👋🏾 Hi

I sent this email to my Tusk subscribers yesterday:

Valued Reader,

I share in a decent number of your COVID struggles—starting with “I trust you are keeping safe…” feels disingenuous. We deal with thousands of these monotonous correspondences on email/Slack/Teams already.

It’s been 9 Tusk installments (my editor insists they’re 10) so far. I’ve enjoyed writing these pieces. Writing those pieces made me appreciate the small things life has to offer like practising gratitude and pursuing miniature curiosities. I can only hope you’ve been sharing in the thrill.

I recently turned 23. Young for you, old for me. As I grow older, I feel some parts of my being need greater attention and, most importantly, my presence. I have been feeling this for the past week and wouldn’t want to regret not focusing on it now. This is a long way of saying I am pausing to find a part of me I have been recently blind to.

While I’m taking a pause from Tusk, my short form writing, I will continue publishing my long-form writing, my essays.
