Fantastic essay. Living in dark resonates with me on deep levels. Actually made me feel better about not having a 5 year plan, especially since I'm focused on living the present day-to-day.
Discovering your work Matt, feels like a homecoming.
I bumped into your interview on Weird Studies (after tossing and turning in bed last night, until I finally said F it, just listen to a podcast until you fall asleep). Of course I was then up for another hour and a half, fascinated by your pointed insights combined with your humility — a combo one rarely encounters today with figures and folks online.
For tomorrow’s eclipse in Scorpio— long-considered astrology’s ‘darkest’ sign—I’ll be sharing this post of yours. With little extrapolation— what more could I add to it? You present your thesis so completely.
Well, this is really quite interesting ... just a few days ago I finished a rough draft of an introduction to my Artlandia Substack, which still exists only as a title and an idea. The thrust of the essay is that I’m inclined to not spend any more time planning what I’m going to do on Substack, I’m not going to do any more workshops with Substack coaches, and instead just start writing it, with no plan. Stumbling upon this piece feels like an affirmation of that instinct.
A beautiful essay. It is such a simple concept, in some ways, especially for someone like me, who has never really been a planner. Thank you, Matt.
