A note about the note-taker
Hello, I’m the person behind The Happaholic.
Nice to meet you and I am Shivu an evolving weirdo. I write about the strange work of becoming yourself - usually while I’m still in the middle of figuring it out.
01
Who I am
I’m a collector of thoughts, half-finished observations, and stories that become funnier after a little distance. I care about honest writing, ordinary moments, and leaving enough room for life to be contradictory.
02
Why The Happaholic exists
This began as a place to put the thoughts that didn’t belong anywhere else. It became a record of growing, getting things wrong, trying again, and noticing small things before they pass.
03
What you’ll find here
Adulthood, emotions, friendship, humour, confusion, quiet revelations, and the occasional unnecessary overthinking of a perfectly normal Tuesday.
- Currently learning: to leave a little space in the day
- Always collecting: sentences and tiny observations
- Firm belief: life is allowed to be a work in progress

Say hello
If something here made you laugh, think, or feel slightly less alone, I’d love to hear from you.
