First things first, these posts are actually the letters I send to my mailing list, which you can subscribe to here.
Now, what we are going to do, which is to introduce ourselves:
What is this and why now?
I've been thinking about starting a newsletter (or a blog, or an epistolary series) almost since before launching the web. And the truth is that I had never started because starting to write this post almost paralyzed me. I never dare to start, because I don't know if I have something to tell or, worse, if it's going to interest someone in the slightest.
But if I have discovered something about myself in the last year, it is that either I do things or things die waiting to be perfect. And if I like to write and I feel like it now... so be it.
Theoretically, in this first post I'm supposed to explain what you're going to find here, how often you're going to find it and why. I'm going to be very honest: right now I don't think I can answer any of those questions. I only know that I want to share what is coming. The successes, the triumphs, the stumbling blocks and the falls. All. What is coming is convenient, what my friend M says.
In short, you have to start somewhere, and there is no better way to break the ice than by taking the first blow with the chisel.

And now that?
Well, that said, you will receive more entries from this newspaper if you subscribe. I don't know how many, I don't know how often, but I promise to tell you what makes me, every day, have reasons to use the hashtag #mefaltavidaparasonreir.
