Life of Daivanshi

If I got a dollar for every time I restarted writing blogs, I’d probably been at least rich by now. Now that I have new identity tags to myself, a quick introduction or an update from where I left off the last time would be needed. Hello! I am Daivanshi – by profession, the founder of Nuvé Studio, by degree – an MSc in Applied Positive Psychology, and otherwise I am just another person enjoying (not really) the rollercoaster of life.

You might be wondering why I have picked up this again. I have always looked into various ways to express what is happening inside me. In fact, as I have heard so, I picked up the skill of using speech quite later than normally expected. I guess I was training myself to use whatever medium I could find to let my parents know what I wanted (most of that being crying). I remember the days when I used to come back home from school, put on the music channel on TV, wore the prettiest outfit I could find, and copy the dance steps from whatever song was playing. As I grew up, getting more fluent in writing and talking, I saw the ways words flew for me when I had to narrate something. It was not easy to talk but give me a pen and paper, and I could write (I wish I wrote so much in exams). Language and dance became a part of me. No matter where life’s waves took me, these were always there with me.

Since I started working at the studio and realised that I officially entered the adulthood, I lost touch with creating content for myself and doing things because I find peace in it. Somehow every decision I took became with the intention of running the studio. Passion turned into events from where I pressured myself to earn from. The past few days have been a reminder to get in touch with self again. The work started becoming mundane, the idea of constantly coming up with events became a pressured idea. I could take the studio ahead in the way I had imagined. You know it felt as if I had the keys to the door in front of me but the lock was broken from inside. The only way was to try the keys very slowly. But how could I slow down to re-unlock the door if I still had to be at work everyday even when I had to give time to myself. I got the signals that instead of taking myself away from work. All I had to do was to find what was there inside of me waiting to be let out onto a piece of paper.

Of course, dance is also something that I still look forward to. I know that I will take my sweet little time to get that flow into me. This cannot happen with any pressure or force. All I can do is wait for it slowly let out. I miss dancing though. When I scroll through my videos of the past or when I create a routine in my head while listening to a song, I know it is still there with me. With the intention of letting my flow of creativity become a part of me again, I came across the ideas of writing again – this time not with the angle of having some kind of teaching or lessons in it. I wanted to write because I wanted to create a space to put in my ideas and thoughts on how I navigate through the daily life as a 22 year old person – not a student, not a founder; just a person. Writing here without an identity tag attached is a try to make this place to be my safe space, and maybe for you as well.
