About Arinze’s Notes

I started this newsletter in 2021 to share my tiny thoughts on adulting in the 2020s.

Back then, it was called Arinze’s Weekly.

After a 4-month streak, I struggled with consistency. First, I missed a week. Then another. Eventually, I stopped publishing altogether.

I’ve been on hiatus since, briefly interrupted by stories that clawed their way out of me.

During those four years, I wrestled with what this newsletter should be:
Personal or professional? Explorative or declarative? Serif or sans serif?

It took a writing class in business school to realize: it can be all of the above.

Arinze’s Weekly is now Arinze’s Notes.

I’m fascinated by the loneliness epidemic. I think it’s the most urgent and most difficult problem of my generation: Gen Z.

So naturally, I tend to write about culture, creative technology, and human connection—but you’ll find the occasional story on other things, too.

If something here hits a nerve—or makes you think wtf—I’d love to hear from you.

I may not respond right away, but I’ll read it. And I’ll reply as soon as I can.

Hope you enjoy your time here.

With ❤️,

Arinze O. (about me)
