Welcome to Thinking, Unfortunately
Why I started this and what you will find
Hi, I’m Asena.
In this newsletter, I share short essays and reflections on everyday life, language, and the small moments we usually pass without noticing. I write about how ordinary objects, phrases, and habits often carry meaning that we frequently overlook.
These texts don’t aim to teach or persuade. Instead, they explore how we relate to ideas, how meaning forms and dissolves, and why some thoughts stay with us longer than others.
This newsletter is for readers who enjoy thoughtful writing, careful observation, and taking a moment to slow down and look again.
Enter: One Confused Cat and One Even More Confused Human
This space is where everyday moments turn into ideas, where curiosity wanders freely, and where I explore whatever captures my attention that week. If you enjoy:
★ noticing tiny, odd moments
★ overthinking them in delightfully unnecessary ways
★ drawings of cats rolling across the floor for no reason
★ gentle reflections on life, creativity, memory, and meaning…
Things I Swear I am Sending on Purpose
Once a week (usually on the same day, unless my brain and cat form a union), I send you:
★ A short essay about something that caught my eye
★ A poorly drawn doodle or illustration
★ A quiet moment to pause and think
★ A tiny surprise or question to carry into your week
Convincing Arguments From a Completely Unbiased Source (Me)
Because the internet is loud, and this corner isn’t.
Because it’s nice to have something soft and thoughtful drop into your inbox.
Because we’re all trying to make sense of things, and sometimes that’s easier when we do it together, human, cat, and wandering brain included.
