About

Welcome to Runaway butterfly!

Hey there, I’m Dhanshree, a 22-year-old girl hailing from the colorful and vibrant land of India.

If there’s one thing you should know about me right off the bat, it’s that I have an insatiable passion for reading. I mean, it’s not just a hobby; it’s a way of life for me.

My day feels woefully incomplete if I haven’t belted out a tune, delved into the pages of a captivating book, or poured my thoughts onto the digital pages of my trusty journal. There’s just something about immersing myself in books or jotting down my musings that fills me with an unparalleled sense of joy and tranquility. (By the way, here’s a not-so-fun fact about me: I find it strangely comforting to journal on my phone, of all things!)

Now, I’ve always been a bookworm, but the past five years have taken my reading escapades to a whole new level. If you’re curious about how this whirlwind journey began, feel free to check out this post for all the juicy details.

So, dear book nerds, I’m extending an open invitation: Let’s be friends! And in return, I’ll spill all my bookish secrets and revelations with you. wink (Oh, and here’s another not-so-fun fact: I have a penchant for winking in my posts, though the reasons for that remain a mystery.)

I’d say I’m a quintessential ambivert, navigating the spectrum between life-of-the-party mode with the right crowd and cozying up at home with a stack of unread books, never to emerge from that enchanted literary world.

My teenage years were rife with overthinking, but these days, my thought processes have taken a more rational turn. Meditation and, of course, books have played pivotal roles in refining my mindset.

Several years ago, I embarked on a transformative self-love journey, forever altering the trajectory of my life. Embracing the notion that you are worthy of your own love is an incredibly comforting realization. Throughout this journey, I’ve amassed a wealth of knowledge (and I’m still learning, by the way).

I make it a point to glean something positive from every experience, no matter how trying it may be, because as the saying goes, “Whatever happens, happens for a reason.”

In essence, all of this led me to the profound desire to share my insights, experiences, and adventures with all of you lovely folks. I strive to share the wisdom I’ve gained through the medium of Runaway Butterfly.

And that’s the whimsical story of how Runaway Butterfly came into existence. (I promise, no butterflies were harmed in the making!) 😄

But seriously, if you’re someone who tends to overthink, feel deeply, or, of course, devour books like there’s no tomorrow 😉 and you’re in search of inspiration to cultivate self-love, then you’ve stumbled upon the perfect haven.

So, what can I offer you on Runaway Butterfly? Well, quite a bit!

  1. Books: Expect fantastic and diverse book recommendations, intriguing booklists, engaging discussions about books and genres, and, yes, book reviews (but do check out my review policy first!).
