@Kic The inevitable thought 🥺

1.Realising that you'll have to go for an arrange marriage 2. parents getting older, their deteriorating health 3. Forcing yourself into behaving like an adult and thinking or responding more logically rather then respecting your emotions, when you really want to just be a kid spreading love everywhere. 4. Realising that nobody actually knows what the hell adulting is and that mostly everyone is faking through it. 5. Realising how messed up the world really is and that religion drives more people then law/order/logic. 6. Attending funerals. 7. Heartbreaks and not being able to find love at all. 8. Endless responsibilities and expectations from family/society

Losing friends. We thought we'll always be together, and then college happened and then work.

  1. Realising parents are getting old and there is still a lot I want to do for them.
  2. Arrange marriage scenario - seriously it is a different kind of headache
  3. Going through changes and being getting comfortable alone. It's hard, when you see your friends and people around you moving in life, going abroad, having marriages and you are just trying to figure yourself out.
  4. You miss your innocence and freeness to talk with friends. Now, you have to think like multiple times and have to change yourself as time passes by.
  5. Seeing a Transition where you could talk your heart out and now Keeping everything to yourself and then just overthinking on it.
  6. Crying, and then wiping out your tears yourself.
  7. Expectations from family and not able to fulfill it. Other societal.expectations and comparisons that lead you to doubt yourself

  1. Going out yourself alone for comedy shows, movies, shopping, exploring and you don't try to bother people as I have dealt with experiences where people didn't had time for me where as I used to make time for them from my busy schedule. So, you change yourself and expectations are set to zero from everyone. Try to figure out yourself each day, try to stick to a routine, you follow it, either pass or fail, introspect yourself, and repeat that process again to make yourself each day better.

Adulting is scary

So, my friend's parent passed away due to cardiac arrest. He is clueless about his dad's policies, savings, stocks. Not that they're strapped for cash, but he'll be spending months sorting through this mess.
