i spent my whole life trying to prove i was more than just a collection of my family's expectations, but somehow i always end up like, “am i the only one here without a perfect Instagram highlight reel?” every family gathering feels like an episode of a reality show where the prize is approval, and they’re like, “how’s your cousin the doctor? oh, you still work at that place?” is it so hard to get...
everyone loves talking about daniel craig and his perfect action roles, while here i am, pacing the floor in my tiny apartment, trying to convince myself my dreams aren't just movies playing in someone else's theater—i scroll through pictures of my friends with new cars, new jobs, and families they’ve built without me, wondering if my life's just a behind-the-scenes blooper reel, my plans to name ...
