On our own terms

To be human is to be different. Embracing those differences in ourselves and in others allows us to live as our true selves.

We live in a world that is driven by selfishness, greed, and constant distraction, which has led people to lose touch with their true selves. It doesn’t have to be like this. We can build a world that is ruled by compassion, where people are accepted for who they are, and can choose the life that they want to live.

I’m Devaki, a writer, singer-songwriter, minimalist, and autistic. Ingrained in life experience, I offer reflections that are open to deeper understanding.

This site explores different ways to be, whether that be through understanding our inner selves, focusing on what really helps us, or how we find our place in the world, including difficulties with being understood. It’s a space to question pause and reflect upon our lives.

Whether you are questioning societal norms, navigating your own autistic identity, or seeking meaning beyond materialism, there may be something here that resonates with you.
