Since I am trying to degoogle and deMeta my life (I certainly will make this my whole personality lol). I of course can’t utilize my second IG’s close friend stories as a tool to update my friends anymore.
I don’t want to deprive my friends, especially my closest friends, my best friends and my soulmate of my recent life updates which are of high importance for them (source: trust me bro).
So I need to get creative and lucky for them I have a brilliant mind. My best bet is all of my friends have one thing in common, which is they all have an email. So.. we go from there. I choose to email my friends a newsletter every once in a while and tell them my life update. Sometimes i will utilize my blog if the story is long and I will set it as a password protected post. Sometimes I will just spew my words directly on the body of the email, it really depends on my mood.
I lied about my brilliant mind, this whimsical idea was actually inspired by my best friend Rajwa, the OG. I am always excited to read her newsletters which usually come once in a blue moon.
It’s not about the frequency tho, it’s about the quality, rispekk!
The thing about private newsletters is they feel really intentional and really intimate. I don’t know how to put it into words but they feel more significant than the casual social media posts. Especially when some of my friends replied to my newsletter with their own life update too. I love it so so so muchhhhooooo!!
If you know me and you are interested to receive my newsletter, just shoot your shot at benjirou@posteo.com
Okay that’s all. I will end this writing with the way I always end my newsletters.
Don’t forget to have a whimsical day!
Warm regards,
Ben
