Hello and welcome to my very first blog post! I’ve been wanting to start this page for as long as I can remember, but it still brings butterflies to think I’m finally putting my work out for the public. My name is Tamanna, and I’m so excited to have you here!
I’m a rising college senior studying economics and marketing; but outside my standard job description, you can find me pursuing a number of creative interests. As mentioned all throughout the site, this page is my way of tapping into the things I’m really passionate about. I believe strongly that every person has their own version of a passion project, and that even taking time to explore the different things that bring you excitement is a valuable quest on its own. Your life doesn’t have to revolve around your hobbies, but without them how would we make life interesting?
Elizabeth Gilbert said it best in her book Big Magic, “Pure creativity is magnificent expressly because it is the opposite of everything else in life that’s essential or inescapable (food, shelter medicine, taxes, etc.). Pure creativity is something better than a necessity; it’s a gift…All it does is make me want to play.” So while we don’t need art or music or truly anything fun to survive, it’s these things that spark a different energy within us, that give us the power to find excitement in a seemingly mundane world.
Okay didn’t mean to get too deep on you there, I’m really just here to have some fun and create a space to play. Creating brings me joy and excitement, and sharing gives me a greater sense of purpose. So what will you find here?? A shared space to learn, create, and inspire each other. This includes: art pieces, journal spreads, DIYs, book reviews, podcast suggestions, recipes, sustainable fashion finds, favorite outfits, product recommendations, goal setting, travel guides, and but is not limited to just these things. I want to speak about causes I’m passionate about, and connect with others to learn what drives them.
Hopefully I can share with you something I’ve learned, found, created; or honestly just share a good conversation together. If we can even do a little bit of what we love everyday, I believe that’s what it means to be living your passion project. Thank you so much for being here, I’m so excited to begin this project with you!
<3 always,
Tamanna
