Education Next- Hundred and eighty fifth Edition
Hello everyone,
Goodbye for Now ❤️
A Note After 186 Weeks of Writing
When I started this newsletter 186 weeks ago, I didn’t have a fixed plan or a grand strategy.
I simply wanted a space where I could write freely — share the stories unfolding in my life, the articles that shaped my thinking, and the ideas I was exploring.
Over time, this newsletter became much more than a writing habit. It became a record of my growth.
I wrote about homeschooling, worldschooling, alternative learning, parenting, technology, AI, creativity, travel, and the future of learning.
Each phase of my life showed up here in some form.
Every week reflected where I was, what I was questioning, what I was building, and what I was learning along the way.
Many of you have been here through all the shifts — when I changed directions, tried new formats, experimented, collaborated, paused, resumed, lost clarity, found clarity again… and kept writing anyway. For that, I’m deeply grateful.
Along the way, I also trusted people, worked closely with others, and learnt a lot about how humans show up — in good ways and in confusing ways.
A few things felt off, and I’m still making sense of them. Not everything went as expected, and I currently have many things to sort out.
It’s a tough phase, but I know I’ll find my way through it.
Its time to concentrate on other projects and responsibilities that need my attention.
My work, my learning, and the things I want to build next require a different kind of focus.
Continuing this newsletter just for the sake of consistency would not be honest — either to me or to you.
So, after 186 weeks, I’m choosing to step away from this space for now.
I don’t know what shape my writing will take in the future, or where it will live next, but I do know that this newsletter has served its purpose beautifully.
It helped me grow, stay accountable, and stay connected with people who cared enough to read what I wrote week after week.
If you have my number, you already know you can reach out anytime.
Conversations don’t end just because a newsletter does.
Thank you for being part of this journey — for reading, replying, supporting, questioning, and giving me the confidence to keep sharing my thoughts for so long.
This is not goodbye forever, just a pause.
Goodbye for now.
