well today was . a day I guess
#it was the actual engagement today#so we went to get our hair done#and my sister kept being awful and mean to me so I told her I’m never going to speak to her again#and then I embarrassingly started crying in the hair salon while she just laughed at me#love how she does not give a singular shit abt me bro why do I care so much#oops started crying just thinking abt this 👍 have to hide it before she comes out of the toilet and sees me giving a fuck abt it#so yeah I cried there then I haven’t spoken to her and she just does not care at all#um then we got ready and left my makeup looked awful bc my skin has been suffering so much here#also I have a sore throat which is unrelated but I think it adds to the awfulness of the day#then we got there and gave them their gifts and whatnot#and then my uncle had to reallly awkwardly ask for the girls hand in marriage#like it was absolutely embarrassing#and the tradition in their culture is that the girl isn’t there for the actual asking so it was even more awkward#and the dad didn’t actually say yes 💀 he just gave a king speech and the gist of it was ‘yeah this might as well happen ig’#fr thought he would say no for a second ngl. big mistake from him#but yeah then she came#and there was this really nice tradition where the girl serves ppltea and if the tea is sweet it’s a yes#so we drank the sweet tea and ate snacks it was alright#but there was a professional photographer there#and there was this moment where she was like ‘do one with the siblings’#so I just stood there bc I didn’t know if that included me and my sister#and my aunt got so mad abt that in the car afterwards like. oh sorry did it make you look bad?#well maybe you should have thought about that before you treated us like 3rd class citizens in our so called home#I did get to see their cats though and I think they liked me :’)#also i have realised I just cannot get married to a non pakistani guy. which is so cursed.#bc like this family do call themselves Muslims but like. they drink ??😭 like im 99% sure they had alcohol at the engagement#I just Cannot be doing w that like im supremely uncomfortable with it. which is a side of me I did not know about.#also I really miss my mum today#sometimes I wish I would die so I could see her again#when I was younger I used to think ‘when ammo dies I’ll just go with her so we’ll never be apart’… never did I imagine this
