#1 Introduction to microdosing.comfort 🧠

I guess I'm really doing this.

I’ve been existing online, chronically, for as long as I can remember and that fact, comes with a lot. On most days, most words that come out of my mouth are sheer attempts to justify my endless doomscrolling, but if I’m being entirely honest, I love living online. The internet, ever since its inception in my life has given me way more than just exposure. It has acted as a medium, a tool for me to self reflect and understand myself better. It has enabled me to live multiple lives all from the comfort of my blanket. I can be a pastel stationary geek and a part-time vocalist and a crypto girl and a skin care enthusiast, all at once, and still not be reduced to these facets because I also happen to exist on eight different platforms with eighteen different traits, all of them true to me. The internet has teased me relentlessly, with the idea and possibility that I can just simply, create for a living. It doesn’t matter, what I create. This to me is a beautiful, beautiful concept. 

In the last three years, the landscape of new media and it’s reel-ification has changed how we consume and perceive everything online. Today, being a creator comes with so much pressure. Especially on visual platforms, because you can only ask your friends to hold off on eating their meals, as you get the perfect shot for your 8 slide photo dump, for so long. As for me,  I’ve always had a habit of documenting my life, its happenings, both the dramatic and the mundane. The one thing that’s important to me, however,  is to be able to do it in a media format that resonates with me, that comes most authentically to me. The written word has always been my friend. And whilst I want to art direct my life visually someday, until then, I shall art direct my thoughts. With microdosing.comfort, I want to write about my tastes and consumption, how I navigate the world wide web and hopefully create a community of people who like to do the same. People who love organised information, people who want to be ✨ mindful and intentional ✨ about what they consume online.

What can you expect here? 

• My journey as a 22 year old, non-tech girl working in web3 and consumer tech 

• CURATION. Lots and lots of it. Lists, detailed repositories containing my favourite reads, music, art, tweets, creators, online tools, newer tech, startups, food, cafes, pop culture moments

• Life and mental health, notes from therapy 

I do not think my thoughts have a “niche” so far, but the day I find one I promise to excruciatingly, annoyingly, and dedicatedly revolve my whole personality around it. Till then, this generic girl is what you get. 

random fact about me: 

- I am 5 feet tall and have 3.5 tattoos. 

If you feel excited about even a single something that you’ve read so far, I hope you stick around. It has taken me a couple of years, many broken deadlines, and a vision board manifestation ritual to finally start this. So I guess this is my newsletter version of like, share and subscribe to my channel, something about bells and icons, and I hope to microdose some comfort in your inbox soon.
