This really resonates with me Rachna! Like you, I love being near the water and try to do it as often as a possibly can, which isn't nearly enough! I especially love what you said about discovering a part of yourself you didn't know existed. It's a bit like trying a new exercise and the next day you're feeling it muscles you didn't even know you had 😅

Towards the end of last year I really leaned into trying new artistic experiences and discovered French Knitting in the process. Now I'm slowly decorating my house with my new creations! Thank you for sharing your story, it was lovely reading it 💜

I am so glad to read this comment. Today I read James Clear's newsletter and came across this beautiful line on why writing something matters - "there is someone out there with a wound in the exact shape of your words." Thanks :) I would love to see your knitting work. Good luck with the creative endeavour. I also plan to decorate my space with art made by me :)

Thank you! 🙏🏾 I love that quote, so encouraging for those of us who still feel little apprehensive about sharing our thoughts, words, or creative work.
