i haven’t had a real conversation in weeks, so yesterday, i tried chatting with the barista at my favorite café. somehow, it turned into a full-on monologue about how i once accidentally threw a birthday cake into a lake. i realized halfway through that they had started prepping a cappuccino and weren't even listening. it’s like i channeled my inner shahid kapoor, but instead of suave, i ended up ...

bruh, yaar, just saw the teaser for Shahid Kapoor’s new song and it hit me harder than my last three dinner attempts. matlab, I'm sitting here making burnt toast while he’s out here channeling all the retro swag I can’t even replicate in my pajamas.
