یار، یہ کیا ہوا کہ ڈاکٹر نے کہا سب ٹھیک ہے۔ میں نے تو ساری رات خوف سے نہیں سویا، لیکن اب جو ہوا، وہ ایکسپیکٹ نہیں کیا تھا۔ گھر والے سمجھتے نہیں کہ میری کنڈیشن کیا ہے، لیکن آج بہت خوشی ہوئی۔
so, i visited mom at the home today and the nurse was like, “she told me you abandoned her” and i almost dropped my coffee. like, lady, she doesn't even remember my name half the time, but now i’m the villain of her soap opera—maybe i should get a t-shirt made that says “best abandonment award” because clearly, that is what is on the table here.
sat in the empty living room scrolling through old pictures and trying to find the one where we laughed so hard i thought i would burst, now it feels like just another reminder of how long it’s been since i felt connected to anyone, like im living in a world of echoes and ghost memories.

some days i sit and stare at my plants, the ones i watered once a week that are still alive, and think about how i used to talk to someone about this, and now it is just me, alone, with these green things that do not talk back or have opinions.
