Who Am I?
Well, my first draft for this had my name, where I am from, what I do for work, my hobbies - yada yada.
Then a friend who proofread this asked me, "Who are you?” The ME beyond the places I’ve lived or the jobs I’ve had or the interests I’ve picked up over the years (Gotta love friends who push you to think). I thought “Ahhhhhh crap!!”.
Well, at the risk of making this all philosophical, but doing it anyway.
Who am I? That is a question I ask myself pretty much everyday. Although, I do not have a definitive answer to it just yet, I am someone who is out here discovering new, cool things about myself with each passing day and I am ABSOLUTELY in awe of it.
For now, the best answer to this question is this…..
I’m Suu Kenkare
Why Am I Here?
The year is 2026. I just turned 29. I am all cozy on my couch, eating Thai takeout and rewatching a feel-good movie - a little yearly birthday ritual, if you will.
This year’s movie pick is ‘The Secret Life of Walter Mitty’ - a movie I have watched a few times already.
“To see the world, things dangerous to come to, to see behind the walls, draw closer, to find each other, and to feel. That is the purpose of Life”
I am told, again and again. Only, this year the quote hits different. Maybe it’s the thought of fast-approaching Big Three-O! A desire is born to get back in touch with my creative side. To pick a hobby that allows me to create and not just consume. So here I am.
In my current season - I quit social media, I am exploring minimalism, slow living, spirituality, philosophy…. you get the theme. I am here to document my learnings, meditations, experiences and hopefully get better at writing along the way.
As the season changes, who knows what else will intrigue me? maybe I will get a pixie cut and color my hair blue? or walk home with a full-sleeved tattoo (kidding, Mom!). Only time will tell. Stick around to find out :)
Cheers! ; )
