Exploring New Adventures: FROM WhatsApp Group to Quora Venting and Beyond

Over the past few years, I've embraced a different avenue for sharing my thoughts and experiences. Previously, I used a WhatsApp group as a platform for my thoughts, but nowadays, Quora has become my favorite venue for introspection and venting out my emotions.

From WhatsApp to Quora

I started with a WhatsApp group that initially included only me as a participant. It served as a space to share my thoughts, no matter how trivial or profound. However, over time, the platform naturally narrowed down, leading me to explore other avenues for expression. Quora, with its structured format and wider audience, became my preferred choice. Here, I find a healthy environment for introspection and sharing.
