ever notice how life has a funny way of throwing chaos right when you need clarity? so here I am, scrolling through highlights of Bologna vs AC Milan, while simultaneously wondering if I'll have enough to buy ramen before my paycheck drops.

literally just saw a classmate's wedding video that cost more than I make in a year. they were dancing in a garden full of blooming flowers, while I’m still in my tiny studio apartment, wondering if my plants are alive. I should be happy for them, but instead, I feel this pit in my stomach - watching people live their best lives is a strange kind of torture when you're just trying to survive. #Tra...
