South Asian marriage norms tell me I should have been married a long time ago. I tell myself I’m nothing special. My parents tell me I’m too quiet. My friends tell me I’m weird but that’s what they like about me. My resume tells me I’m some sort of analyst. My passport tells me I’m an American citizen who has yet to see the world. Well-meaning casual acquaintances tell me I should be attending more social gatherings. My supervisor tells me I’m a bright person. My body tells me I need to take more care of it. My head tells me there’s something more to it all than this. My heart tells me not to listen to what everyone else tells me. My soul tells me the answers are out there. So what can I tell you? And what do you have to tell me?
