just realized my parents introduced me to their friends as 'MNC mein kaam karta hai.' funny how nobody asks for the specifics of the job. like, they think it's glamorous, but i’m just pretending my twenty-five thousand salary is enough to uphold the family legacy. guess it’s better to live a lie than face their disappointed faces. #VictoriaVsWesternAustralia #adultingisshard
