Hey there reader, welcome to my Gemini capsule. I am new around here.

But why? Why am I here?

The reason being that I was really affected with the toxic creator culture in the big web. Before, I used to be a youtuber- streaming daily study-with-me videos, a blogger- having written stuff in both my own Eleventy blog and Substack. But it soon turned into /theatrics/. I started performing and optimising for views and algorithms. Instead of doing actual studying, I started "looking" like one who studied, or when it came to writing, I just never posting something that was raw, in fear of not being "perfect" enough. I wasted too of those many hours trying to perfect a video, a blog or an essay and didn't pay too much attention to just /write/, /create/, or /study/.

That is what I hope to achieve in the geminispace- being able to create without wanting to perform, without the need to attach my name or revealing my identify. I guess I am just trying to be anonymous for now. This space is just for me and just for the people who might wander into and find shelter, if they choose to.

Just in case you want the long version:
