So it's been over a year and a bit since the COVID-19 pandemic hit and I'm sure like many did, if not all of us, I have expanded my ways of creative expression!
Welcome! To my... blog??
Do people even still read blogs?
I don't even know who I'm writing to at this point! This is basically just me journaling like I have been since ... well ... for as long as I can remember.
Hi. My name is Hera Nalam.
I am a 25 year old strugglin' artist, living through this weird ass time in history.. just like you.
How are you feeling today?
Before you read on, thank you for taking the time to get to know me. I appreciate you!
You must be wondering "Why share your thoughts now, Hera?"
I guess it's the same reason as to why everyone else is suddenly picking up new or even old hobbies fast in the last year. Or he same reason why everyone's sleep schedule is fucked. (shoot me a DM on IG if you're reading this past midnight hah)
And the same reason why we've all had to somehow adapt into an introverted lifestyle.
COVID is WHACK. Don't you think?
I have never felt so disconnected like this before. It's not exactly terrifying, but it's extremely uncomfortable. I guess the more I pondered over this discomfort I found myself thinking,
"I can't possibly be the only one that feels this way. Right?"
So here I am. Writing to ... whoever is reading this.
I hope the next couple entries will somehow make you feel less alone. I'm not exactly sure what I'm going to be writing about yet but I still hope that reading these little afterthoughts I get late at night will make you feel that way. You're not alone ok?
Talk to you soon.
