Love only happens if the CTC is right these days
Every time I fall for someone, either they break my heart or say they need to focus on their career and finances.
I get that career is important. But why is love always the last priority? 10 hours at work, 2 hours commuting, and the rest of the time is eaten up by stress.
Sometimes I feel like having feelings is a luxury. Everyone wants love, but when the time comes, it's either the salary or stability excuse.
But I never asked for a package, just a little effort and emotion. Sometimes I think it's easier to stay away. But honestly, deep down, I still crave that real connection that goes "with" a career, not "after" it.
I really don't understand what Adulthood is all about? Why can't love, money, and career all come together?

Kabhi kabhi lagta hai ki pyaar bhi ek aur responsibility ban gaya hai.

I'm in a long-distance relationship and it’s dying slowly. Both of us are working so hard, but no time for calls, no time to talk.

You’re not asking for much, just basic presence. But even that feels premium now.
