How funny is this? As much as we crave change, as much as we desire new, random, beautiful and out of this world experiences, there is always a part of us that wants to go back to where we started from, to stay close to everything familiar, everything that once felt like home.
This is how I've been since past few months.
I haven't taken a break. I've been writing a lot. I've been reading a lot. I'm well updated in what you guys are up to, what my favorite people are feeling, writing and going through these days and I have a lot to say to you all, so here I go.
It is great to see you back in action Kayla, missed your gorgeous words so much. PeeVee, I am in awe with the way you write bro, how are you so amazing? Oh my god Red, you are back! Did I tell you I stalked you thoroughly when I saw your comment? D your new blog and the name is breathtaking. The last post where you wrote 'Not having something to say shouldn't keep me from writing anymore, I should just write.' I want to thank you for this. Ankita, you woman are shining like a diamond. I am very happy for your latest books love. Soumya, Twisha, Emma, Ridx, Anisha, Keirthana gosh, I missed you ladies (sincere apologies if I've missed out your name). And my readers, both old and new. You make me feel safe, you make me feel at ease whenever I think about this blog and I am incredibly thankful for that. I've realized I get too weepy and sentimental when I write about what this blog has been to me, what you all have been to me and I think the best part is that you being a blogger yourself, can understand this so well. You know there is a mess in our head and it is okay to let it out and feel sooo much at once.
Writing is and will always be the most beautiful form of meditation for me, for us.
I'm currently more active on another platform, Instagram: @writingsofvinati . It is new, it is fresh, more convenient to handle and it gives me that push to outdo myself every time I read my previous posts. I think I have fallen in love with this art all over again. Writing community is as encouraging on Instagram as it is here. But honestly, I do miss the familiarity of Blogger, the familiarity of having friends who have seen me evolve, seen me grow into a less confused and wayward being. So if you are on Instagram, do drop by and say hi. I would love to see you there.
Lastly, here is my current favorite song for you. This is how you make me feel.
Lana Del Rey: Because of you (unreleased)
I think I should get a tattoo of her name. I'm clearly obsessed.
That's all for now.
I hope to see you on the other side.

Me? Please. Your Instagram has me drooling every time you post.
ReplyDeleteThis better not be some kind of goodbye. You're one of the last of my original faves; if y'all leave, I'm definitely shutting shop. No kidding.
no no, it's not a goodbye. just a change of season.

ReplyDeleteClearly, I didn't make it to the list. Anyhow WOW, your insta is epic. I would have given a like spree but thought better of it.
