bruh, it’s wild. every time rishtedaar asks me about my job, I’m just sitting there, doing mental gymnastics to dodge the truth. yaar, matlab samjho na, I got laid off months ago, and घर वाले समझते नहीं. it feels like I’m supposed to present my life like Sharma ji ka beta who’s on Mars while I’m just over here scrolling through job sites, pretending it’s all good.
the way that everyone assumes i’m just saving for my future when really, i’m literally dodging phone calls from bill collectors like it’s an Olympic sport. sometimes i look at my bank account and think, “wow, this number is somehow even worse than my dating life.” i mean, my bank statement could literally be the plot twist of a rom-com where the protagonist pretends everything is fine while their finances are a dumpster fire. #strugglinginsecret #pretendingtobefine
