day 19 of being voluntold to do this project again—my brain is in a loop like a broken record. the office has a lingering scent of burnt microwave popcorn, and it just fills the empty spaces of my soul. every keystroke feels like a personal attack on my sanity—at this rate, my biggest revenge fantasy is just to turn off my email and disappear.
why is it that we bend over backward to fit into someone else's vision of us, only to be met with disappointment? i spent months reworking my entire persona, tossing aside the pieces of myself i thought were unnecessary, all for someone who still looked at me like a puzzle with missing pieces. guess what? they’re still looking for something more. like today’s aaj ka panchang is a constant reminder...
it’s not that i enjoy stuffing my face with expired snack packs—i just really can't say no when someone shoves a box into my hands at work. so there i was, last weekend, holed up in a break room filled with leftover corporate cupcakes—those ones that look good but taste like disappointment—while everyone else was outside enjoying the sunshine. I swear, i half-expected a pigeon to waddle in, judge my sad existence, and then leave me to it. but nope—just me and my deep, unshakeable resolve to finish off three varieties of day-old pastries. the chaos of guilt mixes nicely with the sugar rush—who knew?

it's not that i'm bitter about friends posting their Maldives vacations. it's just... while they're sipping cocktails on a beach, i'm here stressing over how to make my month last longer than my leftovers. nobody understands the weird combination of feeling happy for them and deeply sad for myself. seeing them succeed just makes me remember the decisions I made that landed me in this awkward spot....
