đź‘‹ Hello There ,

Name is Manasa

I’ve always been someone who dreams big but struggles to see the path ahead. For the longest time, I believed that if I couldn’t see a clear way forward, I couldn’t move at all. It left me discouraged, especially when it came to pursuing creative ambitions.

What I failed to realize was that I was just as lost when it came to other aspects of my life. For example, when it came to choosing a career I was headstrong on what I wanted to study but I didn’t know what career path could bring me satisfaction. Yet surprisingly, I never gave up on the vision. Somewhere I found the courage to push through the confusion and the setbacks. I didn’t take “I don’t know how” as an excuse— I just kept trying.

In retrospect I see how valuable that realization is. If I had the strength to navigate the unknown in the past then what is stopping me from applying that same strength to other endeavors? Perhaps it is a variation of insecurity that I do not yet know how to formulate into words. 

But that’s why I’ve created this space: to challenge that mindset. It’s where I remind myself (and maybe others too) that uncertainty isn’t a barrier that should be feared. It’s part of the process that has a strange way of molding you into the person you are today.

Whether I’m crocheting, coding or trying something entirely new, I’m learning to embrace the same determination that gets me through life and apply it to the passions that fulfill me.

This is my journey of turning “I wish I could” into “I’m doing it,” one step at a time. A space that serves as a reminder that the only way forward is to begin, even if you don't know where it will lead.
