not gonna lie, the weather's changing and everyone is buzzing about new beginnings. meanwhile, i'm stuck at a holiday dinner where my family thinks it's time for an intervention on my "life choices." my heart sank as they dissected my every move while the sky outside mirrored my mood—dark and heavy with unspoken words. I think about how I used to look forward to these gatherings, but now, all I fe...
sometimes i scroll through social media and wonder if everyone just decided to ghost me too. i saw a video of my old classmate’s wedding, all glam and over-the-top. meanwhile, i can't even afford a new pair of shoes. everyone’s celebrating milestones i thought i’d reach by now. it's like i’m stuck in slow motion while everyone else zooms past. feeling left behind hurts. is this what being an adult...

i just found out my toxic coworker got promoted and now they're my boss. it feels like walking into a twilight zone where suddenly every passive-aggressive comment is backed by the power of a management title. all while i’m trying to fast during Ramadan—when all i want is peace and quiet—and now i have to deal with their delusions of grandeur and all the loud "leadership talks" while my stomach gr...
