Storytelling, to me, is a way to stay visible without being known. A way to survive without stopping. It commands silence. Stillness. And if you do it long enough, well enough, you stop asking the dangerous question: Who am I when there is no audience?
It looked pretty cool!

Downtown Denver.

Nature doesn’t disappear. It just perches.

Absolutely love your figures!
When I go for a walk, I carry a camera. But, it comes with a load. And I feel it. In the shoulders. In the breath. In the way I stand half a step further back than necessary.

The natural storyteller, as I had understood of myself, was someone who could adapt endlessly. Someone who could read a room and become what it needed. Someone whose value lay in responsiveness, in elasticity, in emotional intelligence sharpened by necessity.

The number of good air days are shrinking massively in Delhi. Only 1 in the last 2760 days was great. 176 days had acceptable air quality (largely because of monsoon). If this is not national emergency, I don't know what is?
For someone with ADHD, unfinished things — open tabs, half-read messages, open packets — all scream for closure. Chaos is default. Closure is rare. Brushing my teeth gave me that closure, two minutes at a time. It was physical, repetitive, soothing. It made me feel done.
Interesting indeed! We are in a time warp, Stefan. Maybe these are future papers.

When you live your entire life as a performance, storytelling is not something you learn. It is something that happens to you. Like a second skin. Like breathing.
And after enough years of doing that, the question comes—who are you when there is no audience?

This is shocking even for a pessimist like me.
Room 101 exists. It is not a concept. It is not a theory. It’s not merely imagination of George Orwell. It is real. It is real because I made it real. It is no coincidence, in Oslo, I lived in the apartment 101. When I arrived in Reading, I stayed in room 101.

I do not know when it began.
The peeling.
Maybe it was always happening, so slow and quiet that I never noticed it at first. Maybe it was only when the layers started coming off faster, rawer, that I finally felt it. The sting. The ache.
I have a suitcase. No matter where I go, what I do, or how fast I run, it follows me like a shadow. It’s heavy. It’s unwieldy. It’s not optional. #booksky #readdiverse
