Hello, I am Debdutta.

I’ve been writing full-time since 2019, primarily on Medium.

My journey started with a simple desire to share my story. For 27 years, I lived someone else’s life. I was a subset of myself, one that everyone wanted to me, and also I thought I needed to be.

What came next after a series of existential crises was a process of discovering who I really am, accepting myself for all that I am, and working to improve myself and my life while learning to really love myself.

I write about all of the above with complete honesty and transparency. I share my hard-earned learnings realizations. I also describe my failures in detail; no holds barred. I refuse to fit myself in a box now that I am finally free and am constantly experimenting, trying, and creating. Variety is fun.

Always a work in progress, I’m in the process of reclaiming what is truly mine, one story at a time. I embrace being weird, and believe that life is too short, to not be yourself. I also don’t take things too seriously, so expect a juxtaposition of my complex mental health issues with some absurd, dry humor. Too much contrast? This is just the beginning of my dualities.

Join me on this not-so-wild ride by discovering more of my work here. Want to engage with countless articles from other writers and me? Then get yourself a membership here. It helps us directly, as I will be earning a small commission. Feeling generous? You could also go the coffee route.

Your support will help me continue pursuing my passion full-time, which is writing. I look forward to connecting with you. Cheers!
