it's 3am and i just scrolled through another friend's housewarming party photos. their new house, their new life, and here i am in a studio apartment, wondering if last week's leftovers are still good. everyone's life feels like a perfectly edited video, while mine plays out like an awkward blooper reel. i keep telling myself i’m happy for them but deep down, there's this knot of jealousy tighteni...
literally just had my life flash before my eyes in a meeting when my boss took my idea and praised Chad, like, of all people. I watched as he got a standing ovation for what I literally birthed during a desperate 2 a.m. brainstorming session with an extra-large slice of cold pizza as my only witness. now every time I pass Chad in the hall, I wonder if he knows I’m this close to challenging him to ...
is it weird that i always felt this connection between wanting to see a blockbuster and how much i lean on other people for happiness? saw the news about ‘jana nayagan’ facing delays, and for a second, i just thought, “great, something else to ruin my escape.” like, i broke up last month and suddenly my friends have their lives together while i binge-watch my existential dread on repeat. somehow it feels wrong to be excited about a movie when i can’t even feel okay in my own skin. it's funny how everyone expects you to bounce back, like life doesn’t hand you crumbling hope when you just want to scream and… i don’t know, pretend everything is fine. #VijayThalapathyJanaNayagan #emotionalrollercoaster
