Another outburst,
Another reminder of how I have to take it all in.
Fix everyone's problems.
Yet, when things go wrong,
I have to fix those things also
Without showing any emotions.
This is a web of deceit, isn't it?
Everyone's just making mistakes
Because Manisha will fix it
Right?
This is some trick up the master's sleeves
To see if I keep falling for it or not
I do.
I keep falling for these tricks.
I keep picking up the pieces
That other people drop.
I keep reaching out for support
And get none in return.
Even then, it's fineeee
But when I cannot take it anymore
(Let's be real, it's mostly during PMS haha)
And I explode
IN R A G E
I get told
"You cannot get angry"
"You cannot keep screaming"
"You have to just let it be"
SAY WHAT NOW?
It's so easy for others to say...
How about stepping up and doing what I do?
And if you can't,
Have a bit of empathy to just let me deal with my emotions
That I'm drowning in
Because of your incompetencies.
Your lack of care.
Your laziness.
Thanks, no thanks.

Getting Serious About Comedy (Part I)
If I were asked to remark on my life and the childhood that paved some road leading me to this point, I would have to say something about all the funny people who surrounded me for the last 26,872 days (and counting). Somewhere along that road, I became a big fan of laughter and the comedy that spawns it – and, I mean not only my own laughter, but the laughter of others, some of which I have actually been responsible for inducing.

You have written raw, honest, and fiercely real, a brave outpouring of suppressed emotion.
Emotions are valid and when handled properly rage can be your biggest motivator and teacher
Emotions are valid and I wish you peace
Some people are just plain assholes. So inconsiderate and insensitive. I hope you'll be okay gurl. Sending you lots of love and hugs ❤️
a;kjpqojgo'm qeovijn[qeorjg'a.,dx/v .,dkn]tb Oops, I think I messed up my comment. Could you fix that for me, Manisha? In other words, I feel you & I'm sorry about my part in it. Is there anything I can do to help?
It’s honest and powerful.
