Hey you,

If you’re reading this, something brought you here. Maybe an old link, maybe you just stumbled in, maybe you’ve been with me since day one. Doesn’t matter. You’re here now. And that already means the world.

Today I’m officially opening this newsletter on Beehiiv. Yeah, it’s “just” a platform change. Yeah, I already have two posts floating around. But for me, this is post #1 for real. This is the one that says: here we go again.

Because starting over isn’t about a prettier layout or a custom domain. Starting over is deciding — once again — that it’s still worth it.

And damn, some days it hurts like hell.

I’ve opened the editor, typed three lines, and deleted everything. I’ve wondered “who even reads this shit anyway?” I’ve heard the voice that says quit while you still can, loud and clear.

But progress was never a straight line. Progress is limping forward. Progress is swallowing the lump in your throat and hitting publish with shaky hands. Progress is one tiny step when your legs feel like they weigh a ton.

And the craziest part? You’re never doing it alone.

I’m limping right beside you. There are thousands of us out there, limping at our own pace, carrying our own pain, writing our own stories. We meet in the comments, in the DMs, in the quiet “I read this and felt less alone”.

So let me say three simple things:

This newsletter has a new home, but the promise stays the same: I’ll keep showing up — raw, messy, trying. And as long as I show up, there’s always a seat for you.

Welcome, for real. Let’s keep walking. One step at a time.

With love, Jairo
