yaar, matlab samjho na, last week my account was down to fifty bucks—had to choose between groceries or getting that medication, no one understands the pressure—घर वाले समझते नहीं, why is it always a choice like this.
sometimes i think about how i should have been better at saving money, like when we were barely getting by and i kept buying those little things, just to feel normal. now with the notice and nowhere to turn, i keep imagining what it would be like if i had just put it away instead of pretending like it was all fine.
yaar, matlab samjho na, rent due in two days and account is sitting at fifty rupees, can’t even afford the grocery for the week, बस यार, क्या करूँ समझ में नहीं आता.

the first thing i saw after they left was a collection notice for their library books that i had forgotten to return, and somehow that stung more than anything else.
