Anjali!! I feel we have some cosmic connection because we are eerily similar! Our choice of articles / topics we write on, our multi-hyphenated personalities…. This list goes on. I literally made a YouTube video on this very same topic and have written on this concept of ‘’me’ which is always evolving and fluid! So stoked to have found you in this corner of the internet!

Very interesting sum up of your personality. Bullet point is a great way to write about oneself. It is hard to capture our multifaceted personalities any other way.

Happy for your say, Neera. Yes, bulletins are indeed the best to keep it aligned and summarised. Appreciate the support

Have you ever felt like the idea of "you" is constantly shifting, never quite settling into one definition?

This really resonated with me because it speaks to how identity is fluid, not something that can be boxed into a single description.

The way you embrace life without rigid plans, trusting that things will fall into place, is such a freeing perspective. It reminds me of moments where I tried to force a specific path, only to realize later that the detours led to something even better.

Your thoughts on letting go of the “life checklist” really stood out—so many people feel pressured to follow a set timeline, but in reality, everyone’s journey unfolds differently.

The balance between dreams, intuition, and curiosity is what makes life so interesting, and it’s inspiring to see how you embrace that. It’s a great reminder that we don’t have to define ourselves too rigidly—we can just be, and that’s enough. 🌿

Yass, Jonathan! You keep evolving day after day, moment after moment. No one is ever static in their past. The more you embrace change, the more it transforms you. Let the stories define us, not our rigid notions of who we are! Happy that you enjoyed and resonated with this! <3

Hey Anjali, this felt like a conversation across the table while sipping chai ☕️

I took an a jack of all trades, knew commerce wouldn’t take me anywhere post college, keep fighting procrastination, love Biriyani, have a crush on NYC and knowing myself deeper everyday 🥰

I got goosebumps reading this.

So much of what you wrote about yourself reminds me of me. I never thought to write about myself in this manner, but you’ve inspired me to try it!

So happy to connect with you.

Beautifully written. It’s seems like the world wants us to present and be known for one thing while we are a little ocean blooded, multifaceted, ever changing. It resonates thanks for sharing.

Gotta be proud, cuz people struggle with being awake a lot! It's so amazing to know new perspectives and think in galleries, as much as forgetting our worries and grooving to music! Happy we resonate, Claire! ✨

I LOVE this list. I laughed at #25, because I've always said I've done life "upside-down, inside-out" compared to "normal people." I have German shepherd grandpups, and cherished my own GS for 14 years - still miss her daily. And I too, enjoy my own company. (I'm the only one who gets all my jokes. Ha.) I look forward to your newsletter.

Oh, I love this, Tracy!! Being upside-down and inside-out is the best way to live your life! Aww! I'm sure your cute, smartie pups bring a lot of goodness into your life! Keep rocking at life! Sending love from India! 💖
