I Found Somebody Who Can Love Me At My Worst

-

I found somebody who can love me at my worst. 

Who clicks selfies with me when I'm sleeping with my mouth wide open

I found somebody who loves my strawberry thighs,

Who has a super cool yet dramatic family just like mine,

I found somebody who is ready to learn an alien language because why not,

Who is my reel and real boyfriend,

I found somebody who travels kilometres apart to have a cheese grill w me,

Who sings like nobody is watching, who flexes sticky notes,

I found somebody who shares his birthday with Big B and is super Bollywood than him,

Who loves beaches and couldn't care less about it because things he loves are just as infinite as his love is, 

.

I found somebody who can love me at my worst.

That was the primary reason I never felt drawn to them. Also, I’m not very religious, so the idea of marrying into a Tamil household—where I might be expected to participa...

Dressed in a bright orange bodycon dress, with subtle makeup, my hair all over the place but in a sexy way, not-so-large hoops, and the perfect gold studded heels, I looked my best.  This was a lowkey family dinner to celebrate a very special someone's birthday. We chose a pan Asian restaurant and were seated as couples across from each other.  My boyfriend called for a screwdriver, Aunty and I had pina coladas on our mind and Uncle called for rum. The drinks were in various colours and the waiter was a little too confused. He was under the assumption that the boys won’t call for a yellow colour screw driver drink, nor would they drink pina coladas. In a confused state, he served the drinks. Through the course of the dinner, we exchanged smiles, he asked me several questions, took my feedback, and clicked a few pictures for us. It was time to pay the cheque and leave. Our very naive waiter slid the bill next to Uncle and just casually walked away. Sexism exists, yes but why ig...
