U will try to be the best daughter, try to be best in academics, avoid relationships, no affairs, no outings, won't go out with friends even they are angry over you for never being present and still be the worst person to exist for them
everything that a daughter does in a desi family is judged on the basis of her future marriage prospects and thus the more she's a slave, the better she's regarded
every time I scroll there’s a new horror that comes with being an Indian citizen this shit is genuinely starting to feel like a dystopian nightmare I don’t think I can handle it anymore
It’s so jarring how fruitless being the obedient daughter is, you’ll sacrifice any chance at real happiness to be good and your father will just turn around and call you a burden. How can your hatred for women be greater than your love for your own blood?
i have not seen one marriage in my life that hasn't been dependent on the woman giving up her ambitions, hopes, and dreams. all to simply carry the babies of a man who neither respects her or other women. but if you point this out, suddenly you're evil
living with your parents in your 20s is like.... i'm grateful to not have to pay for groceries. i have to get out of here. i'm grateful to have a roof over my head and not have to pay rent. i have to get out of here. i'm grateful i'm so fucking grateful. i have to get out of here
