Who Am I ?

-

 If you’ve ever had that moment where you’ve thought to yourself, “Who am I?” Is this what I like or dislike or is it what I’ve been taught or I think I like. Trust me, we’ve all been there. Although, there isn't a clear cut definition to this, sometimes writing can help you reveal things to you, abut you that you never knew


If you’re interested to know more about who I am, Read on.





Hey, I am Tanvi Gawali, I am 19 years old. I love to read and write. I read because in all this chaos, I find my solace in someone else’s words. I write because my thoughts pour themselves better on paper. I like to listen to 90s Music- I enjoy Hindi Classical Music and Gulzar’s Poetry

And more often than not, I turn to books and admire their writing by reading their lines over and over.


On my bad days, I find comfort in words, sometimes my own, often other’s in music, poetry, stories and conversations. I often try to find the meaning of life in the movies I watch.


I cry when I’m angry and feel hopeless and drink coffee with the same enthusiasm as the first time I had tasted it. I fear- fear because I wholeheartedly believe ki “Zindagi Lambi nahi Badi Honi Chahiye” - to love life and live without fear.





I like wearing Red lipstick because it makes me feel bold. I randomly quote writers in daily conversations. People say I look like I am 13 and talk like I'm 30. I overthink. I think mostly about Purpose, love & Loss and everything in between.


I believe in the higher force because to have faith means to believe in something. I dream, It reminds me of the endless possibilities, I have trouble staying in the present moment. I’m working on it.


I like to observe people. People say a lot without saying anything at all. I’ve tried to define my likes and dislikes, categorize myself as a type but, I think the point is the exact opposite. 

To define is to limit oneself.


I feel that throughout life you keep discovering new things about yourself. At the end of the day, we human beings are just like our thoughts- limitless, unpredictable and living( Inside our heads).

Things Nooone Tells You About Grief

For a while now, I've been trying to look for comfort in words. When I experienced loss, the kind of loss that shook my body away (literally) mentally and physically, I took my time to heal and more usually than not, I gravitated towards reading. Reading about someone facing familiar emotions and feelings kept me sane. I hope that this post helps you find comfort if you've ever experienced loss or are still trying to mend your heart.   There's a scar on my left leg and it has been that way for a while, something which I had developed recently due to let's say, carelessness. Everyday I took my time examining it, I realized  it changed colors but never turned better. I eventually stopped caring. But my loved one(who I lost, recently) made it a point to ask me how bad the scar was, everyday. After a while, when I started caring again, I looked over the scar, it got better.  I think grief is a lot like that,  it changes colors, takes it's time to heal  but even...

A little bit of today |A little bit of tomorrow Epiphanies and Reflections I've been trying to write for a while now, but I just couldn't.  I recently read something on Tumblr that helped me kick start writing. I'll link it here- Read this here It's been one month today. One month that I've lost another significant part of my life in a span of one year. It's almost funny how time flies by. The other day, I told my mum "The best and worst thing about life is that, it moves on."  It feels like life is on autopilot, whether we choose it or not.   Do we really move on or do we distract ourselves to maintain our sanity? A few months back, when I was redoing my room, I bought the glow in the dark stickers for the ceiling. It just reminded me of my childhood days and I'd have my own sky to stare at, at night.  I don't remember the last time I looked up at my ceiling and admired them.  I either read like there's no tomorrow or I don't read at a...

  One thing I absolutely love and spend most of my free time doing is finding new things- Art, Books, Music, Shows, Movies, Poems and I can go on and on and on. Most things I find are usually through Pinterest, YouTube Comments, Following a few YouTube Channels, Reading an Author’s Favorite or about his inspiration (Always a great way to find great art) . Here are a few things I’ve discovered this month so far- Music: Let’s start with something easy. I don’t really have a specific genre of music that I like but I think it could be broadly classified as Retro Chill or Vintage Vibe. This month I’ve Come across something a little different.  Halsey’s - “I'm not a Woman, I’m a god Halsey’s- “Girl is a Gun Cage the Elephant’s -”Cigarette Daydream” Lord Huron’s - “Long Lost” Honestly, I love the Lyrics of Halsey’s new songs, Makes me feel confident and powerful but Cigarette Daydream and Long lost have been playing on loop. Lord Huron’s have a sense of Calm and a weird sense of f...
