is it a hiatus if you've only made 2 posts?

in which i do not follow through on my promises

Hey friends,

If you’re reading this, it’s most likely because you are subscribed to my Substack. Which is super cool, thanks for being here!

I spent the weekend agonizing over what to send out this week—I had loosely committed to bi-weekly posting on here with no real enforcement, but realized I was coming up on that second week with nothing to post. I have a few unfinished drafts sitting here that I could half-ass just to make that self-imposed deadline, but I decided I’d rather deliver quality than quantity.

So, this week, you get nothing! Sorry!

Okay, that’s not true. I’ll give you more than nothing. Here’s a quote from Hafiz.

we have not come into this exquisite world

to hold ourselves hostage from love

I like that one quite a bit. I hope none of you are holding yourselves hostage from love this week. I’ll see you soon.

Much love,

Alex
