Um, but I, I'm just a weird person who's me and, uh, I don't check a lot of the normal boxes and, and,

I like that about myself and I'm so glad I finally let myself be who I am.

It is so powerful.

It is so validating.

You know,

Every now and then people are like, why don't you hire an assistant editor and have other people write... I mean, Oldster is mostly written by other people.

It's contributors contributing personal essays and Oldster questionnaires and sober Oldster questionnaires.

Most of the content is written by other people, although I've added a weekly letter from the editor.

But...

But, you know, the questions are framed by me.

There are intros where I speak up.

And I don't think I want someone else's voice as the host.

You know, I really don't want that.

I...

I also don't know that people would respond as well.

Someone whose newsletter I really, really love has started having more guest hosts, guest featured people, and I don't respond to it as well.

I don't even read it the way I read it before because it's not that person that made me really connect with the newsletter.

So I don't want to do that to oldster.

And also, I'm just really loving connecting with everybody.

That's the whole thing.
