Bet you didn’t think you’d see me here on a random morning, unannounced. Well, you’re welcome because I’m here to bring you a little update + the lingering thoughts I have running through my head on this honestly very weird Tuesday.
For the last year or so, Half Empty has been this beautifully amazing thing that gets sent out at a scheduled time with one large, almost fully-processed thought pasted onto your screen all wrapped in a bow and mailed directly to you through internet pathways I still don’t fully understand.
But honestly, I think it’s time for a change. Maybe it’s the cold brew currently flowing through my body, or the freedom I feel writing alone at the top of a coffee shop with AC on full blast so the only option I have for warmth is to just keep typing, but as my fellow Sag’s would have it, I’m restless!
So as the mayor of Half Empty, I’ve decided it will become less “curated.” You’ll be getting this newsletter randomly. With whatever useless, important, vague, painful, or joyous things I feel like sharing. I still plan on producing themed issues, but with room for smaller ones. They might contain a “thought of the day,” a playlist, or maybe a question that’s been consuming me. I think this will be a fun change.
To start, here’s what’s been on my mind lately. Feel free to share yours in the comments:
My dreams change by the day. They feel so strong all at once and then hopeless the next moment. Do you feel this way?
I’m running out of passion, which kind of makes me sad.
I’ve been in this strange tug of war between my love for creative inside hobbies and my love for active outdoor hobbies on these warmer days. When I’m inside, I feel like I’m wasting the warm days, or am I just enjoying them from a distance? Idk. Someone make me feel better about this, please.
As always, thanks for reading.
