People who don’t support you publicly are the ones who talk badly about you privately

Why Do Strangers Support Me More Than My Friends?

Some days I genuinely try to be the bigger person. I tell myself life is about growth, perspective, learning lessons, looking for silver linings. I really try. But then there are days — like today — when I’m tired. Like, deep-in-my-soul tired. Tired of pretending things are okay when they’re not. Tired of staying calm when I’d rather scream. Tired of being polite in a world that constantly tries me.

Also, yes, my period is coming. No, I don’t think it’s oversharing. It’s called context.

I’m not perfect. Far from it. But seriously — is it just me, or is the world getting more bizarre by the day? The selfishness. The double standards. The silent expectations. The weird, passive-aggressive behaviour from people and companies alike. I’d love to send a few of them to hell, but unfortunately, that’s still frowned upon.

Here’s what I’m currently done with:

– Big companies that don’t want to pay for my work unless I chase them like a debt collector
– Not knowing if I’ll ever be able to afford a home because apparently that’s only for millionaires now
– Friends who send 10 reels a day and get upset when I don’t respond with a laugh emoji
– Friends who call me when they’re bored but don’t have time to meet in person
– People who complain endlessly but never actually try to fix anything
– Brands…
