so i’m sitting in this crowded cafe trying to focus when my mind drifts to this one time in middle school i told the class i had a pet turtle named frankie and my crush just looked at me like i was from another planet—i never got over it, even now the memory just hits me like a brick. now every time someone brings up pets, i start sweating like i’m about to confess a crime.
कोई समझता नहीं, बस एक चाय की दूकान पर वो नजरें ही बदल गईं जब कुछ लोग लगे मुझसे बात नहीं करने और मेरा वही साथी हंसते-हंसते चला गया।
i was so sure the dentist would say i needed a root canal, had my whole day mapped out around pain and recovery, but they just found a small cavity and told me it could wait till next visit, so i am just standing here, feeling like i just dodged a bullet or something, what even is this lightness, and maybe my teeth are not the worst after all...

i can’t shake the feeling that the extra room i decorated is more of a shrine than a nursery now, and sometimes i wonder if taking down the mobile would feel like saying goodbye to everything i wanted but never got.
