I had written my last piece here on May 30th, 2021. Now, almost 4 years later, a few days after my 24th birthday, I’ve come back.
In the last 4 years a lot has changed, I’ve moved countries twice, I’ve graduated from university, I wrote a book, I cofounded a company and I got married. So it’s been a lot.
But when I came home from my birthday dinner with my husband (that’s still weird to say) and my some of my closest friends, I saw a trend on Instagram. People are hypothesising what a conversation/coffee with their younger self would look like. Essentially thinking back to what their younger self was excited or worried about and how that compared to their present.
As a writer, my first instinct was to think about what my younger self’s dreams and fears were, and honestly, I couldn’t remember. Well lucky for me, I was an avid writer in my late teens, so I actually have complete access to what I used to think then. So, I spent hours reading through every single piece I have ever written, that I hadn’t read in years and there’s one thing I really just have to say.
Thank you, younger me.
The perspective shift that reading these blogs again has been for me is one that I am not able to materialise into words right now. Man, younger Prisha had some interesting things to say and just reading it again there’s so much I want to say to her, so much I want to add to the conversations, so I have decided to do exactly that.
I haven’t written on this blog in years, but I’m going to again. I’m going to start responding to older pieces, add more, offer different perspectives, offer my current views on the same topics, just talk to a younger version of me.
Secretly I’m hoping that doing that will get me to write more about other things anyways.
Let’s see, no promises, but hopefully more reflection and reminiscing.
I’m excited.
Love,
Prisha
