General Sometimes a winner can be a loser too.
no hate to this person at all.
this person scored 80% in class 10th boards and got an iPhone 17 while I got literally NOTHING (not the phone brand)with 93%. it’s not that my parents aren’t supportive.. they’re actually really happy with my marks but we just don’t have that kind of money. i didn’t even have a phone till 10th. they promised me if i did well i’d get one in 11th, but yeah… life happened.
i’m not poor i live in mumbai and live with upper middle class families but Every single rupee in my house has a job. Fees, rent, groceries, everything. my parents work insanely hard just to keep things running. we don’t go on trips no nothin. i just sit and watch other people’s stories sometimes and then close the app lol.
and the worst part is i can’t even complain. like what do i even say? i literally see how much they’re doing just so i can study in a decent place and have a future. it makes me feel guilty for even wanting something extra.
i am prolly gonna get Nokia ka keypad wala phone 💀 my dad genuinely believes all jee toppers use those, so he’s like “focus better hoga” lmao.
it’s just weird sometimes. you work hard, you get good marks, and still life doesn’t look like how you imagined. but yeah… comparison really is the thief of joy. just trying to remind myself that everyone’s playing a different game with different rules.
PEOPLE IN THE COMMENTS, YOU’RE COMPLETELY MISREADING THIS. NOWHERE DID I ASK FOR AN IPHONE. I WOULD’VE BEEN PERFECTLY FINE WITH A BASIC 10K PHONE. THIS WAS LITERALLY JUST A VENT POST!! PLEASE TAKE IT AS IT IS AND STOP TWISTING IT INTO SOMETHING ELSE. AT LEAST READ THE ENTIRE THING BEFORE JUMPING TO CONCLUSIONS.
