Well, hello! Thank you for stopping by. Grab a cup of tea, get cozy, and join me on this journey of self-discovery.
The Tuesday Tapestry is a biweekly newsletter that examines the common threads of humanity that weave us together.
It’s an ever-evolving space that embodies the various facets that make us who we are: our cultural identities, our relationships, our hardships, our hobbies, our joys.
On the surface level, each of these components may seem disparate, but the deeper we look, the more we realize how interconnected they are. Together they come together, forming the figurative tapestry that depicts our lives.
Above all, this newsletter is an invitation to push back against the fast-paced, output-focused society many of us find ourselves in, and instead, take a pause and look within.
The world needs your unique gifts and perspectives. I hope that my words will help you acknowledge your talents and use them to connect with your inner creator and feel stronger in the midst of life’s uncertainties.
About the Author
Well, hello!
My name is Brina Patel and I’m the writer behind The Tuesday Tapestry.
I’m an Indian-American twenty-something based in Northern California with an unwavering love for books, music, travel, languages, my Maltese, and deep conversations.
Writing, for me, has always been less of a hobby and more of a necessity — a form of empowerment and unapologetic self-expression; a way to reclaim my experiences and identity in a noisy world.
Words are also a powerful form of connection. They bring to light our sources of shame and sorrow, allowing us to chart a clearer course forward. When we share our stories, we let others know that — no matter what they’ve been through — they’re not alone.
That is my mission here: to allow yourself to feel seen; to own your story, wherever you happen to be in your journey.
