A Germinating Writer
Because writing is healing...
It’s time now!
I have dreamt of this for many years. Writing for a living, writing for a hobby, writing to help, writing to grow, writing and sharing… but never ended up doing it. Why? because I thought I wasn’t good enough. I needed to write better, be more creative and write more in my daily life and Instagram then only I will be good enough to get here. But what happened? Instagram decided posts don’t do well and created reels. I followed the trend and wrote even lesser than I used to!
You know when you dream of something and you visualize yourself being there, the realization now that you’re going even further away in the path of your dream is a wake-up call. My realization happened after I just posted my wedding photographs on Instagram and had nothing much to write with it. That is when I decided this needs to happen! Here, and now!
Of course, the challenge is going to be consistency. That’s why I am creating a bi-monthly newsletter. Twice a month, you will receive this long e-mail from me of my ramblings, learnings, frustrations, new experiences, or just daily life and how I navigate through it with all my understanding of this world of looking at a lot of things through the lens of feminism.
I promise to be the most human self with my personal stories, anecdotes, experiences and feelings. I hope that you find a connection with yourselves and your thought processes in these sharings.
I welcome conversations, comments and your experiences to be shared as long as we can create a non-judgmental space here. When I write it will be about me and my experiences and my viewpoints alone - but I do know that I am not always right and there are different viewpoints to life; so I’m open to learning and look forward to your shares too!
So let’s dive into this world of writing and rambling about daily life activities while looking at them as a space of growth and learning because who is the best teacher than life itself?

Loved how real this email is Masuma! I feel like I could relate to a lot of it! For example - I also always wanted to write too.. a book.. poetry... anything. But I look at my work and always think it's not good enough...
I have so many poems unpublished ... just sitting on my laptop hidden in an obscure folder...
But I look at this short piece of writing - and it's just so real, and so simply and authentically written - it gives out a loud and clear message of one needing to just try - to just take a step - to open up possibilities for oneself. I'm glad you did it! Maybe more of us will get the courage to do the same - whilst learning something new from you :)
