Hello World!
I have spent countless hours observing, listening, and reflecting over human experience. Across geographies, generations, genders and circumstances, one truth stands out: the quiet misery of disconnection, loneliness, and unfulfilled potential weighs on us all.
Yet, in this struggle lies the opportunity to build a life of meaning, not ease. Easy, in fact, is an illusion. Easy, should not be a goal if one wants to achieve anything in life - everything is hard, building a family is hard, maintaining a healthy mind and body is hard, keeping relationships is hard, building a career is hard - not achieving any of this, living a seemingly easy life, is actually harder. So, I have chosen hard.
I believe in simplifying the complex. Beautiful solutions are often simple. To me, a meaningful life weaves together five essentials: health (mind and body), relationships (family, friends, community), purpose (grand or small), money (a tool, not a goal), and hope, the thread that binds them. These aren’t lofty ideals; they’re daily practices, choices we make to live fully, to love deeply, and to leave a legacy of connection.
I find it striking that so many live as if they’ll never die, yet die as if they’ve never lived. I refuse that fate. If my time comes tomorrow, I’ll leave happily, with no last phone call to make, no unspoken words, no missed embraces, no kiss I regret not giving, no song I need to hear one last time. My life is a story woven with purpose, love, and wonder. And, while I am gone, I know I will remain a beautiful story for a bunch of beautiful people. And, I want that for everyone.
This is why I want to build Belong. For remembering that we are connected, that meaning is built daily, that hope belongs to all of us. This is not just an app. It is a movement to address one of humanity’s most urgent needs. And it has the potential to transform not only individual lives, but also homes, workplaces, communities, and societies.
With conviction,
Roshni
