why i failed to write this newsletter

how you can avoid the trap of never starting something

i suck.

i had a goal to write one newsletter per month. it’s may and I’ve written one…just one. good job angelo.

ur a failure.

for those that are new, hello. hi. my name is angelo! you probably subscribed after seeing one of my linkedIn or tiktok posts. thank you for doing so! i appreciate you for being here.

this is what I’ve been doing after graduation. basically my list of excuses as to why I stopped writing for this newsletter. let me just catch you up with my life.

january: southern california trip with friends from Product Buds. uploaded my Entire College Experience (9 minutes)

february/march: solo europe trip got all my tech stolen.

april: family reunion in southern california, miami/bahamas trip with the fam, final hangouts with friends in the bay :,)

may: new york trip with cousin. now, i am packing and getting ready for my move to seattle. absolutely surreal.

..so just kinda been busy traveling, living life before i start this 9-5 job. i swear i’ll write more and i just wanted to publish this real quick because i need to start.

i hold myself back because every time i write something for this newsletter, i don’t think it’s good enough and i stop and never finish it. ugh i know, the cliché ‘holding myself back due to perfectionism’ but it’s true.

reminds me of the classic pottery story on quality vs quantity. learning from that story, i’m going to push myself to publish even if i don’t think it’s amazing. the more i publish, the more i can fail and learn. again and again.

Fail fast, fail cheap, fail often, fail forward.

keeping this post short and sweet. (bc having goals to make this post reach a certain word count also contributes to me not finishing) anyways, let me learn more about you, i reply to every response:

what are you currently working on that excites you?

as for me, i’m excited to start posting on TikTok and LinkedIn consistently again. and of course this newsletter so hope to see you around :) till next time which hopefully isn’t another 5 months lol

quote from my journal:

One day, you will tell your story of how you overcame what you went through and it will be someone else’s survival guide.
