Thank you. I’m taking folks advice and taking some time off BUT also taking advice and compiling some of these into a new book maybe. Going to see what I’ve got and if it’s worth it soon.

I'm listening to an audiobook, When The Body Says No by Gabor Mate. We all could benefit from listening to our bodies when it starts to whisper take a break. Most of us wait until it's screaming and it takes us much longer to reset. Happy you are prioritizing yourself and taking a tactical pause.

It’s been a long time coming. Also with getting into counseling and some other life stuff I just figured now isn’t the time to be writing all that cause who knows what’s gonna bubble up and I just need to rest for a bit. Hope you’re well

Good, now I can finally catch up on my back log of Stan Lake posts. Hahaha. Seriously though, I admire your self-reflection. You’re not quitting, you’re regrouping. And honestly, that’s wisdom. (I just channeled some generative AI there.) Three and half hours of weekly posts is fucking insane and you ought to be proud. I’m psyched to see what comes next, brother.
