عندي مئات الأسماء في موبايل، بس كلهم غرباء. wallah, nobody understands how it feels to sit in a café alone, scrolling through reminders of friends who ghosted after the last group trip. حبيبي, it’s lonely here, just me and the echo of expectations from family, with marriage proposals that make me feel like a stray dog looking for a home. يشوفون ترتيب الدوري الإنجليزي والمنتخب ينافس على الألقاب، وأ...
