About

Hello! I’m Priya and I live in San Francisco. I have been thinking about a blog for awhile and decided that a pandemic seems like the perfect time to get started. I know there are a LOT of blogs out there so I’m not sure anyone will read this and that’s ok. I’ve been keeping a journal for many years and thought a blog would be a way to put some of my musings out into the world.

My inspiration to start a blog came from the FIRE (Financial Independence, Retire Early) world. I have learned so much from reading what others have to say and it’s amazing how much community and connection can come from blogs. When I first heard about the concept of FIRE, I didn’t really latch on initially because I love my job and don’t necessarily want to retire early. But as I read more, the principles of financial independence and living with intention really resonated for me. At the end of the day, it’s about happiness. Some of my favorite FIRE blogs talk about happiness explicitly. But I think virtually everyone that is pursuing FIRE is also looking for more happiness. We all are.  Over the years, I have stumbled into a lot of things that have drastically increased my baseline happiness. I’m not sure if what I have to say will be helpful to anyone else but it’s worth a shot.  I would love to hear your thoughts so please leave comments!
