honestly, every family gathering feels like an interrogation. my parents and cousins are literally comparing my life to everyone else's, asking when I’ll finally settle down or get that "real job."

i overheard my coworker talking about their new car, while i'm still deciding between instant noodles or rice for dinner. the new hire i trained just got a raise and i make less than them. it feels like everyone else is living in a different universe, buying houses, and posting those perfect "ucapan valentine untuk pacar" on social media. here i am, trapped in a job that drains me, all while trying to not be bitter as i crush on the barista who serves me coffee every morning like that will fix my life. love feels so far away, while everyone else celebrates. i just want a moment to breathe, but it seems like those days are gone. #UcapanValentineUntukPacar #socialmediacomparison
