homecoming

beloved starshine,

yes, i am officially making a newsletter. is this another excuse to have an outlet to let out my emotions and scream about things i love? perhaps, but i'm overflowing with emotions and cannot wait to usher in this emotional journey with you all. i’m excited to navigate this space and to simply talk.

welcome home, dear reader, and prepare to have your heart filled with delectation, one letter at a time.

the truth is, social media, with all its filters and perfectly curated feeds often leaves me feeling the same way—rehearsed. i am someone who overthinks, so even as someone who is posting casually, i begin to overanalyze what i’m saying and what i’m sharing. i try to alter every detail and gradually start to become a little bit of a bot. but NO MORE. i’ve spent a lot of my life always catering to others, i still kind of do, i am still so naive, i know pretty much what i like and dislike but i somehow always end up trapped in cycles that seem to repeat endlessly. i always dreamt of creating a sanctuary, a space that feels like home. a space that celebrates vulnerability and chaos, where you can unwind, find comfort, and experience a sense of togetherness even from afar. i intend to provide a gentle respite from the chaos, offering you a space where you can laze, be raw, and feel noticed.

anyway, i just wanted to take a moment to extend my deep appreciation for your existence and support. nestled within these letters, i hope you come upon a warm and comforting oasis that will wrap you in a hug each time you open a newsletter. feel free to reach out to me at any time; i’m here to listen and learn from each one of you. this is not just a newsletter; it's a safe space, a place where you are seen and appreciated. i want you to know that you are never alone. i am here, as an existing presence, walking alongside you, ready to lend a listening ear, a comforting word. i am here, pouring my heart and soul into each letter, to ensure that you find comfort and a sense of belonging within these pages.

in a world that sometimes feels disjointed and fast-paced, i feel it is essential to find cheer and connection amidst the chaos, from time to time. let this newsletter serve as a reminder that you are seen, heard, and valued. whenever you open an issue, i hope you feel like you've found a home, a place where your love is celebrated and understood. remember; the goal is to exist freely!

if even one person wants to listen, then that’s enough for me. it really is. so thank you. you are all enough for me, and i think that’s a little proof in itself that you mean more than you think you do, because here i am. this little human on this internet that is so, SO, happy to have you here. i don’t know. thank you. thank you. thank you.

i love you.
take care and i promise autumn will do it’s magic, it will take away all our seasonal sorrows.

love,
your tiny human friend sanaya.
