For context, I am working in a hospital and nobody is getting their salary. Only those with salaries below 40K got paid for just one month.

We have to work 6 days a week, and if we come even a second late, they deduct it from our salary. But when it comes to actually paying us, we aren’t getting it.

I recently graduated and started working the very next day. First, I did an internship at LUMHS, then an internship at this hospital. They hired me after I completed my 3-month internship. I am currently on probation and have completed 2 months. Only one month to go.

I’ll ramble now, bear with me.

I wake up really early, around 6am (which is really early for me) and leave the house by 7am at the latest. I’ve been doing this for the last 5 months now. I am honestly so tired and my whole body is exhausted.

From my class, a lot of students are still job hunting. Only a few are working, and most of them got their jobs through references. I got mine through my own hard work. I am just so freaking tired. I don’t want to sound ungrateful, but I guess it does sound like that, hehe.

I also got myself enrolled in M.Phil and my classes will start on Saturday. They will be on weekends. I feel like one day my body will just shut down because before I at least had one day off, but now I won’t even get that.

I always wanted to do further studies with my own money. I didn’t want to bother my family, though they scolded me for saying that. I know they don’t mean it like that, but I still wanted to do it myself. My elder sister paid for my entry test and admission fee. I still have to pay the semester fee which I'll pay myself, Insha’Allah.

We’ve been hearing that we’ll get two months salary this week. We’ve been hearing “next week” since last month, so I’m not sure, to be honest.

The irony is that I did get a job offer from somewhere else. I wanted to take that job, but I can’t anymore because of M.Phil. Managing both work and study will be really tough. (It's a lab job, it'll be a lot hectic compared to this one)

I so badly want to log out, but I can’t.

I’m a Pakistani who is born and raised in America but I want to eventually move and settle down in Pakistan. Everyone I tell that too thinks I’m being dumb. I’ve been to Pakistan many times before is it really so bad why do people want to move?

While reading the comments something else popped up in my mind how do you think women who are mothers or sisters or wives or daughters can create a sense of safety ?

I have this thread going on about getting to know men.their emotions and about SA of young boys.

While reading the comments something else popped up in my mind and that was how do you think women who are mothers or sisters or wives or daughters can create a sense of safety ? If it's the right word ?for you guys.

Or what do you think future mothers should instill in their children to become a safe space for boys.

So many of you struggle to express their needs and wants because you have been taught to toughen up.

Or your experience wasn't good and you decided to shut down entirely.

Or your parents weren't good at responding and talked negative things about you in your childhood.

So what do you need from the community that will help you or your children in future when we are gone but maybe something you tell us might be learned by someone else and become a source of ease for someone.

If men struggle what do you need ?

That's my fav question that I have asked you people so far...

So I would love to know.

Beshak Larper ho 😭 plz i need someone to talk to 😭

Enjoy it. Spend some time in it. The heavens have decided to bless us 🤗

I want to rest all week
