The 12:29 a.m. 2025 entry has haunted me. It resonated so deeply, thank you. It felt like the personification of that incessant attachment one can never quite shake from their mother, no matter how hard they try. The lines, β€œshe’ll attempt to slice off the devotee clinging to her skin, a parasite sucking out her blood, a tree’s root needing her tears to reach the sun,” especially stayed with me. And then, the way you circled back to ceaseless devotion despite all the damage, absolutely beautiful.

Sakshi this was lethal and every diary entry was something which came out as the flow of consciousness penned down without a pause, absolutely loved the yellow and blue one and the madwoman one🫢🏻

I was thinking how had i been so happy and I realized you did not post for a while🀣

Beautiful. Reminds me of Dept of speculation by Jenny offill.

"My plan was to never get married. I was going to be an art monster instead. Women almost never become art monsters because art monsters only concern themselves with art, never mundane things. Nabokov didn’t even fold his own umbrella. Vera licked his stamps for him."

The time stamps make this feel like fragments of a life stitched together in the dark, and the imagery is relentless in a way that’s hard to look away from. There’s such intensity in how you write about hunger, fire, devotion, and retreat, like every feeling has to take up its full space. The line about promising to return as sunshine carries a fragile kind of hope that lingers after the heaviness. Your voice is unapologetically visceral, and that kind of writing takes courage. I’m curious to see how this evolves as you keep moving through these versions of yourself.
