You go to school. You work hard. You dream big.
You graduate. You get the job.
You become the doctor, the lawyer, the engineer —
The “successful” one they all used to brag about.
And then… everyone disappears.
Suddenly, no one checks in anymore.
No one asks how you're surviving.
No one offers to help.
They say,
“You’re working now.”
“You’ll be fine.”
But are we?
In a country where rent is more than your salary,
Where food prices rise faster than your paycheck,
Where transportation devours half your income,
Where your hospital bills remind you that health is for the rich?
Tell me — are we fine?
Because the truth is:
We’re struggling in silence.
We’re smiling through stress.
We’re pretending we’ve “made it” because it’s what’s expected.
And when the month ends…
We look at our account balance.
And realize there’s nothing left to save.
Nothing left to invest.
Nothing left… for us.
It’s not just poverty anymore.
It’s emotional abandonment.
A betrayal.
Because now that we’re “adults,” we’re expected to carry everything —
Even when our hands are already bleeding.
And the worst part?
We can’t even complain.
We can’t cry out loud.
Because the moment we do, someone will say:
“At least you have a job.”
This is not just about money.
It’s about being left alone in a system that pretends you're okay because you’re employed.
But employment without peace is just another name for disguised suffering.
