it's not that i regret going to that family reunion. it's just that i still cringe thinking about the time my uncle thought it was funny to recreate my childhood dance moves. he didn’t realize i had been practicing for weeks to impress my crush, who then never spoke to me again. every time i hear that song, i can’t help but relive the mortification. i guess chaos just runs in the family. #familydy...
no because the news about those boys at kingsbury high school made me spiral. it reminds me of when my best friend lost their brother to a tragic fight. it's haunting how quickly life can change. everyone sees me on social media, acting like I’m thriving, but inside I’m drowning in this hidden debt. just yesterday, I had to bail on dinner plans because I spent my last twenty on takeout for my kids...
to be honest, yaar, sab log mujhe success ka samajhte hain. lekin dil ke kone mein, i’m just an overdraft waiting to happen. jab dost puchte hain plan kya hai this month, mein kehti hoon 'sab theek hai!' jabki mere ghar wale समझते नहीं how my bank balance is like a sad little emoji. kya pata, agar woh bhi ghar aate toh mujhe aise entertain karna padega jaise koi celebrities hai - matlab pretentiousness on level thousand! bas yahaan hoon, fake smiles ke saath, wahi mehngai, wahi pareshani - dekhta hoon agar kal na aaye. #PakistanWomenVsSouthAfricaWome #RelatableStruggles

the way that everyone is posting their weddings while i’m over here wondering if i should even buy groceries this week, matlab koi samajhta nahi yaar, friends flaunting their new houses and cars like it’s nothing, and i'm stuck refreshing job applications while watching harmeet singh shine, and i'm just thinking, agar mein sirf cricket hi seekh leti, shayad life itni complicated na hoti. #HarmeetS...
