What is Bubblegum's Factory? 💌
a mundane weekly newsletter served with a slice of life 🍉
life is moving too fast to make sense of it anymore and there's no way i can chase down the lost time 🛵
But here’s something I can do — slow down the life I have and savour it. Even the parts that don’t make sense, especially the parts that don’t make sense.
To quote the great prophet, Taylor Swift, “our coming-of-age has come and gone”, and here I am trying to hold it down like I am 22.
What can you expect from me? 📮
This is my effort to chronicle my life and its many failed experiments. Every week my musings, meditations and marinated thoughts are served with a side of a fresh new playlist (latest readings and watchlist included).
What do I expect from you? 🐌
Nothing much, have a fun read and a good time. If anything sticks out to you, do reply. Think of these as slow-burn snail mails. I’d like this newsletter to be a safe space for all those with growing pain, a space to think out loud. So, if you have recs for me or thoughts on my thoughts, do let me know.
If you’re seeing this, I have already run two versions of it offline. The idea is to do this every week for as long as I can. It won’t be too shiny, just a mildly edited stream of consciousness with great aesthetics. Why is this not a personal diary you ask? Because notebooks don’t support gifs yet and internet validation is still a thing.
Nah for real, this whole thing is to get over the fear of creating. Just because it’s not Taylor’s Folklore meets Burham’s Inside level of vulnerable perfection, I don’t want to hold it back. I want to create mediocre stuff until I can create things that don’t make retrospectively me cringe. And you get to have the receipts.
If you’re reading the first few, thanks a lot for taking up my offer and being a supporter. I hope to keep seeing you. ☃️
Cheers,
Nana
