Everyone's good, I'm good too. Everyone's really good, I'm not bad. Everyone's SO good, I… have imposter syndrome.

I need my space but also sit next to me but also don't speak to me but also let me love you but also know when to leave me alone. I ask for very little.

Why did the sun never tell me it beams off moonlight and carries her in its cradle?

You were handed a life but not taught to live it. And that's the best and the worst part of living: the joy of discovery and the ache of emptiness.

Few things make me sadder than hearing someone say β€œI don't like this person because they're too nice.”

I cannot imagine the distrust one must have experienced in their life to not be able to believe in the goodness of people. These are the people I instantaneously wanna hug.

It's okay for the mind to be a little empty if it makes your heart full

Getting back into translations - finally picked up this author-signed copy. The work is originally in Kannada and has earned a lot of critical acclaim in India

The only teeny tiny gap between me and my novel’s publishing is its writing, but everyone tells me to not worry about the minor details so I won't bother with such trivialities.
