I'll Be Back in 2024, and I'll Be 40
If you're reading this, thank you for supporting me!
The last four months have been a wild ride - ever since I was notified of T-Mobile laying me off on August 31st, I’ve lost some of my best friends, my family thinks I’m crazy and they don’t want to hear a word I have to say, I turned down an insane amount of money, and I’ve been censored and silenced on every social media platform.
Free Speech Isn’t Free
The majority of people in my life have no idea what I’m exposing, they have no idea how I’m fighting for America’s future with my words, they have no idea about how America is falling apart while they’re being lied to from every angle of their life.
I’m not mad at any of those people, but I am disappointed in them, because all of them should know the type of person I am by now — I’m not a liar, I’m not a cheater, and I genuinely care about people. I’m an open book, I say what’s on my mind, sometimes I sound stupid, sometimes I sound smart, but I’m always being me and saying what I want 100% of the time.
I’m disappointed with the people who distanced themselves from me, because when I needed my friends and family the most, is when most of them decided to stop associating with me because I’m saying things outside of the socially engineered speech that’s allowed in America in 2023.
I told my family I was turning down my $146k severance package - nobody cared
My X/Twitter account was suspended for 55 days - nobody cared
My social accounts were locked down from commenting - nobody cared
Multiple people close to me shared they didn’t support what I was saying. It’s all good, I don’t need people close to me to care, but I expected them to care and it’s my fault for having that expectation.
I’ll Catch My Break
While I’ve lost support from some friends and family, I’ve gained support from strangers online who understand what I’m exposing.
I’ve received positive messages about my content, some of my online heroes have liked and shared my content, and some people understand I’m risking my life by exposing what I’m exposing. It’s only a matter of time before one of my stories or posts goes viral, and it would have already happened if I were allowed to grow organically on social media.
2024 Is My Year
I’m launching my $5/month subscription model on January 15, 2024. I’m betting on myself and I’m going to succeed, because I’ve learned how to use my voice and skills to produce truthful content that people will appreciate.
I’m thankful for the last four months being hard AF on me! I learned a lot about where and how I need to launch my journalism, I learned free speech is dying, I learned how hard it is to speak truth during dark times, and I learned Substack is my home for building my independence.
Stay Tuned - I’ll share more about my subscription model in January.
Thank You!
Whether you’re a stranger supporting me, or a friend or family member who stopped supporting me, I want you to know I appreciate you! You’ve helped me learn along the way and I hope you’re ready for my breakout year, because 2024 is my year!
With Love - Marc Palasciano
