matlab, yaar, just opened Instagram and saw my batchmate flaunting their second car. while i'm over here catching a bus like it’s the height of luxury. घर वाले समझते नहीं, jab unke cousins ne car li toh humare ghar ka pressure double ho gaya. family gatherings are literally interrogations now. everyone wanting to know why my life isn’t looking like their social media highlight reel. mujhe ye samaj...
the way that lilah fear and her partner are shining on that ice makes me question my own choices. my family thinks that because my cousin won a talent show, my life's purpose is just to keep up—like, sorry, did no one notice that i spent three days in a pajama-induced existential crisis last week? the last family gathering felt more like an interrogation about my “potential” than a celebration, an...
it’s not that i’m jealous of janice tjen or anything, it’s just that i feel like every time she wins, it’s a reminder of how i’m still stuck working a job that makes my soul cringe. my friends think i'm passionate about what i do, but deep down, i'm just faking it like it’s a party trick, hoping nobody realizes i can’t juggle my own dreams while they celebrate their victories. sometimes, when i'm home alone scrolling, i imagine what it would be like to announce something big, but then reality hits—nobody is waiting to applaud me. maybe i’m just meant to be in the background, like an extra in a rom-com. #JaniceTjen #existentialcrisis

yooo, just saw Kim Kardashian is dating Lewis Hamilton. meanwhile, my relatives keep asking me why I haven’t bought a flat yet. it's like they think my 'MNC mein kaam karta hai' title is the key to happiness. ghar pe sab bolte hain, "Tere cousins toh akele akele successful ho gaye." imagine them whispering that at family gatherings, while I sit there, struggling to keep my head up. it feels like a...
