hello,

 

 

I turned 20 this year. (cue the existential dread)

The 19^th year of my life has been spent answering people with ‘almost 20’ whenever I am asked about my age. Consciously aware of the impending crisis of the 20s, I hadn’t been fazed by it, that is until tonight of course.

This is the decade I shall leave education behind, the routine of going to an institution, learning facts word to word, preparing and appearing for a test and having regular vacations, will be broken. The awareness of the new habit that I have to adopt frightens my inner hobbit. Moreover, the ever-so-looming adulthood that brings a different ‘must do’ list into the picture, a list of ‘societal pressures’, if you may, makes it harder than it is.

It feels like I am on the first step of my journey, where the hero refuses the adventure thrown at them.

So, how is this related to the website? Well, this is me creating a corner in the virtual world where I can express myself, a space for me to get over my imposter syndrome,(or maybe a place where I realise that my craft is actual crap) and for me to become braver and more confident in the work that I do.

So I present to you, a chronicle of my complaints!

Here’s to hoping that this online venture of mine does not make me squirm in my seat 10 years down the line.

Virtual hugs,

Tanishq 🙂
