If you learn to motivate yourself to live another day, you are already independent.
Hello, Hive! My name is Anaya Chowdhury (you can find me here as @Anaya10), and I am looking forward to introducing myself to this incredible community. To be completely frank, I am not entirely familiar with how this blockchain works just yet, but I am eager to learn with the help of the wonderful, experienced bloggers here.
It is both a privilege and a pleasure to step into this space. Some years ago, I took my very first tentative steps onto this platform, eager to share my voice. However, life often demands our presence elsewhere. For a long, challenging stretch, I found myself completely engrossed in the ceaseless demands of household responsibilities while navigating severe financial hardships. It took a heavy toll on my life, and it was difficult to make time out for myself.
I will be honest, I have deeply resented how life has challenged me in my early twenties. Yet, adversity breeds a quiet, unyielding strength. As a fresh literature graduate who will be stepping into her master’s degree soon, I am no longer content to simply endure my circumstances. So, here I am, fiercely eager to change them. I am entirely willing to go the distance to build the life I deserve. Currently, I am channeling this drive into planning my own business, drafting budgets and laying the groundwork. Alongside this, I help my aunt manage her clothing store; it is a fast-paced, high-energy job, but I genuinely enjoy communicating with the customers. While I am not a naturally talkative lady, I deeply love socializing with open-minded folks.
Today, I return to this platform not with hesitation but with a bold resolve. I invite you all to stand with me as I turn this into a fruitful and defining chapter.
About Myself & My Interests
If I had to define myself by my attributes, I am an artist of many mediums; a painter, a cook, a passionate movie reviewer, a sports enthusiast, and a makeup artist. For me, creativity is the lens through which I reclaim my independence.
Ever since I was a little girl, I would wander up to the terrace to find a beautiful, quiet spot to play with colors. Through those colors, I always aimed to paint life, and in that process, I eventually developed a habit of making things look perfect. Those around me are proud of this trait and often ask me to cast my magic spell. Interestingly, among this crowd, I have one close friend who is the total opposite of "perfect" and isn't much of a fan of perfectionism at all! Ironically, she is the exact reason I am here on Hive today, and I owe a huge thank you to @zaku bhaiya for helping me seamlessly set up this account back in 2022.
My passions manifest in unique ways:
Photography & Traveling: While I have never quite found my voice in written poetry, I find a deep, wordless poetry in photography. A single frame has the power to make me dreamy, carrying my spirit away to the wild. I take my camera wherever I travel to ensure I never miss a moment.
The Art of Makeup: Beyond the lens, I am drawn to style, trends, and cosmetics. To me, a makeover is a magical realm and a powerful form of transformation. It is much like wielding a paintbrush, but choosing one's own face as the canvas to project inner strength, beauty, and identity.
Food & Film: I am a true foodie who loves exploring complex flavors in the kitchen, just as I love diving into compelling cinematic stories as an avid movie reviewer. I mostly enjoy Bollywood movies or Kolkatta Bangla movies.
My Contribution to Hive
On this platform, I intend to share the absolute best of my expertise, spanning colors, flavors, literature, and photographs. You can also expect to see me posting about my passion for dancing and the quiet beauty of chasing sunsets, alongside practical tips and personal experiences I have gathered along my journey of life.
You can expect me to be an active, reliable, and supportive member of this community. A platform filled with diverse, skilled minds is exactly where I want to establish my grounds. I look forward to your honest reviews, your insights, and your camaraderie. I possess deep faith in the power of shared creativity, and I hope my work, born from both passion and perseverance, might inspire some of you in return.
Thank you all for your time. Have a beautiful day ahead!
