About Me

Hi, I’m Saomya.

In November of 2020 I started my first journal, a humble google doc I kept pinned next to my college essays so I could write about what was actually on my mind alongside what school required of me. The pandemic was a difficult time for everyone, so naturally my writing origins were shaped by things I wish I said to people, thoughts about my friends and family, and self-reflection on where I am and where I’d like to be.

My writing continued, and with time my journals grew from something I used whenever I needed an outlet to something filled with thoughts about the world, perceptions of its nature, and ideas on how I can step in and change it. I’ve finished two 300+ page journals so far and come to verbalize my opinions into something that could provide value to a greater audience, so I decided to start a blog.
