Who is Plain Toast?

The rawest version of me before all the layers get added—no sugarcoating, no aesthetic filter, just unfiltered thoughts and existential spirals.

I question everything, overanalyse my own decisions, and sometimes wonder if I should just drop everything and move to a quiet town with no WiFi.
If you want deep dives, chaotic reflections, and my most unhinged but honest takes, this is where it all starts.

Because this slice?
📖 Breaks down books that break me open
💭 Spirals regularly, reflects deeply
😵‍💫 Is 70% overthinking, 30% journaling through it

If you’ve ever stared at the ceiling wondering what it all means, this is the slice for you.

I know science says we all see the same colors, but what if my “blue” is someone else’s “purple”?

.....

Why does my brain replay awkward moments like it’s a highlight reel?

.....

Am I craving coffee or just the idea of being a productive person?

Let’s Toast to That : The Current Fixation

Image of a bookshelf linking to Plain Toast’s “Let’s Toast to That” series launch—featuring reflective essays, book-fueled spirals, and identity deep-dives.

Not a book review. Just a souvenir from the sentence that saw me.

Welcome to Plain Toast — the cozy corner of my brain where books meet breakdowns, and quotes hit harder than they probably should.

This isn’t a review series. It’s a reflection ritual.

Here, I raise a metaphorical slice of toast to the one quote, moment, or existential slap in the face from each book I read — the bit that lingers, cracks something open, or just makes me spiral beautifully at 3am while organising my pantry.

Each post = one book. One quote. One soft revelation.
Served warm, slightly cheeky, and deeply personal.

So no, this is not a deep dive. It’s a deep feeling.
A crumb trail of clarity in a world that runs on chaos and Canva templates.

Because sometimes, you don’t need a five-step summary.
You just need someone to say:

“Oh wow. That line? Same.”

Let’s toast to that. 🥖✨

The world throws parties when a woman is chosen—but not when she chooses herself. This is a love letter to career wins, silent achievements, and building our own celebration stage. Confetti optional. Toast mandatory.

Before you add toppings, you need a good base.
