Sometimes the first thought in our mind is, What did we do to deserve Sanskriti?! 💜

Yesterday and today were horrible days for me. I just felt who cares even if I don't write. My writing sucks everything sucks but reading your substack made me smile - it gave me the power to finish editing a long piece I was writing. I don't think my piece was perfect, I feel I could have done a better job but atleast its done. I feel a little bit better. Thank you for making me feel better.❤️

Thank you for your kind words, Aditi! Means a lot. I’m glad that you feel better and that you decided to edit your piece of writing. A job well done is good enough; perfection is anyway elusive. Wishing you better days of feeling good and getting happy writing done! Cheers to smiling our way through each other’s little corners of the internet 💛

I love the metaphor of the carpet and the vacuum cleaner, Sanskriti - it is such a perfect description of what writing your upsets feels like. Writing your upsets is actually better than 90% of therapists out there (sad but true). Thank you for this gorgeous reminder of the healing power of our own words ❤️ ❤️❤️

In Sartre's concept of freedom, and bath faith, the key thesis is that we are "condemned to be free", and that, that freedom gives us access to choices, challenges and opportunities that in them have the seed to change the world, and our lives. Writing in its own form, is probably the indelible (pardon the pun) expression of that freedom - limited only by author's horizon. Lovely to read how writing became the tool and reflection of your journey of self-creation/recreation. In words, we confront the absurdity of existence and create the sacred space for crafting our essence. Thanks for writing and all the best for your next chapter
