Reva Within
Hiii future best friends,
I’m Reva, 22 year old human.
I’m 5’4, with almost black hair (that turns a warm dark brown in the sunlight). I like my eyes — they are dark brown too, and if stared deeply — a sandy, desert city might just appear in them.
In the fading silence, I hear the weight of every word the tongue dares to form. I absorb the noise of the world, yet I hold back my own whispers — protecting a mind still learning to breathe. I hear the questions tossed my way of which I know the answers to, but my tongue falls silent. And I lose another round. Not in the eyes of those watching, but in a quiet ceremony inside me — where I place the medal of failure upon myself and retreat into a closed box no one else sees.
I try speaking, but my words drop before reaching the ears that were meant to hear them. And on the rare days they make it through, they still don’t land on the heart. They hover, untouched , like a lone kid left out in some noisy classroom.
Within us, there’s a flood of words — soft, heavy, aching to be heard and felt. But when our loudest words go unheard, we begin to lose faith even in our quietest whispers.
So here, with me, let’s start with the whispers. Let’s teach each other to build faith in our whispers. Together let’s slowly build back the faith we lost — in our own voices. Every time we write, read, or just sit with a feeling… we move closer to telling each other the stories we’ve been holding in. You and me, together we create a space, made for someone like us. We are just ordinary people, but the kind who carry extraordinary softness, lessons and a quiet purpose to exist in this spinning universe.
This space — everything you’ll read here is raw. RevaWithin.
A place where showing what’s inside doesn’t feel like weakness, but something soft, strong, and full of love. This is me — Reva — still young, still learning, trying to thrive in this one precious life.

I’ll share my journey through each passing day —
- As a CA( Chartered Accountant ) student, trying again.
- As someone quietly holding a big dream of becoming a fashion designer.
- Learning from life and people around her.
- Figuring out relationships with friends, family and myself.
- And as someone who’s constantly surprised by how much growing up changes everything.
This is where I leave pieces of myself, hoping you find a piece of you in them too.
I don’t have it all figured out, but I’m here — learning, feeling and writing through it.
Welcome.
