Thank you for sharing this with us, Maliha! I hope this newsletter becomes a way for you to deal with this period in your life. I'm sure you'll find a supportive network in Karachi, and always remember you have at least one writer friend in Lahore too! Rooting for you

Thank you so much Arsalan for your kindness. This means a lot. I’m really excited for this new chapter in my life and this newsletter!! I can now write about so many things I only thought of writing about but never got around to it. Looking forward to doing that every week :)

As someone who is exploring the possibility/weighing the pros and cons/dipping my toes into the possibility that I may very well have to reinvent + uproot myself - this was a touching read. And I look forward to all your recommendations for coping with the emotional mess that life is :)

Thank you so much Meena. I’m the one who is touched by your comment. :) I wish you ease and grace in the process of reinvention and uprooting - sometimes a necessary choice we have to make. And I hope my words can provide some comfort during that time. <3
