Heyy

It’s past midnight here. Beyond my window the world is engulfed in darkness, it isn’t much different inside. I don’t know why I’m writing this, maybe because on some days all I want to be is heard and this way at least I can pretend that someone out there is willing to listen, may it be that loud man living in the building next to mine or some stranger wrapped like a burrito in their blanket in another corner of the world. I haven’t really decided what I’m going to write on this platform, mostly just musings. All I do know is that through this I want to get better at expressing myself authentically. I want to be teeth clatteringly terrified as I talk about my days, as I bare the turmoil, the turbulence or the peace that come with them. This is an experiment for myself, not to gain any followers or earn any money but just to write without apprehension or even thought. I don’t think anyone will read this but I’ll still pretend you’re here, going through my words, hearing my voice even though you’ve never heard my voice. To you, the person who may or may not be reading this, I just want to say — Hey, I’m looking forward to being your friend.

love,

Nitya
