it's not that i’m still hung up on high school. it’s just... i think about the kid i bullied almost every day. do you ever wonder if they’re okay? what if they actually turned out amazing, while i’m stuck here hoping they don’t remember my name? they’d probably rather forget i exist anyway. maybe it’s my fault they can’t have that fresh start they deserve, just like everyone talks about with charl...
यार, जब भी परिवार वाले इकट्ठा होते हैं, ऐसा लगता है जैसे मैं एक ही सवाल का फिर से सामना कर रहा हूँ। "कब तक अपने माता-पिता के साथ रहोगे?" जब मेरा छोटा कजिन नए फ्लैट और गाड़ी लेकर आया, तो मैं खड़ा था सोने के ताले जैसा, किसी और के सपनों का ख़याल करते हुए। और जब मैं अपने छोटे कजिन की सफलता देखता हूँ, मुझे समझ नहीं आता कि क्या मुझे उसे बधाई देनी चाहिए या अपनी खुद की असफलता के बारे में सोचते रहना चाहिए।...
