I Owe You A Proper Hello...

Let’s start this the way we should have...

Hi. Again.

I’ve been writing here for a bit.

But… two things, actually:

Somehow, I skipped the part where I told you who I am.
I also realized I’ve been showing up here like I’m sneaking into my own house.
Dropping thoughts. Leaving before anyone could say, “Wait, who even are you?”

So, let’s try this properly.

I’m NOJ.

Some might tell you I’m a marketing nerd.
Others will say, “Oh! That’s NOJ, the chaotic one.”
Another might go, “There’s NOJ — the one who knows everything.”

Uhmm…

They’re not wrong. I’d say I am.

Not one thing.
Not trying to be.

I curate. I create. I rebuild. I rethink.

I think a lot.
Bruhh… I OVERTHINK.

Seeeeesh! Might need help here.

This space — Quirky by NOJ — started as my brain dump.
This is where I let the thoughts land.
Where I document the bits in-between.

I literally started this newsletter because my brain needed somewhere to go.
And because I wanted a space that could grow with me, through chaos, clarity, launches, rebrands, relapses, pivots, and peace.

All of it.

It still is.

But now…

Now, I want it to be more.

In honor of these thoughts.
In honor of YOU and the others to come.

Let’s call this The Third Place.

Where we talk. Think. Build. Reimagine.

I want this to be more than “Here’s what I’m working on.”

So…

If you’re new here or just quietly watching,

This space is for musings.
For the work.
For the art.
For the behind-the-scenes.
For the scent of things before they fully bloom.

I want you here. Genuinely.

For the days you want something real.
For the moments when you’re figuring it out but still moving.
For the love of what isn’t fully figured out.

And because I actually care about community — not just vanity metrics — I want to know you.

Where are you reading from?
What are you navigating right now?
What are you secretly dreaming of?

Hit reply. Don’t overthink it.
Let’s not do this thing one-sided.

Like I wrote earlier, No more ghosting, so…. talk soon.

xx
NOJ

P.S. I mean it. Reply and say hey. I want to know who’s reading this.

P.P.S. Your response would make my day :)
