hi, i’m priyam

I check the sky more often than I check my phone. I watch clouds during the day and stars at night, and I’ve never gotten tired of either. There’s something calming about looking up and realizing there’s a whole lot going on beyond my own little world. It puts things into perspective and makes most of my problems feel a little smaller.

I grew up in India and eventually moved halfway across the world. I’ve spent a good part of my life figuring things out as I go. Starting over somewhere unfamiliar teaches you that you rarely have the whole picture before you begin. You find your footing, discover places you like, and slowly build a life somewhere that once felt completely new.

I’m curious about just about everything, which can be both a good thing and a terrible way to spend an afternoon. I like understanding how things work, solving problems, and learning something I didn’t know the day before. I love reading, even if I haven’t been reading as much lately, and I have a soft spot for Pokémon and cozy RPGs. These days I’m getting into harder games, too, and apparently I don’t mind losing an hour trying to get past one difficult bit.

I take my ambitions seriously, but I don’t want life to feel like one long checklist. There are places I want to see, things I want to learn, and ideas I’d love to bring to life. I want to do things I’m proud of and build a future I’m excited about without forgetting to enjoy the present.

I’m still figuring plenty of things out, and I imagine I will be for a while. Most days, I try to put my energy into what I can control and let the rest blow over. There’s a lot I want out of life, and plenty I haven’t experienced yet, but I don’t need everything to fall into place to enjoy where I am right now.

So if you ever see someone lying in an open field and looking up at the sky, it’s probably me. And if you wave, there’s a good chance I’ll wave back before going right back to looking up :)
