it's not that i hate my cousin who's 'doing so well'—it’s just that they can casually quote Nobel Prize winners while i’m still trying to figure out why my plants keep dying, and i didn't even plant them. it’s like, did i lose my social battery because i'm not in the Nobel circle, or are my jokes about *Poland's* parliament speaker getting shunned for Trump also the reason my love life resembles that sad tree in my living room? when people mention their accomplishments, i flash my grocery list instead—who knew navigating produce was my lifelong ambition? just waiting for my turn to get *awarded* for knowing where to find the cheapest avocados. i might as well start collecting awards for emotional turmoil—can that get me an Oscar or something? #Poland #CousinCompetition
