After living (read-> writing) on rent for the last three months in someone else's home (read -> blogging platforms) where I could be kicked out (read-> account blocked, suspended) for any reason without any notice period, I thought it's wise to invest in my own home with my hard-earned money.

I first started pouring out my heart's musings in front of readers on Medium, a subscription-based blogging platform. This was my first post:

Then I made an account on Scrollstack, an Indian alternative. This was my second post on Scrollstack:

Then, I started my weekly newsletter "Know Yourself Better" on Substack, an email newsletter publishing platform. This was my first weekly newsletter:

After testing the waters for three months on different platforms, I became sure of myself that this writing mania is not fleeting or transient, I have really caught the bug and I am not afraid to speak my mind and express my heart anymore (even if it offends someone, though it is not intentional). Moreover, the hesitation to showcase my labor of creativity or art is gone now.

So, I finally decided after much dilly-dallying to buy a new home for my thoughts, feelings, and emotions. For this, I first registered my home (buying the domain loveunites.in), and then I purchased the land to build my home on (purchased subscription of Ghost platform to host my domain).

Today is the 3rd of August, 2021, and I have purchased a one-year subscription to this platform; so I am giving myself one year to write my heart out and on 2nd August, 2022, I will assess if my words are able to help, inspire, touch a soul in a positive way or kindle a spark of joy in someone's life then I will term my 1-year stint as successful and fulfilling, and hence will continue further.
