Hi!
My name is Aarushi and I don’t know why I started writing. What I do know is how grateful I am to those who take time out of their day to read my words. And right now, that’s you—so, thank you.
What is Leaving Behind Gray?
Leaving Behind Gray is a large culmination of things: ripped pages from my diary, messy thoughts put into words, lessons I’ve learned, poetry and music recommendations, and more.
Gray: always lost somewhere in the middle, never complete but never empty, more of a passerby than a personality. I don’t want to be gray, but I have always felt that I am. When asked who I was beneath my accomplishments, I wanted to have a good answer; All I could think about, however, was gray. The last few months, I’ve been making greater efforts to feel less like that, and to move on, to drown in color. To say the least, it’s hard.
Many things make me feel less gray: cooking, listening to music, taking care of myself. Writing makes me feel less gray. Through this newsletter, I wish to use my words to slowly, but surely, finally leave behind gray and move onto something a bit more vivid.
About Me
My name is Aarushi, I am 18 years old, and I think I am not so much of a person as I am a copycat of every person around me. I enjoy being in the kitchen, listening to music, loving, learning, and living. Based in Maryland and Los Angeles. For music and movies, follow me on Spotify and Letterboxd.
