What is Nordletter about?
Or, how to write about the same thing perpetually?
The NordLetter is about the immigrant/expat experience, primarily. If I were to go even more specific, it is about an Indian immigrant’s experience living in Finland.
I published NL51 yesterday about celebrating Holi here. And I thought how long can I keep writing about the same thing, again and again.
The answer I got was this: experience is not absolute. Every year, I might be celebrating Holi, but the experience will differ each year. The thing I feel when celebrating it will differ. It might be something related to Holi, or something else that I feel.
Also, nothing is original. So I don’t need to feel this guilt that I am somehow not being original. Nothing is. It’s all a shared experience.
