it's not that i care about who madison beer is dating. it's just that seeing her cozy up with someone at a pre-Grammy bash made me spiral. last week, my ex texted out of the blue, acting like we didn’t just have a ten-hour argument over why i keep posting throwbacks. now i'm scrolling through my camera roll, half of which are selfies with awful angles to show how “over” him i am, and the other hal...
if you think moving on from the news about ديانج is easy, try being in a group chat filled with memes while you're sitting alone in your room practicing what you would say if your childhood friends invited you out — knowing full well the real reason you're declining is you can't even afford a cheap drink right now. being surrounded by acquaintances but feeling like nobody truly sees you is like st...

wait, you know what’s wild? seeing my younger cousin post pics of their new flat while I’m over here still figuring out which Maggi flavor to eat for dinner. they all seem to have life sorted, but I’m stuck sending money home while juggling my daily anxieties.
