After over 60 days of ghosting, we meet again.
To be honest, I'm not entirely sure that "ghosting" is the right term for what has happened between us because, in my defense, it wasn't intentional.
However, the fact still remains that you waited, and the mail from Inchopps never arrived. Many of you reached out, and while I couldn't get around to responding to everyone, I totally appreciated the concern. I kinda wasn't really expecting anyone to reach out. 🥺 [sic]
When I initially started Inchopps, it was supposed to be a way for me to share my thoughts with a few friends and maybe hope they share it with some of their friends.
I wanted to talk about money and other things in a bid to challenge your thinking.
Somewhere at the back of my mind, like everyone else, there was the dream of being successful — nobody sets out to fail. Still, I could never have imagined the sense of responsibility I'd have to deal with when hundreds of people are waiting on what I have to say every week.
I must have crumbled under this weight so much that I had to retreat to my cave to find solace until I could rediscover myself. Also, I had to walk away from a few relationships, change jobs in the middle of a pandemic, and acclimatize to my new reality during this same period.
Through it all, it was always on my mind to reach back out to you because there's nothing I want more than to share my thoughts with you as often as I can. This is why you are finally getting this!
The ride from the first newsletter on March 16, 2020, to the last one on August 7, 2020, was exhilarating. It's my biggest desire to make this second season a lot more valuable to us. In doing this, first on the agenda was getting a new look! 😄
I’m hoping to forge a stronger bond between us as I share my thoughts and get your feedback on some of life's interesting concepts. Instead of a one-way style of passing down information, I’d like this to be more conversational as depicted in the new identity.
I also acknowledge the fact that life isn’t one smooth jolly ride, but a mix of everything — and this also speaks to me.
While some things will be different going forward, the overall goal of Inchopps remains the same — to help you become a better human.
So, what life concepts have you been thinking about lately? What truths did you recently discover about life?
