Hello Curious Minds,
It’s Juneteenth—Freedom Day—a moment when we pause to reflect on freedom, history, and what it means to be truly aware of our shared story. I usually either take the day off or send out a short note on holidays, but this time, I felt like sharing more.
First things first: I want to say how grateful I am for each of you. The Core started as a wild little dream, just me hoping to make sense of a chaotic world. But somehow, together, we’ve built this incredible community. You’re not just a reader; you’re part of something that feels a lot like family.
And honestly? I miss hearing from you. Yes, even if you disagree with me or tell me where I went wrong. Thanks for every heartfelt reply, every quick joke, every roast. It lets me know you’re here, engaged, and caring.
So, let’s reignite that spark. Reply to this email—tell me what you love, hate, or desperately want to change about The Core. I’m here, genuinely eager to listen (and respond).
Now, some exciting news: We’re officially on Instagram! Expect exclusive stories, behind-the-scenes chaos, and the same sharp humor and insight you love here. If you haven’t yet, please hit the follow button—your support on social media truly makes a difference.
If The Core makes your mornings better (or even just bearable), could you spare a minute to leave a quick review? Your words help us grow and reach more like-minded, thoughtful readers.
This newsletter is and always will be free—but it’s also powered by caffeine and late-night pizza. If you’ve found value here, a small favor: your reviews, shares, and coffees (or three!) mean the world. They keep the lights on and let us keep doing what we love—bringing you clear, thoughtful, and meaningful content every day.
Juneteenth reminds us that freedom, connection, and community are the heart of everything. Let’s celebrate it by uplifting one another, acknowledging our shared histories, and striving for a better tomorrow.
So, thank you for being here. For reading. For replying. For occasionally yelling at me. You’re why this little project matters. You’re why it thrives. I couldn’t do it without you.
Here’s to freedom, growth, and a future we’re creating hand-in-hand.
Warmly, sincerely, and (yes, really) waiting for your reply,
Fatih Taskiran
Founder & Chief Daydreamer at The Core
