living life one word at a time.


For me, poetry isn’t simply expression, but rather the method in which to collect myself and piece me back together; my poetry is an amalgamation of who I’ve been, who I am and who I might become.

About Me

Hi!

I’m Prisha Khimavat, and this is my little space on the internet. In the 4 years or so that I have been sharing my thoughts and ideas here, this blog has always reflected who I was, and the things that I was focusing on in my life.

When I first started this blog in 2017, it was called The Roses in the Ashes. That version of this space focused on finding the positives in a stressful time. As a 16-year-old junior in high school, my main priority was trying to figure out who I was and what I wanted to do with the rest of my life. So I decided to start a blog where I could focus on the positives and at least a couple of times a month get away from all the confusion I was feeling.

Then, in 2018, once I had already made some decisions about college, and was moving away from home for the first time,  I wanted a place where I could process my feelings about change, and share my thoughts and stories about all sorts of things. So, I changed my domain name and renamed this space to Prisha Khimavat.  I wrote in a poetic style about abstract concepts, childhood memories, or even streams of consciousness. For the past two years, this has been my state of mind, and my blog has reflected that.

Now, though I still need a place where I can share my experiences through poetry and stories, my areas of interest have grown. There are more topics I want to write about and styles of writing I want to explore, and it’s time for this space to reflect that. I’m currently exploring self-care, mental health, productivity, and personal growth in my own life,  so those are some topics I will be writing about and sharing my experiences regarding. I also really enjoy beauty/fashion and entertainment, so I might be writing a bit about that as well. I’m sure as I continue blogging some of these interests will narrow down, but as of now, my intention is to write more lifestyle and self-care related content.

I recognize that as a young woman entering her early twenties, writing about her interests, that not everything will be relevant to everyone. However, I will still be writing some of the poetry based content that I always have. So, I hope that as I’m exploring my interests, you’re able to find something here for yourself too.

All that being said, I’m sure this blog will evolve again within a few years as I evolve, but until then, I hope you’ll join me on this journey.

Living life, one word at a time.
