Holiday Special
We spend so much time in a mindless state of absorption online, like soaking wet sponges beneath a flowing tap, no way to be certain what is truly being soaked up, or what is lost in the chaotic stream.
I think we’ve been witnessing a gradual decay in human thought. I’ve felt the decay myself, like rust in the wheel wells of a car. It’s a byproduct of constant motion, traversing, exploring, without taking the time to pause and “clean up”.
I’ve recognized how social media has served as an impediment to what I truly want to be writing. It leaks out sometimes in my poetry, so it’s time to release the floodgates.
If you have enjoyed my words, whether it be poetry, one of my eBooks, or insight on humanity and what it means to be human, then I invite you to upgrade your subscription to my Substack at a 20% discount.
(Paid subscribers will receive 3 posts per week, while free subscribers will receive 1.)
My goal is to make you feel something other than numb, to see things that aren’t simply another iteration according to the zeitgeist, to be reminded of the raw, the absurd, and the beautiful.
I’ve also greatly enjoyed the community I have established on Instagram and want to continue cultivating that on my Substack.
Paid subscriptions are a mere $5/ month ($50/year for annual plans) and will have access to the community chat, where we can engage in deeper dialogue, exchange ideas, and foster friendships with likeminded individuals.
There are other perks for paid subscribers, too, and I’ll only be adding more! Think: audio versions of posts, discounts on future publications, and more.
So, I hope you join me over in the Substack community. Free yourself from the numbness social media so efficiently induces.
Cheers fellow dust speck,
Dan Garrick
