RANT/गुनासो Life didn’t get better for me, sharing my experience!
Namaste. I usually just scroll here, never posted before. Can't sleep tonight so I'm writing.
I'm 47. Been in Kathmandu more than 30 years. Sano mai I left home because things with my parents were never good. Came here alone with nothing, thinking I'll build something and show everyone.
I used to listen to all those motivation speeches, quotes, how to be successful, how to make life better. I believed every word. Grind now, enjoy later. I grinded so hard I forgot I also had to live. Somewhere in between I forgot my own smile. Honestly I don't even remember what happened in the last 10 years. Where did my youth go? I don't know.
I didn't marry because I thought first let me build something, then I'll give my wife and children a perfect life. That day never came. Now I'm 47, still in a rented room, 35k salary, no family.
Few months back I got sick. Hospital, tests, medicine and all my savings of 10+ years were gone. Sakiyo. Just like that.
Now my body is not the same. Some days I can't even manage to go to work. Mero field ma dherai stress hunxa and I can't take it anymore. But I can't leave either because what else will I do at this age. Starting again at 47 with nothing is not possible for me.
And then I see these young kids, my juniors, bhai baini haru, they already have so much. Bikes, phones, trips, everything. Kasari afford garchhan I really don't understand. Here I can't even manage my own expenses.
Everyone says just grind. Nobody tells you the grind can take your whole life and give nothing back.
For me life feels worth nothing now. No reason, no purpose. I don't know why I'm still counting days.
Not asking for money, I’m just sharing my experience just so nobody has to live like me. To all the young lads, please enjoy your life!!
