.
Initially, I thought writing weekly would slayer my passion for writing.. turns out it didn’t. I am still here after a full year of publishing every week.

This project doesn’t really follow a strict editorial structure as it’s impossible to do so given that it’s literally the real-life manifestation of what is going on in my head at all times.
Though—as I strive to be able to make more and more time for writing, and thus be able to survive without taking on too much other freelance work—I decided to leverage this great platform to sustain my art.


Thank you for choosing me — See you on Wednesday!
