Goodbye
I'm leaving Substack.
Dear Readers,
This will be the last you will hear from me on Substack or in your email.
Over the last 6 months, I have become increasingly disenchanted with Substack. First the app, which I haven’t had for a few months, and recently the whole interface.
Social media is not good for me. I have had similar experiences with Pinterest and Instagram. I somehow think I will be immune to the cesspool that reeks of pride-feeding, joy-sucking, self-flaunting sin. Substack has been something that the devil has slowly, craftily used, masking itself of these evil things.
I am Not Immune. I am Extremely Susceptible. I battle with pride. I wrestle with anxiety. This is a personal experience for me and the reason I must leave. So, I say goodbye. If the Lord wants me to share what I write, He will open another door for me.
May you be faithful to what God lays on your heart. I will always be grateful for the connections I have made and the beautiful writing I can read nearly every day. Social media is just not for me.
Sincerely,
Tristan
p.s. feel free to unsubscribe <3 and thank you for your readership. I will keep my email list if I ever share my writing again, so stay subscribed if you want to possibly hear from me in the future.
ALAS. i am sad to see you go but good on you for following your conviction :))
I am so sorry to hear this, but I COMPLETELY understand! It’s exhausting keeping up with the ebb and flow of social media…a rat-race that I definitely don’t want to subscribe to, but unfortunately get dragged halfway down the river before I thrash and force myself back to the safety of shore. I’ll be praying for you in your new endeavors, and will miss your thoughts and writings, but wish you nothing but the very best! 💜
