The question of agency has always intrigued me beyond measure. How much of me is ‘me’, and if all of it is a product of socialisation, then does such a thing as ‘agency’ even exist? I’m shaped by a world outside my control, but that most certainly doesn’t extinguish my me-ness. I want this website to be an exercise in unravelling, extending and exploring what I am- independent of but still tied to the structures that have and will continue to shape my life and all that I stand for. I moved to London a year ago for my masters, and that has only changed me for the better. The last one year has been nothing short of transformative and enlightening—in terms of realising my academic potential, forming new relationships, discovering what I like, don’t like, what works, doesn’t work, and everything in between. I theoretically knew what being in a new country and culture could be like, but in no way did that compare to everything I’ve done and been through so far. Everyone keeps saying I’m incredibly young and that my life is just beginning- which is true- but I can’t help but feel like time’s running out. That might just be my anxiety, or the fact that the world’s changing for the worse. Nonetheless, I do know- somewhere in there- that time isn’t linear, it’s not running out, and I’m exactly where I’m meant to be, even if I don’t always feel it. As all things are and should be, I’m constantly in flux, and this website is always going to be a work in progress—take what you might from it.
