,

It’s been about 100+ days since I last spoke to you.

And boy oh boy, has a lot happened over the past couple of months.

I stepped into what some would call a “new season” or a “new phase of life.” In that time, I’ve been navigating the highs of graduating, securing investment for the business, and the heavy lifting of transitioning from a small business to a limited liability company.

I’ve been growing as a person—and at the same time, learning to love.

To handle all this, I had to take a step back from the internet.

Not completely, but by a huge margin.

(I heard you missed my love letters to you... oh well, I missed you too!)

In engineering, we know as a matter of fact that there’s no high-performance machine that runs 24/7 without a scheduled maintenance window. So, I went Unplugged.

I stepped away from everything (aside from WhatsApp). I needed to focus on doing the "boring things" that actually make the big things work. I joined a book club, started reading deeply about art, and even started a new "sidequest" in Project Management.

(And yeah, I’m exploring a new path as a professional artist—don't be surprised if an exhibition invite hits your inbox soon.)

In summary: I did what we Gen-Zs call “Touching Grass.” And in all sincerity, it’s a very satisfying thing to do.

But while I was unplugged, I wasn't just resting; I was retooling the vision for The Creatives Discuss.

If I’m going to lead 1000 of you this year, I couldn't do it on the old "code."

The maintenance window is closed, and the system is back online.

I’m looking for the ones who are ready to build something that lasts.

Are you still with me?

If you send me "I'm active"

I'll know you are

Stay intentional,
