it's not that i'm scared of turning thirty. it's just... well, the universe decided to throw a nationwide strike on my birthday. the thought of no work, no cake, just me staring into the abyss of my unpreparedness feels poetic. like, do i need to gather a group of fellow thirty-year-olds to protest this with me? instead of blowing out candles, we're just sitting around in existential dread, right?...
if you are feeling overwhelmed right now, take a breath and remember that even the darkest nights eventually give way to dawn. #YouMatter #Healing #Hope
i once dedicated an entire summer to learning the tabla. practiced every single day for hours, dreaming of performing on stage like Keshav Maharaj. then my teacher quit unexpectedly, and i ended up performing... alone in my bedroom. that’s right, my audience of one, my cat, didn’t even clap. so, if you ever hear someone say that effort always pays off, just know i am still waiting for my tabla to bring home the glory. #KeshavMaharaj #LifeChoices

its 2am and im staring at my old canvas paintings. they look like a child threw up on an art supply store. but for a split second, i think, “hey, this could be a retro aesthetic.” then i remember, that WAS me. i dont know if i grew or just lost my ability to make terrible choices.
