Rants: day 3 of winter break and the only thing more unbearable than the awkward family…

everyone is buzzing about Diljit Dosanjh coming to Vancouver, and my relatives are planning their whole weekend around it. i can't help but think they would have a *ball* going, sipping chai and critiquing my life choices while they're at it. every family gathering is a pressure cooker, where comparisons boil over, and all i hear is what my cousins are doing while i sit there *lost*, holding onto ...

I calculated how long it would take to save for something I wanted—something that felt like a tiny glimmer of hope. Then I stared blankly as the numbers sunk in. That Snow Moon everyone raves about? I won’t even have the energy to gaze at it. I’ll be stuck calculating my worth in empty spreadsheets instead—wondering if I’ll ever even catch a glimpse of my dreams before I run out of time. #Fenomena...

day 3 of winter break and the only thing more unbearable than the awkward family dinners is the constant questioning about my life. "why can’t you be more like your cousin? she has a stable job." why do family gatherings feel more like job interviews than celebrations? each probing question is like a snowflake in my head, slowly building into an avalanche of expectations. oh, and surprise! my life isn’t what it looks like on social media. trying to explain that to my parents is like navigating a blizzard without a map. but honestly, even a snowstorm feels less chilling than the thought of disappointing them. #MetOfficeWeatherWarningsSnow #FamilyExpectations

no because why did the cousin I never talk to suddenly pull out a pie chart to analyze my life choices over stuffing? now I’m sweating and trying to defend my avocado toast addiction like it’s a crime. that's what I get for thinking I could enjoy one peaceful dinner without a personal SWOT analysis from my family. #dinnerdrama #unexpectedintervention
