Hello from Mysore one last time!

I came here to slow down.
To stay put. To create some kind of rhythm.
In my head, I had planned to be here for 6 months, at least.

But clearly, life has other plans.

Like the universe heard "nomad life" and said, "Challenge accepted."
Now it's like

​
I’m heading back home to Rajasthan for some family functions.
I thought I’d return to Mysore after that. But now… I’m not sure.

I was looking for a house to rent long-term. But turns out, yoga season starts in July and international students start pouring in so short-term rentals become more profitable for owners.
​
Even my current landlord said no. He’s renting out the whole house for 32k now, but from July, he’ll rent out each room separately for 27k per room 😳

So now I’m back at the drawing board, figuring out where to go next.
​The decision-making. Never. Stops.

Life rarely goes according to plan and that’s not always a bad thing.

You don’t have to be a nomad to relate to this.
​

Plans fall through. People say no. Circumstances change. You think you’ve found your rhythm and then, something throws it off.

Suddenly, you’re back to making decisions again.
​
Where do I go? What do I do? How do I feel okay with this new unknown?

I'm starting to believe that most of adulthood is just adjusting expectations without losing your spark :)

And that when life doesn’t go as planned, it doesn’t mean you messed up. It just means you’re being asked to flow instead of force.
​
But one thing this lifestyle is teaching me is:
​
​Stability doesn’t always come from staying in one place. Sometimes, it comes from how you hold yourself in the chaos.

---

So here’s what I remind myself (and maybe you need to hear it too):

1. Not all pivots are setbacks.​
   Sometimes, being denied something just means you’re being redirected. (Ugh, I know. But it’s true.)
   ​
2. Clarity doesn’t come from thinking, it comes from moving.​
   Even if you don’t know exactly what’s next, choose something. Move toward it. The next step will show up.
   ​
3. Give your brain a break from big questions.​
   Not every decision needs to be made today.
   If you don’t know the answer, stop thinking. Go for a walk. Watch something silly. Sleep on it.
   ​
4. Structure is self-care.​
   Having some rhythm in your day like a morning walk or a weekly journal ritual, makes the chaos easier to hold.
   I write in my journal first thing every morning and whenever I feel overwhelmed. Helps me immensely.
   ​

I don’t know where I’m going next. But I do know this - I'll figure it out. I always do.

And if you're in a space of uncertainty too, I hope you remind yourself of the same.

We don’t need to have it all figured out. We just need to keep moving - one soft, imperfect decision at a time.

That’s all for now.

See you next Wednesday <3

Love,
K
