Hey, I’m Arushi!
Hi, and welcome to What You Didn’t See.
This publication has taken many forms already, and it will probably keep changing. Which tells you something about me.
To no one’s surprise but my own, I was recently diagnosed with ADHD and autism. It makes complete sense. It has given me language and validation for a lifetime of quiet struggling, and it has also left me overwhelmed about what to do with it and where to go next.
I believe our inner worlds can make us or break us. Mine has kept me above water for most of my life. So here, through writing and sharing, I want to tend to it like a garden. Water the roots, and pass the harvest on to whoever wants it.
There is no exact shape to this. No set frequency, no structure. Expect rambles, resources that speak to me, and reflections straight out of my journal. All of it with the energy of someone in a coffee shop talking to a friend, which is where I usually am.
My hope is that others like me find their way to this little garden and feel less alone.
