About Infinite Scroll
Hi, I’m Siddhi(CD).
You’re probably wondering why someone who spent years handing out pretzels at 35,000 feet now writes about human psychology, habits, and mindset. Fair question. The answer is a little embarrassing, mildly chaotic, and — I promise — worth the read.
But first, a confession: if I just told you the reason, you’d nod politely and forget it in ten seconds. So I’m going to tell you the story instead. Just kidding. Mostly.
The Website I “Almost” Started (2020 Edition)
Back in the thick of the 2020 pandemic, I had this grand plan to start my own website. I was going to build something of my own. I even got close.
And then my old friends — low self-esteem and self-sabotage — showed up uninvited and talked me into joining everyone else’s rat race (well in my case bird race) instead. You know the one: wake up, chase the next shiny title, repeat. I called it running with the flock. Cute metaphor, terrible decision.
At the time, my actual goal was simple: build something of my own while working my dream job — one that paid six figures a year and let me see the world. Somehow, in 2022, I landed it.
I became — you already guessed it, because you’re clearly a loyal reader — a flight attendant.
The Dream Job That Quietly Ate My Ambition
It genuinely was the job I wanted most in the world. But here’s the part nobody warns you about: the website idea I’d been so excited about in 2020 quietly evaporated. Not because I stopped caring, but because I was too busy living the dream to notice I’d stopped building anything of my own.
Picture this: six days on, two days off to recover, then six more days. The “recovery” days were mostly just my body begging for mercy. Add jet lag, fatigue, and a physical battery that never fully charged, and you get someone with zero bandwidth left to think about side projects — let alone start one.
Takeaway: Burnout doesn’t always look like collapsing on the floor. Sometimes it looks like a packed passport and an empty to-do list of your own dreams just like the picture on the left.
Getting Laid Off Was the Plot Twist I Didn’t Ask For
I love the way the universe operates, because apparently divine timing is a real thing.
Back in 2020, I had this vision of building a website to share my thoughts and help people out. The problem? My thoughts, at 21, were exactly as deep as you’d expect from a 21-year-old. I didn’t have the life experience yet to back them up.
So instead, life had other plans. I was meant to go collect the experiences first — meet an absurd number of people, visit more countries than I can count, and then, eventually, get laid off so I’d actually build something with what I’d learned.
Four years into the flight attendant life, that’s exactly what happened. I got laid off. It was devastating, honestly. It’s still the only “job” I’ll ever call my dream job, because it fit my personality perfectly: new people every day, tiny problems to solve, real conversations instead of small talk.
That job is also, unofficially, where my psychology degree came from — the University of A Thousand Strangers on a Plane. I don’t remember how many people I talked to, but I remember this: it was never really about me. It was about them, and about noticing the small, temporary fixes that got people through their everyday chaos.
That noticing is where Infinite Scroll came from.
What “Infinite Scroll” Actually Means
Infinite Scroll is a place where you can scroll for hours and not feel guilty about it afterward — because everything here is meant to actually mean something. No fluff, no filler, just real talk about being a person.
If even one thing you read here helps you through a hard season, this page has done its job. That’s the whole bar. If that happens for you, join the newsletter or tell me in the comments — I genuinely want to know.
Do I Use AI to Write My Articles?
Let’s get this clear: I love artificial intelligence. We all love intelligent people, because we get to learn from them and admire them. I feel the same way about AI. I was raised alongside the internet and rising social media, so I’m naturally drawn to technology. However, if someone meddles with my creativity, I definitely can’t take it.
I’ll be honest — I did try AI in the initial phase of writing. But I realized that no matter how much I asked it to keep my voice, it just didn’t sound like me at all. It’s annoying to read something I didn’t write from scratch. It wasn’t bad. It just wasn’t me.
Since then, me and my AI made a deal: AI teaches me the deeper aspects of psychology and human habits, helps me research until I reach the end of the well, and helps me create beautiful, cinematic images for my website. And since AI never denies you, it agreed. So we work together. Sometimes it even gives me feedback on my articles when I don’t have a proofreader around. But that’s all I use it for.
Don’t worry — I know how it feels when a machine tries to teach you sense and pushes you into doing things you don’t want to do. That’s exactly why you might be here, reading a human voice, when you could just as easily browse one on your nearest AI. But I’m so grateful you’re here, and I will always keep my word.
You can always reach out to me if you have any doubts or questions.
Finding the Point of All This
Looking back, the entire messy detour — the almost-website, the dream job, the burnout, the layoff — was the guidance I needed to actually learn something before I tried to teach it.
I’ve landed on this: my purpose is doing things that make me feel alive. Writing is one of them. Creating is the other. I see a problem, sit with it, take it apart, and try to build something useful out of the pieces — for me and for you, when you’re stuck too.
Because let’s be honest: being human is hard enough. Add a brain that wants to run on autopilot 24/7, and you’ve got a full-time job just keeping yourself in check. My goal here is to help you take that job back — on purpose, intentionally, one small shift at a time.
So here’s the philosophy this whole blog runs on:
Think clearly. Live intentionally.
