Things no one tells you
1 min readJan 16, 2018
No one tells you at the maternity ward, there will be women screaming
No one tells you that you only put mascara on one eye
No one tells you that it is a relief to tell the truth
That your life is really just a story which you narrate in your head
That the top of your underwear is sticking out of the back of your pants
That your stomach was showing through a gap in your shirt all through lunch
That your new haircut was a mistake.
No one tells you that at least once, you will see a man masturbating in public
No one tells you that it doesn’t get easier to get out of bed
That you never turn the corner and feel like an adult
That that corner, in fact, doesn’t actually exist.
