A recent flutter of notifications from WordPress (informing me that people are still reading what I wrote years ago) reminded me that I had (or have? Is this perpetual?) a blog. Once a pride point in my life, this space has been dormant for a while now. It is not that I haven’t wanted to write but I didn’t have any stories left in me to tell. For a while last year, I was wholly consumed by grief that made me lock myself away from everyone and everything I loved. But 2025 has been a year of healing. I have spent the last 6-7 months breaking out of the shackles of depression and finding myself again. So here is a short life update –
- I got a new job a few months back. It has kept me pretty busy. If you know anything about consulting, you’ll know how crazy the work hours are. I am working on an amazing project with some brilliant people and learning a lot every single day. But I am also struggling with fitting back into the corporate world. If you’re new to my blog – I was a corporate girly who quit her job to try my hand at running a business, which didn’t end up working out. The transition back has been hard and most days I am reminded of why I left this world in the first place. People are cutthroat, competitive and it is a little bit of a toxic space. I will write more about it (hopefully) in future posts (please pray that there are future posts). As a softy whose life goal is to be kinder and more empathetic, I generally feel out of place.
- I found a therapist I like. I have been in and out of therapy over the past few years and now I have finally found a therapist whom I look forward to talking to. While my issues are far from resolved (will they even get resolved in this lifetime? I don’t know) but I feel like I have found a safe space to open up about all the craziness that goes on in my head.
- I made new friends at my workplace. I mean we are not besties but making friends in your 30s is so difficult – so I am glad I have met people that I feel comfortable being myself around. I know it is not a significant update but it’s a win for me.
- I restarted on my health journey. I have been working out for an hour every single day despite my crazy 12-hour work days. While the progress on getting healthier has been slow, I am still incredibly proud of myself for sticking with it.
Those were some of the more significant updates from the year so far. If you have stuck around over the years – welcome back, friend. If you are new, I am a 30-something woman living in India and trying to figure out my life in my 30s. If you relate, follow along on my journey. I often feel like I am behind in this journey of life, but here’s to making the best of whatever time is left (ya, I know I am not 100 years old).
How have you been? Have there been any significant updates in your life? Let me know in the comments! ❤

Welcome back! The road to improving one’s mental health is a difficult one. I’m happy to hear that you have found a therapist that you enjoy working with. Bravo!
For me personally, I’ve recently completed a certificate to be an art therapy practitioner. I had been doing art therapy for years with my art students and the training showed me that everything I was doing was exactly what I needed to do, plus I learned a few more techniques. Art therapy sessions aren’t about creating pretty pictures, rather it’s using mark-making, symbols, colors, images to allow the subconscious to show what lies beneath the surface and then the therapist works with the client to help find their own solutions.
I used art therapy on myself when I was working through my own healing, and it helped me pull out a lot of gunk from inside my spirit plus helped me to visually see my patterns so that I could then slowly work on my solutions.
I highly recommend trying this out for yourself!
Blessings!

Good to see you around. I haven’t been as active in my blogging, but I’m still here. Making friends, whether it be at work, in social situations, or somewhere else, is one of the most essential ingredients of happiness. Thanks for the update.
Our son and his wife just bought their first house, and our grandson just turned 16 months old yesterday. I’m experiencing a lot more aches and pains, but otherwise, I’m generally happy.
