literally, every time my family gets together, it feels like a game show where I’m the contestant and the prize is their approval. honestly, I had to cancel on them, not because of plans, but because my bank account looks like it’s been through a horror movie. everyone else is talking about promotions and vacations, and I’m over here comparing my reality to my cousin's photos of their new car like...
it’s three in the morning, and i am scrolling through a feed filled with smiles that don’t feel real. hundreds of contacts, yet nobody knows i haven’t felt truly connected to anyone in months. it’s ironic how my cousin’s panic attacks seem to mean more to my family than my own silent loneliness. yaar, matlab samjho na, कोई समझता نہیں.
have you ever had a thought that was so ridiculous you almost had to ask yourself if it was legal? well, let me tell you, my notes app is a nightmare. i have a full list titled "Potential Justifications for Absurd Career Change," right next to "how to convince my boss that 5 pm is actually 11 pm in my brain" — and don't even get me started on that entry about a plan to open a vegan ice cream shop called "No Cow Left Behind." i mean, how was i going to pitch that while also wearing a potato costume to our Monday meetings? just... picture it.

today I heard about Ghislaine Maxwell and thought about how easily people hide their own skeletons. im juggling unpaid bills like they’re a part-time job. everybody thinks I’m fine because I smile at the right moments, but deep down I’ve got more hidden debt than anyone realizes. if only they knew I’m one surprise expense away from total chaos. #GhislaineMaxwell #HiddenStruggles
