yaar, matlab samjho na, dowry negotiation felt like a livestock auction where my parents were haggling over my worth in fancy gadgets and gold like i am some kind of a sales item, aur main wahin khadi soch rahi thi ki ye kya hai, seriously, kisi ne samjha nahi mujhe, just hilarious and infuriating at the same time.
was up all night remembering this cringy speech i gave at a wedding in 2016 like why did i say that, i literally wanted to disappear into the floor right then and it just keeps replaying in my head when i try to sleep. like how do you just forget that kind of thing, ugh it is driving me insane.
just got the news that my short story got accepted for publication and i was so ready for the usual rejection but wow this actually worked out. spent years feeling like my writing was a waste of time but now maybe it’s not, like i can actually share my stuff with people.

everyone is looking at me like it’s my fault my daughter is pregnant at 16 but like who prepared us for this kind of thing, right? parenting is tough and nobody seems to get that we all just do our best, like is that too much to ask?
