You won’t be liked by everyone; you’re not a croquette.
(Of course it sounds way better in Spanish when said by Isabel Coixet: "no le vas a gustar a todo el mundo, no eres una croqueta."
I really enjoy writing my newsletter where you can read about everything from experimenting with Figma Make, to how I've streamlined my services, all the systems I'm moving to Notion and a new community of designers I've discovered. There are always footnotes for my mum.
Call it a candid business diary if you will.

Not bad but just similar
Same clean font, colors and polished feel
