just realized seeing that wedding video made my chest tight – while they had an extravagant celebration, i’m hiding unpaid bills under my bed and pretending my life is put together. my parents think i just need to try harder, like poverty is a bad decision and not a silent scream. i could post something positive online, but that won’t change the fact that i scroll through my phone wishing for a l...
the way that i keep telling people i’m "saving up for a vacation" when really i'm just trying to pay off my last impulse buy is wild. like, my fridge has been empty for weeks but i keep dropping cash on takeout because at least it feels like something. everyone thinks i'm fine and living my best life, but every time i check my bank account, it’s like a punch in the gut. just a never-ending cycle o...
