Hey people!

I'm shutting down this blog and newsletter.

Goodbye.

Your friend - Anjoona

...

LOL, imagine if I actually ended it there! The drama! The mystery! The unanswered questions!

But nah, you deserve the real story, so buckle up.

Picture this: It's been 9 months, 30+ posts, and I've basically been that friend who says "I'm fine" while juggling flaming torches. Because here's my dirty little secret, I'm completely addicted to doing ALL THE THINGS.

I literally cannot sit still. My hands need to be creating, my brain needs seventeen projects running simultaneously, and my soul needs constant feeding with new adventures. A normal, predictable routine makes me break out in metaphorical hives. I need variety like plants need sunlight.

The irony? Change terrifies me! So my brilliant solution is to create SO MUCH controlled chaos in my life that regular change feels like child's play. It's like exposure therapy.

Here's where it gets messy: This newsletter became my comfort zone. Writing feels like breathing compared to this other beast of a project that's been staring me down.

I've been playing this ridiculous game where I convince myself that writing another post IS productive work, while completely ignoring the elephant-sized project in the room. My brain has officially called BS on this strategy. Now every time I sit down to write, there's this nagging voice going, "Cool story, but what about THE THING?"

So I'm pulling the plug. Not forever, just long enough to stop using this newsletter as my very sophisticated form of procrastination. I need to roll up my sleeves and wrestle with the project that actually scares me, and It SCARES me a lot.

When the dust settles (and trust me, there will be dust), I'll be back with tales of either glorious victory or spectacular failure. Either way, it's going to be one hell of a story.

Thank you for reading, for caring, and for not judging my organised chaos too harshly.

Stay wonderfully weird, keep creating your own beautiful mayhem, and I'll see you on the other side of whatever this next adventure brings.

With love and just enough reckless optimism to be dangerous,

-Anjoona


Also, look at that picture at the start of this post. It's the Swiss Alps: one of my absolute dream destinations. But so, so expensive. Take note: I'm going to attempt to travel there one day and it WILL be successful, inshallah!
