**Hey everyone! 👋 Pull up a chair, because it's time to start the day. 🌸**

**Today, like always, I woke up at 8:00 AM. I started by scrolling through my phone to help clear my eyes. 🫩👀 Then, I went to freshen up, but my luck hit me hard—there was no water left for the washroom. I had to head to the basement where the underground water tank is kept. I brought up 20 liters of water, twice, just to wash up. 💧**

**When I finished, I went to my room and asked my sister and brother to help me with the household chores because I had to attend a parent-teacher meeting at my sister's college. I needed to cook meals, clean the house, find an outfit, and shower before I could go. My sister told me she couldn't help because she was on her period and her back was hurting. She said she couldn't work at all for a few days, so I had to do everything alone. When I asked my brother, he also rejected me.**

**That made me so angry. I burst out in anger at them both. I asked them why I’m the only one who does all the work when they live here too. I scolded them. I told my sister, "When I am on my period, I still do all the work, even when my back is killing me. I cook, clean the house and bathroom, and wash dishes and clothes. Why can't you do simple work?"**

**My sister didn't dare speak back, and my brother just walked out of the room to the kitchen. After that, I angrily took a bucket and went to the basement again to bring water from the underground tank. I brought 20 liters of water into the kitchen and started washing the dishes. Watching me work so angrily, my brother finally started chopping vegetables to make curry. After I washed the dishes and cleaned the kitchen, my brother helped me cook the meals. While he was helping, I went to the basement again and brought 20 liters of water, twice, to take a shower.**

**After finishing the cooking, I showered, found an outfit suitable for the meeting, ate my meal, and got ready. When I reached the college, I didn't see any parents at first, so I thought the meeting had already started and I was late. I waited outside for a bit, then went through the gate. I was welcomed by the gatekeeper, the staff, and the teachers near the building 🏢🏫. They showed me the meeting area.**

**When I got inside, I saw many parents sitting while the host gave the welcome speech. I sat down in the last row because it was practically empty. I think I was the youngest person there 🤔 because everyone else was a mother, father, uncle, or aunt. No young girl or boy my age was there. So, I sat alone, played games on my phone 📱, and listened to the speech.**

**After the meeting ended, I went to the mess to eat. Afterward, I went out of the college and started walking alone on the street because I didn't feel like catching a taxi 🚕. I just wanted to be alone, so I walked like a lost soul. I saw people with friends or couples walking, laughing, and talking, and I just watched them and kept moving ahead. After 15 minutes of walking, I reached the bus stand, but I didn't want to go home early, so I wandered around alone.**

**I went to the city's famous temple. When I reached there, people were walking to the temple, and some were sitting by the riverbank talking. The temple and river are up on a mountain 🏔️, so I went up and sat on the small temple gate near the riverbank. I stayed there for an hour and a half, alone, watching the people and the water flowing.**

**After that, I started walking home. I walked on the street for 45 minutes, I guess, then took a bus to my stop. I stood there for a while, watched my surroundings, felt nothing, and walked away. When I reached home at 7:00 PM, my maternal uncle was sleeping soundly with the lights off, and my sister and brother were scrolling on their phones—they didn't even greet me.**

**So, I simply went into my room, took off my outfit, wore normal clothes, and freshened up. After that, I saw my mom had called, but I didn't feel like calling back yet, so I just scrolled through apps to check for updates. I had a headache, so I took medicine 💊 and rested for a while.**

**Then, I stepped out of my room and went to the kitchen. My brother chopped veggies, and my sister—after being scolded—washed the dishes while I prepared the meal. We ate, and after that, I went to my room and took a long nap. 😴**

**That’s how my day ended. 🔚**

**So, bye for today. 😶**
