میری فیملی ہر بار جمع ہو کر صرف ایک ہی سوال کرتی ہے، "تیری کزن کی طرح کیوں نہیں؟" ان کو پتہ ہی نہیں ہے کہ وہ ٹوپرجینیئس ہونے کے ساتھ ساتھ کس شدت سے اینگزائٹی کی جنگ لڑ رہی ہے۔ کیا غریب ہونا واقعی چُناؤ ہے؟ سب خوش رہنے کی دکھاوا کرتے ہیں، جب کہ اندر سے، سبھی بکھر چکے ہیں۔ زندگی اور پریمیئر لیگ کی طرح لگتا ہے، کبھی کبھی اچھالنا مشکل ہو جاتا ہے۔ #PremierLeague #LifeIsHard
not gonna lie, my mom asked me again when I’m having kids and I just smiled, thinking about the baby names I’ve planned with the ghost of a partner I haven’t met yet. it’s like, is it too much to ask to at least have a life plan before I start drafting those announcements? meanwhile, I’m glued to the figure skating Olympics news, watching kids make history and realizing their lives are just beginn...
day 47 of avoiding family gatherings—just got my screen time report and it's scary. not even a single call back to my parents—just countless hours of scrolling through sports updates like "مبابي يغيب عن تدريبات ريال مدريد." they don’t see me staring blankly at the walls during dinner, feeling like a disappointment for not being the one who aced everything. always compared to my cousin with a "real job" and two kids—it’s like they don't realize I'm drowning—just trying to stay afloat in a sea of expectations—what’s next? will they finally realize i don't have my life together—or will i be stuck on this hamster wheel? #الدوري_الاسباني #familypressure
