Veidehi's Post

I’ve been throwing things away lately. 👉🏻 Half-finished notes. A cardigan that still smelled like someone else’s apartment when it rained. Names I used to answer to online without thinking. Deleted my Instagram journalist handle. I’m also taking krazybutterfly.com offline next week. My fingers will probably keep typing the URL for a while anyway. 👉🏻 There’s a coffee mug in my kitchen with a tiny crack near the handle, and I still reach for it first without thinking. My Speedy 35 has crossed more borders with me than some friendships survived. I think I kept carrying it because leaving it behind felt too much like leaving them behind too. But lately, monograms have started feeling like another language I no longer want to speak fluently. Quiet luxury feels closer to honesty now. 👉🏻 My first iPad still turns on if I charge it long enough. I wish less things did. Nobody tells you that grief is mostly administrative. Pretending not to notice how quiet your phone gets after midnight. Lately, I keep thinking about how exhausted I am by people who speak like branding campaigns. Everyone sounds optimised. 👉🏻 Maybe that’s part of why journalism scares me in a way blogging never did. There’s no algorithm handing out reassurance for saying things prettily. No reward for sounding polished if the truth underneath is hollow. Just you, your conscience, and whatever happens after it is published. 2026 feels less like a new chapter and more like standing in the doorway of a house after the fire’s already been put out. At this point, my conscience is the only thing I still want to be able to recognise. I’d rather lose people than lose whatever part of me still flinches when something feels wrong.
