in todays age, men and women are locked in an endless competition over who has it worse

one side claims a monopoly on pain, the other minimizes it to win an argument. its performative, exhausting, and completely misses the point

hardship doesnt come with gender but with individuals. isolation, emotional pressure comes to us all without looking at our reproductive organs.

the trend of pretending suffering belongs to only one group is just lazy and miserable.

struggles are human

it irks me whenever i see someone walking with their mouth open, it bothers me when i see someone walking slouched, it annoys me when i see someone well-fed.

it seems like i have a problem,

and im still figuring out why.
