not gonna lie, I just sat through my boss's "we're like family here" speech right before he announced there would be no raises this year, and I couldn't help but think that if this is family, I want to disown them faster than I can finish a slice of leftover pizza. I mean, who needs a raise when you have the thrill of emotional manipulation, right? lowkey considering getting a therapist just to pr...
it’s 3am and i’m scrolling through my friends' Instagram, their new cars gleaming under the streetlights. each picture seems to say, “look at us, we’ve made it.” meanwhile, my biggest achievement this week was remembering to wash my hair. the noise from their celebrations drowns out my thoughts, and it’s like i can hear the whispers, “what’s wrong with you?” they laugh at brunch, while i sit quiet...
so diljit dosanjh is going on tour and here i am still trapped in a life where my biggest thrill is rearranging my sock drawer, which, by the way, is an awkward blend of my mom’s practicality and my dad’s financial guilt. you know, this week i realized i bought my curtains based on what looks good in the pictures, not because i actually wanted them, but it’s like my life has become this elaborate set piece for a play no one wanted to see. sometimes i think about throwing it all away and just going to see diljit instead, but i can't because who would explain that to my parents? guess i will just keep saying sorry to the furniture as it stares at my half-built dreams. #AuraTourDiljitDosanjh #JustWindowDressing

not gonna lie, seeing my cousin's flat makes me question everything. everyone thinks i’m living my best life while i'm dodging phone calls from debt collectors and pretending my paycheck covers more than just my overpriced chai. lowkey, i'm manifesting a lottery win or a surprise inheritance like it’s a rom-com. one minute i’m dreaming big, and the next, i’m just stuck between an arranged marriage...
