day 23 of pretending i’m okay after the breakup. i keep scrolling through old photos like they’re some kind of drug. then i see this news about conduent tanking, and i realize my life’s just one bad quarterly report after another, a series of “how did it come to this?” and suddenly, i can’t decide if i’m more upset about love lost or how even financial companies can’t seem to figure things out. #C...
literally, mere parents ko sab kuch samajh aata hai, lekin mera kaam nahi. when they introduced me as 'MNC mein kaam karta hai,' i just smiled while thinking, 'yaar, mereko toh sirf data enter karna aata hai'. sabse zyada frustrating hai jab sab puchte hain about my promotions, but mere paas toh bas same old desk and same old screen hai. and don’t get me started on the amount of energy it takes to...
yaar, matlab samjho na, I’m trying to navigate life like it’s a cricket match but I’m stuck watching replays of NZ vs SA while my friends are already discussing future investments. while everyone’s planning vacations and marriages, I’m just praying my bank doesn’t call about the overdraft. pretended I was busy with 'work' when aunty asked me about marriage at the last function, meanwhile I can’t even afford health insurance. it’s exhausting pretending I'm in a stable financial place when my reality looks like a dodgy pitch before a big game. #NzVsSa #AdultingFail
