it truly makes all the difference! yes, optimizing and improving something is great. but the genuine curiosity is what gets us to where we never realized was possible ✨
such a beautiful article. your words are exactly what i’ve subconsciously going back and forth about in my mind! i had to take a step back to figure myself and my goals for my pretense on this platform out, and it’s slowly coming together.
I really loved this essay and can completely relate. I just published my first substack article after months (6 to be exact) of internal debate over whether or not my writing or thoughts were worthy of even sharing. This was so validating to read and I agree that leading with curiosity will ultimately be more fulfilling anyways !! I also feel like our publications are very similar in that we are both writing to inspire and insight hope and optimism to our readers. I’ll definitely be subscribing to keep up the inspiration !
oh this was such a lovely comment to receive, i’m so so glad you were able to relate and you feel it helped validate why your writing matters. publishing after months of internal debate probably felt so nerve wracking but also so rewarding to finally put your thoughts out there. just remember that someone else is always out there and searching for what you have to say 🫶🏼
exactly!! and it’s like no matter what we do, that dopamine rush is just there waiting for us to take it. ugh it’s so frustrating and alluring at the same time!
i don’t think the desire to overly edit everything i write will ever go away, but at least being conscious of it will help me ensure i stay true to my voice 🤎 thanks for reading!!
Hoy pensaba en esto a la mañana, poniéndome cómo objetivo armar mi substack, escribir por las mañanas, cómo debería sonar. Me dí cuenta que hoy el compartir se volvió mediático, de venta, que quizas no compartimos para su real propósito que es el comunicar y conectar, sino simplemente para alcanzar eso que se ve en las redes (en las cuales te lo presentan como el éxito o la felicdad) pero cada vez más que navego en redes sociales, menos quiero hacerlo.
Quisiera simplemente dejar el celular por completo estos días. Hoy caminé con mi perro por el parque y me hizo darme cuenta que los mejores momentos están acá. En vida y no en redes. En la presencia y no en el ver si son o no dignos de compartir. Siento que es un tema muy lindo a abordar, creo que lo genuino no dispone de fechas, pero la venta creativa sí, eso es lo que distorsiona el panorama creando un constante dilema.
This is like to be a creative person in a digital word, this is like to be an artist in a world full of unpassionated people with a business mindset...
leading with curiosity is what keeps writing enjoyable!! i’d rather be in my flop era than optimise all the sharp edges of me away
this. oh my god yes so much this. what a perfect way to summarize how i’m feeling right now! 🫶🏼
Curiosity for the win!!

That bit about chasing the dopamine hit. It’s like a never-ending game of refresh roulette.

That sound 100% authentic, thanks for the honesty. Perfect reat thoughts to read after making my 1st post beginning the Substack journey.
