Thought I’d have life all figured out by 25.
I’m weeks away from 29, and still winging it.

Wrote about the quiet chaos of your twenties, and why maybe it’s okay to not have it all sorted.

An ode to one of my favourite books of all times. Pride and Prejudice.

Dear brain,
For once can you please under think a situation instead?
Thanks,

I thought I’d miss home when I moved away.

But what I missed more was the girl I became when I finally learned to live on my own terms.

A piece about freedom, loneliness, and the weird phase of figuring out life when no one’s watching you.

Multiple ideas, first drafts ready, and yet I didn’t have time to make a single one ready and publish on Substack this weekend 🥲

Some authors are like comfort food.
you return to them when life feels loud, or lonely, or just a little off.

Here are mine. https://t.co/CYMeYdTd0j

Just dropped a list of glimmers — aka the tiny joys keeping me from turning into a full-time cynic.

Filter coffee isn’t just a drink.

It’s ritual, memory, comfort - in a steel tumbler/cup.

So much I want to do. So little I actually get done. Not laziness but just the weight of everything.

One small thing at a time, I remind myself.

And the one that really got me:
✨ “You need to read a lot to be a reader.”
(One book a year still counts.)

Moral of the story:
Read what you want.
Ignore the rules.
And don’t take advice from someone who made fun of Twilight in 2010.

[Nandhini Jeyachandran @theardentleo]

Bookish myths I totally fell for as a baby reader 📚✨🧵

✨ “You’re not a real reader if you don’t finish every book.”
(You are. DNF is peace.)

✨ “Fast reading = better reading.”
(Spoiler: it’s not a race.)

✨ “Your shelf should be aesthetic.”
(It can just hold books.)

[Nandhini Jeyachandran @theardentleo]

✨ “You have to read the classics.”
(Nope. Read what you love.)

✨ “Audiobooks don’t count.”
(They absolutely do.)

✨ “Rereading is a waste.”
(It’s comfort. Not a crime.)

✨ “Reading should be serious.”
(Fictional chaos is fun.)

[Nandhini Jeyachandran @theardentleo]

Frivolity is what makes hard moments of life bearable. It’s a great way of celebrating and getting joy out of the every day mundane life.

[Nandhini Jeyachandran @theardentleo]

What happens to the characters after the story ends? The ones we barely notice but can’t forget.

Maybe we’re all someone’s background character and that’s okay.
