Wow I found myself completing the whole thing and that's motivated me to write and create something of my own. I do relate to you Kriti.. And wow what if one day we'll become friends. I think people who share the same pain I can trust them a little more. If you read this them heyy Kriti I'm vaidehi living in India and umm idk how to introduce myself to make me seem interesting. Okay I'm not very simple and I have a lot of stories to share things to talk about plus one thingggg I know your fav book is normal people that was my first book.. I want to hear about that from you what for you make that book so special..
Hi Vaidehi. Thank you for reading this article and dropping this lovely comment. The fact you know what my favourite book is really makes my heart so full. Please feel free to drop me a dm on instagram. Sending you lots of love.
In a space right now too where I’m exploring what it means to experience connection, through self & with others, plants, animals, space, time, the rhythms of days and emotions. Like you say though, the record of broken ones stands strong, too, takes so much courage to reconnect. Wishing you love and power along the way. In solace and bounty, while holding hands and in being held. In every way possible really. Feel like many can relate to this
This was so beautifully written, i couldn't find the words to express myself like this in million years. Thank you for writing this, i really needed it and i really needed to be reminded that i am not alone in this journey. You worded everything so beautifully, just like you said, i crave connection, but i am afraid of falling back into the same loop (that's my way of summary haha). I don't know whether i have attachment issues and feel so deeply after getting my heart broken or i am just too emotional and feel everything deep in my heart. But for so long, ever since i was a little girl i would always get jealous of the girl who had big friend groups or those who could just meet new people and instantly connect, for me it was always a bit harder, back then because i thought i wasn't good enough, funny or pretty enough to have friends, now because i am scared of being disappointed again. Every now and then i get reminded of every time i have cried and begged people to be my friends, to like me, apologizing for thing i didn't even do, just to have someone, just so i don't lose them. I would transform myself into different versions of myself to fit into their narrative, putting myself and my needs in the back, just so they can be happy, and still nothing. What i am about to say next is going to sound very stupid, but every time i see those friendship trends on tiktok or people posting their bestfriends on their, i get extremely envious, "why not me?" i ask myself. Don't get me wrong, i have many amazing friends, however i don't have that closure with them, you know the one you see in movies or read in books about, where you can vent about something and they listen to you, or they call you in the middle of the night because they need you or just want to yap to you, or doing crazy stuff together... I don't have that, i have people who i respect and eventually when they're free, we go get coffee... Maybe it's just me, but friendships are much more important to me, than romantic relationships. Anyway i am so sorry for this long paragraph, i just needed to vent, you can totally ignore everything i have said, but i really was touched by your essay, and wanted to share my feelings on here. But trust me, i know one day you're going to get the closure and love from someone, because you're so amazing and talented, and it is truly a privilege for someone to know you.
you may not be able to address your younger self, but you reached me, a sixteen year old still reeling from my first real heartbreak and battling the question of whether it was worth it. it was, all of it. thank you, kriti.
I found myself in every bit of this piece. You're a beautiful writer and this was extraordinary and vulnerable and introspective and I loved every second of it🤍

I felt so calm while reading this, because the feelings finally felt like my own. Your writing feels home, you're healing something.
