Hello, World! (v.2)

I’m back at it again. After a very long break since I started blogging in 2020, I’m here yet again. I think I’m ready this time. Or maybe not; we’ll see.

I’m here because I want to document the most transforming and happening phase of my life. I can’t afford to miss anything. And being gifted with the memory of a goldfish, the only way I can do that is by writing down things in this time capsule that I’ll come back to in the next 7 years, 7 months and 1 day.

What Changed?

Now naturally, you would be thinking, “Why now, though? What has changed since 2020 that you feel ready to put yourself out there on the internet so unabashedly, Khayati?”

Well, you see, when I was talking to someone about this idea of rekindling my blog, I told her I felt too nervous or unsure or unprepared and a hundred different feelings that screamed, “I’m not good enough yet.” And she said, and I quote, “Bro, it’s really not that deep.”

And this transformed something fundamental in me. Like flicking a switch. It was that easy. No one cares. Literally no one. Wanna know why? Because everyone thinks everyone’s looking at them when, in reality, everyone is actually too worried about what everyone will think of them. Get it?

I can’t even begin to explain the amount of weight that has reduced from my tiny shoulders ever since I’d let that message sink in. I had been carrying that weight since 2020, and I never realised it. I do realise it now, that it’s gone.

What can you expect?

Now getting to the specifics, I’m aiming at posting once a week. The posts would alternate between “spilling the tea about the hot new things in my life” and “3 a.m. soul talks with my notes app” with a little something different in the mix thrown here and there.

This blog has been in the works for a whole month now. I’ve spent so many nights trying to understand WordPress and designing the blog, then actually publishing it. It took a lot of effort and courage. But I’m so glad I’m doing this. I really hope you like it as much as I liked writing this.

Thanks for being here. Hope you find something worth staying for in this little corner of my Storyboard.
