The Last Thing I Got Excited About: A Personal Reflection
Excitement—sometimes it comes in a wave, sometimes it slips in quietly. Recently, I found myself grinning ear to ear, wrapped up in that feeling, and it all started with a simple moment at my desk.
I’d been working late one evening, surrounded by scribbled notes, mood boards, and my trusty laptop—a scene that feels both familiar and endlessly comforting. The clock was ticking past midnight, but instead of feeling tired, I felt charged up. That spark? I was designing a new visual concept for Aadya, my brand that’s grown alongside me, almost like a reflection of who I am and who I’m becoming.
What made this moment so electrifying wasn’t just the project itself—it was the feeling of possibility. As I started piecing together quotes, colors, and photographs that felt true to Aadya’s essence, something shifted in me. It was as if my creativity had finally found an open window, and the fresh air was exhilarating.
I realized I wasn’t just making content for an audience—I was speaking to myself, encouraging my own growth, celebrating each little creative leap. This process reminded me of my love for spontaneous brainstorming; nothing feels quite as alive as seeing an idea take shape on the screen right in front of you.
My excitement wasn’t loud, but it was steady. I danced in my chair as I picked out palettes, thought up captions, and imagined how this new direction could inspire others. That night, I reconnected with the original joy that pushed me into content creation years ago—the thrill of making something meaningful.
Sometimes, the things that excite us most are the ones that come from listening closely to our inner voice. For me, the last thing that got me genuinely excited wasn’t just a new design for Aadya. It was the reminder that creativity—my own, in this small midnight moment—could still surprise me, motivate me, and encourage me onward.
And honestly, I hope I never stop noticing those sparks.
What’s the last little thing that made your heart jump? You might be surprised how meaningful it turns out to be, if you take a moment to notice.
