is it weird that i always felt this connection between wanting to see a blockbuster and how much i lean on other people for happiness? saw the news about ‘jana nayagan’ facing delays, and for a second, i just thought, “great, something else to ruin my escape.” like, i broke up last month and suddenly my friends have their lives together while i binge-watch my existential dread on repeat. somehow i...
it's not that i don’t have friends or anyone to talk to. it's just that sometimes, i stand there, hearing people say how well i'm doing, while inside, i'm juggling bills like a clown at a circus. every time i get a message about that job notification, part of me just thinks, “do they realize i’ve been piecing my paycheck together like a broken puzzle?” it’s a nightmare that nobody sees. living lik...
it's not that i dont care about those 902 job vacancies everyone's buzzing about. it's just… why do my parents think my life's a Netflix show, where each episode has to be better than the last? every family gathering feels like an audition for their approval, like they wanna see the latest season of “successful sibling” instead of understanding that life is hard. they act like poverty is just a lifestyle choice, and when i mention stress, they roll their eyes like i’m overacting in a soap opera. i feel like screaming that i’m doing my best in a world that treats me like a punchline. i mean, if i had any say in my fate, wouldn’t i be manifesting a mansion, not dreading the next holiday dinner? #Tshc #FamilyPressure
