so there i was, hyper-fixated on the lives of two random strangers who met in a coffee shop, and by the time i found myself researching their entire social media history, i realized i know more about their breakfast choices than my own groceries, which is why i’m still living off that sad half-eaten jar of peanut butter and questioning my life choices...

tu yaa main movie ka naam suna? koi samjhta nahi, par mujhe yeh film dekhkar yaad aaya ki family gatherings ka interrogation session kya hota hai. pichle week meri maa ne savings ke bare mein poocha, jaise sab kuch badiya hai, par andar se yeh samajhta hoon ki mujhe ek burden samjha jata hai. log sochte hain ki bas ghar baithe rahna, ghar bana lena hai — kisi ko nahi pata mere paas loans hai jo unhe nahi pata. matlab sab log jaante hain kahan hoon main, par kya kabhi yeh socha hai ki mera stress kis level par hai? pressure itna hai, ki har baar hansi-mazaak karte waqt yeh sochta hoon, agar mera family mere se kuch aur puch legi toh main unhe kya bataunga. bas soch raha hoon kab tak fake it kar sakta hoon. #TuYaaMainMovie #familypressure

so, i just got "voluntold" to work this weekend again, and honestly, i'm at my breaking point. my relatives are coming over, and i had to say sorry to my couch when i bumped into it trying to escape their chaotic energy. they always want to dissect the news about sporting versus famalicão while i'm just trying to understand why i agreed to this job in the first place. i love my family, but can the...
