LIFE
Maybe I’m Finally Starting
I’m 35.
Which feels like an age where I should probably have things figured out.
I don’t.
And honestly, I’m beginning to think nobody does.
I have spent a lot of my life doing things, thinking things, overthinking things, changing my mind, learning, unlearning, meeting people, losing people, laughing at things I probably shouldn’t, and occasionally wondering, “How did I even get here?”
And somewhere along the way, I started collecting thoughts.
Random thoughts. Serious thoughts. Completely unnecessary thoughts. Things I notice about people. Things I find fascinating. Things that make me laugh. Things I don’t understand. Things I understand only after making the same mistake three times.
I’ve always had something to say.
I just never really gave those thoughts a place to go.
So maybe this is it.

I’m not starting this blog because I have figured life out.
Quite the opposite.
I’m starting because at 35, I’m finally comfortable enough to admit that I haven’t — and maybe that’s actually okay.
So this will probably be a little bit of everything.
Some stories. Some observations. Some things I’ve learnt. Some things I’m still trying to understand. Maybe some food. Maybe some work. Maybe some completely random rabbit hole I fell into at 11:47 at night.
Basically, if it makes me think, laugh, wonder, question, or feel something… it might end up here.
I don’t know where this will go.
But I’ve reached an age where I’ve stopped needing to know the destination before taking the first step.
So…
Hello, internet.
I’m Khyathi.
I’m 35.
And I think I’m finally ready to start writing.
