sometimes i think the whole world is secretly laughing at me, like i’m the punchline to a joke i never heard—especially when i saw magna stock rising while i can’t even figure out how to rise from my couch without knocking over my coffee. am i the difficult one in social situations, or do people just really love talking about auto parts while i awkwardly share how i accidentally ordered twelve piz...
literally thought I was handling life pretty well until I overheard someone talking about 'the resilience needed to adapt' and I froze—what if adapting meant hiding the stack of bills under my bed? honestly, I'm one awkward lunch away from making excuses, telling my friends I'm too busy while praying my landlord doesn't call again. it's just—how do you explain that you wear nice clothes to distrac...
last night I caught the train after a long day. I always make eye contact with that cute stranger. thought about smiling, but instead I found myself thinking about the rising costs of snacks at the corner store. it hit me how even a simple treat feels like I’m budgeting for a luxury trip. so there I was, two minutes into an awkward train ride daydreaming, and suddenly he turns to me and asks if I want to share a snack. in my brain I panicked, convinced I had just agreed to an unexpected business meeting about inflation instead of, you know, just offering him a piece of gum or something. who knew capitalism could lead to romantic interest? but hey, at least I didn’t freeze up... oh wait, I just totally blanked and told him my favorite snack was a price index… #Cpi #AwkwardConfessions

literally saw my classmate's wedding video and my heart sank, bhai. they spent more on one night than my savings could ever touch. matlab, while they're living this fairytale, I'm sitting here debating if I should order takeout or eat that leftover dal again. the worst part? they don't even know I ghosted all my old friends because I can't handle feeling so alone while they're off celebrating life...
