Who am I?

Oh, hellloo there! So you are curious about who am I? Am glad, am glad!

Soft, yet unapologetically firm.
Independent, yet deeply human in my need for connection.
Grounded in logic, but ruled by emotion when it truly matters.
Healing, not healed – and at peace with that.

I carry grief gracefully. Some days it sits heavy, some days it fuels me. I have loved deeply, trusted fiercely, and learned often the hard way that self-respect must come before attachment.

I am someone who stopped chasing. Not people. Not validation. Not timelines that don’t belong to me. I am someone who is learning to stand still and let what’s meant for me arrive without force.

I believe in growth, not perfection. In kindness, even when empathy runs out. In discipline, movement, and showing up for myself even on the days I don’t feel strong.

You read all of that? Then you definitely know who I am 😊 But in an objective sense, I am Sreeja Gadhiraju – a Science Manager at the best university in Europe, a solo traveller who has been to 40 countries (not all of them were solo, but let’s not kill the vibe 😄), an author, a fitness enthusiast, a borderliner woman in her thirties who finds her happiness in tiny little things and believes that life is nothing but an exchange of energy between the universe and oneself.

I am not who I used to be.
And I am not fully who I’m becoming yet.
But I am deeply, unmistakably me –
and for the first time, that feels enough.
