Hey lovely readers, welcome to my little corner of the internet!
It’s Joleshya here — but people call me by many names — my friends say Jolly, loved ones go with Jols, and colleagues… somehow ended up calling me Jo or Joy. (Honestly, at this point, I respond to anything that starts with a J.)
My day starts with a strong coffee in a fancy cup.
Keyword: fancy.
I have this borderline concerning collection of mugs — florals, hearts, ombres, metallic, vintage, random ones from flea markets — because I get bored of drinking from the same cup. Like… how do people not?
Actually, I get bored of most things pretty fast. Clothes, playlists, phone cases, the entire aesthetic of my room — it’s a full-time personality crisis. So yeah, my online shopping cart is always working overtime, because new things are just my favorite thing ever.
Anyway, I’m that person who makes a bucket list every month and adds something dramatic like “learn surfing” even though I can barely swim. But we’re dreamers here — hopelessly, romantically, delusionally dreamers.
In my head, I already own a cozy little house in Ranikhet — with a big orchard full of flowers and trees (you can imagine the view, right?), and a dog that matches my emotional chaos. I’ll sit there every morning with my coffee (in a new mug) and write about how tomatoes are technically fruits, but I’m still not convinced they belong in fruit salad. Same energy as me being technically an adult, but not exactly functioning like one.
I just do what my heart says — even when it’s random. Plan a spontaneous trip to Uttarakhand just for the weekend? Sure. Cut my bangs at midnight? Been there. I think my life’s tagline should be: “Impulse, but make it look intentional.”
If you’ve read this far — congrats, you’ve basically met the real me: messy, giggly, overthinking 80% of my texts, and surviving on caffeine and delusion. This blog? It’s not going to be deep or structured or motivational. It’s just going to be… me. Talking about things I love, hate, overanalyze, and sometimes dream about at 2am when I should be asleep. If you’re also trying to romanticize your mildly chaotic life — our brain software’s clearly from the same version, bestie.
— Jols (or Jolly, or Jo… whatever feels right today)❤️
