What I Think About the Arranged Marriage Culture in Pakistan

The overall arranged marriage culture, in my opinion, is so toxic that it makes any sane person vomit. Both the genders are objectified; women especially are scrutinized from head to toe when someone comes to see them.You hear stories of girls getting rejected over petty things like having slightly crooked teeth to talking too much to not having beautiful feet as there is legit a foot fetish among desis, I swear to God.

What is normal ?

I hate the word ‘normal’. What is ‘normal’ anyways? Things you consider as normal might not be normal for me. My normal and your normal might be completely different.

It’s a struggle

It’s a struggle to live a life on your own terms. It’s a struggle to trust someone. It’s a struggle to be vulnerable. It’s a struggle to be real. It’s a struggle to love someone. It’s a struggle to hate someone. Life at the end of the day is nothing but a struggle to constantly […]
