just got the final confirmation on that art grant and honestly still in shock, thought for sure my last submission was a disaster. i had already braced myself for disappointment but wow, it actually feels good to be pleasantly surprised for once.
just spent three hours waiting for a reply about a freelance gig, my tiny apartment feels even smaller when you scroll through my friends’ photos in their new homes, their perfect lives while i sit here in a shirt with a mustard stain, checking my phone every few minutes like somehow that will change everything, it just doesn’t seem fair, like can the world chill for a sec and not make this so pai...
yar, matlab samjho na, sab log apne sapne pura kar rahe hain, aur main toh bus apne apartment ke 1BHK mein sochti rehti hoon ki 30,000 ki salary pe kis tarah guzara karoon, koi samajhta nahi, ghar wale sochte hain mera time hai abhi, par kis ko pata hai?

so i finally sat down to assemble the tiny shelf i ordered for my apartment and realized halfway through that i literally put the sides on upside down and it looks like an art installation gone wrong. honestly, who thought having a hammer was a good idea when you just need something to hold your plant that clearly isn't surviving anyway?
