day 3 of not knowing how to respond to rishtedaar asking about my job while i silently scrolled through Kaley Cuoco’s life updates. she’s over there with her separation talk and here i am, wishing for a plot twist in my own boring life where losing a job feels like getting left for another person. no one prepares you for these awkward family questions when you have to fake a smile and say “busy wi...
literally everyone in my family is bragging about my so-called "successful career" to the neighbors, but if they knew the truth, they wouldn’t stop calling me. it's ironic because i have hundreds of contacts, yet when i’m low, there’s literally no one to call who really gets it. sometimes i sit alone, scrolling through messages, wondering how friends became strangers and if i’ll ever find my way b...
