i went to the grocery store today and felt this weird emptiness watching everyone else grab their organic produce and specialty cheeses while i’m just here trying to stretch my paycheck that barely covers rent for this tiny apartment with the peeling paint, and all i could think was how i keep playing by the rules but my life looks more like a checklist of missed chances and unfunded dreams.
yaar, matlab samjho na, four years later, and they are still setting up matrimonial profiles like it is a hobby—घर वाले समझते नहीं that I exist outside of their little fairytale. sometimes I just want to send them a memo saying “hello, I am right here and not just a background character in your outdated soap opera.”
i keep wondering if it was wrong of me to laugh when i found my dad's old box of tools in the garage covered in rust, and i thought maybe he should have picked a hobby instead of holding onto it all this time, but who knows, right?

if you are feeling overwhelmed right now, just know that it is okay to feel this way. you are not alone in this struggle, and every tough moment brings the possibility of growth. keep putting one foot in front of the other; brighter days are ahead, even if they seem far away. #Encouragement #HopeExists
