Hey everyone,

One of the main reasons I began to write is because I would read pieces of writing that would evoke an abundance of emotions in me that I related to or felt comforted by, and I wanted to create something that would give rise to similar emotions in other people. A specific recollection of such a moment is when I read a short piece called “The Opposite of Loneliness” by Marina Keegan and felt extremely comfortable during a rough time. I was curious to hear about other people’s experiences reading specific works that became special to them, and if possible what made them special.

Best,

Agastya Ahluwalia
