About Somewhere I Kept You
Hi, I'm Shreya. 🌸
And if you've found your way here, I think a part of you already knows why.
Maybe you're carrying something you can't quite put into words. A love that was never officially named. A goodbye that never happened out loud. A memory you keep returning to, even though you know you shouldn't. A feeling so big and so quiet at the same time that the world around you doesn't seem to notice it, but you do. Every single day.
I see you. Because I've been you.
What Is Somewhere I Kept You?
Somewhere I Kept You SIKY is a space for the emotions we carry in silence.
Not the loud, dramatic heartbreaks that get closure and a final conversation. The other ones. The almost-relationships that ended before they began. The love that lived entirely inside your chest and never made it out. The friendships that drifted without a reason. The goodbyes that happened in ordinary moments you didn't even recognise as goodbyes until later.
But it's also more than that.
It's for the feeling of being the person everyone leans on, but no one checks on. The exhaustion of always being okay in public. The guilt of being angry at someone you love. The grief that has no name because nothing officially ended. The version of yourself you lost somewhere along the way and never got to mourn properly.
This is a space for all of that. The unnamed. The unfinished. The unlabelled. The feelings the world told you were too much, and the quiet truth that they were never too much at all.
Here, I write about:
💌 Unrequited love and almost-relationships: The situationships, the silences, the people who were never officially yours but somehow took everything with them when they left
🌿 Healing slowly and honestly: Not the kind that wraps up in a lesson, but the real kind, the kind that takes longer than anyone tells you it should
🌑 The feelings nobody talks about: The loneliness of being deeply known by no one, the sadness of outgrowing people you still love, the exhaustion of carrying old pain into a new life
📖 Unsent Letters: My signature series, where I write the letters we never send to the people who shaped us. To the ones who stayed. The ones who left. The ones who were never really there to begin with.
✨ The truths we're afraid to say out loud: Because sometimes reading the words someone else wrote is the only way to finally feel less alone in what you're feeling
A Little About Me
My name is Shreya Zade, and I'm from Nagpur, Maharashtra, India.
I've always been someone who feels deeply and speaks quietly. Writing has been the way I make sense of what lives inside me, the things I couldn't say out loud, the emotions I couldn't explain to anyone around me, and the love I held onto long after I should have let it go.
I know what it feels like to cry without knowing why. I know what it feels like to be in a room full of people and still feel completely alone. I know what it feels like to carry something enormous in your chest and smile anyway because the world doesn't have space for it right now.
This blog is what came out of all of that.
I started Somewhere I Kept You because I kept meeting people, friends, strangers online, people in passing who were quietly going through the same things I was. Loving someone they couldn't have. Missing someone who hadn't died but had disappeared from their life. Healing from something that had no official name and therefore no official support.
I wanted to build a place for all of that. A corner of the internet that doesn't tell you to just move on or that everything happens for a reason, but instead sits with you in the middle of it and says, "I know. Me too."
That's what this blog is.
