a romantic's rants to remember

08/18/2023

rush of identities

I can't remember feeling little, and I'm in desperate need of a label, a definition beyond my name, the years I've lived or gender. a discussion- with whoever I was in the moment- about the not knowing how to exist without observing the fact that I do. And obsessing over it, my own existence- call it narcissism, call it pathetic, call it sleep deprivation. ▪︎follow me on Instagram @updatedwupasana , @ghostofwillow , cover art by Pragati BS Instagram- @pragatibs_

starting a new life- the discoveries

I left everything I knew, it's not as aesthetic as running off to Europe in your 20s and the beautiful Instagram reels that come along- it's pretty magnificent though, to see myself outside everything I thought defined me, but also quite lonely. Here is my renaissance- summarised. I will talk to you more often now (or not, you never know). ▪︎ follow me on Instagram @updatedwupasana , @ghostofwillow , cover art by Pragati BS Instagram- @pragatibs_

pills, body & food

talking about my recent struggle with none other than this temple that's withering through life, my body. TW: talking about body image issues and disordered eating (in brief), and loads of tears shed (cringe but needed to keep it raw and real) ▪︎follow me on Instagram @updatedwupasana , @upasanaraghu_ , cover art by Pragati BS Instagram- @pragatibs_

poetry, god, exams, playing dress up

talking about midterms, anxiety about my future and career, my poetry, my new found interest in God and religion, and my coping mechanism- playing dress up and taking sexy pictures.

hostel, rehab, music and lust

These days, I feel nothing but like a sylvia plath poem. This episode is me uncovering my rawest thoughts and emotions, and how the past few months have treated me. I talk about mental health, rehab, love and lust. And of course, there are a good set of sex jokes. • drug addiction helplines- https://indianhelpline.com/De-Addiction-Helpline/ • Instagram- @upasanaraghu_ @updatedwupasana
