There is something strange about starting over.

You leave behind the place you've known for years, pack your things into bags, and suddenly find yourself somewhere completely new.

New streets. New buildings. New faces. People who don't know anything about you yet.

I recently started college in Bangalore, and the whole experience still feels a little unreal.

There was excitement, obviously. But there was also nervousness. The kind where you don't really know what to expect, so your brain decides to imagine everything at once.

Maybe you don't really begin a new chapter when everything is figured out. Maybe you begin when you decide to show up anyway.

I don't know exactly what these next few years are going to look like.

I don't know what I'll learn, who I'll meet, what I'll build, or how much I'll change.

But I think that's what makes it interesting.

For now, I'm just going to try to pay attention.
