My Top 5 Posts of 2023
2023 was a busy year for me. I became a full-time freelance writer, moved out of (and back into) NYC, got engaged, lived abroad for 6 months, and started a new corporate job. But of everything I did this year, the thing I’m proudest of is the 32 editions of this newsletter I published.
It wasn’t always easy. In fact, it was never easy. I spent most of my time between writing each article pondering if I would ever be able to write anything decent again in my life. And I have dozens of unpublished drafts to prove it. Even still, this was the most “personal” writing I’ve ever published in a calendar year, which isn’t nothing.
Further, the feedback I’ve received from many of the folks gracious enough to subscribe to this silly publication gives me the strength I need when I’d much prefer to never write another word again. Seeing my writing resonate with readers has been the coolest part of this whole experience.
So with that, I’d like to present a collection of the best articles I published in 2023, and by “best” I mean the ones that received the most pageviews:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
I think these top five are a good representation of what I was interested in this year—from tech and startups to travel to tongue-in-cheek social commentary. Here are a few others I also personally really liked:
I hope you enjoyed subscribing and reading, and I hope you’ll continue to do so in 2024 (and maybe even invite some of your friends!). Thank you for allowing me this platform in your inbox. Having a place to publish and share my writing is all I could ever ask for. I look forward to bringing you more great content in the new year.
