two best friends in a room two best friends in a room

this episode we talk (read: whine) about the typical teenage dream, and how covid isn’t letting us experience it. whether it be staying at home all day or having to watch people live their best lives through your phone screen, we’ve been there and we aren’t happy about it. an episode to remind you that you’re not alone, and it will pass.

this episode is exactly what it would sound like if you listened in on one of our phone calls. we talk about the shows we've been watching lately, Virgin Galactic, leaving the country and not responding to texts. we obsess over people at the airport who look like they have their lives together, Taylor Swift, cake and Kerala weddings. 

we talk about fearing judgement, being called 'brave' for expressing ourselves, the thought process behind posting things on Instagram and changing our personalities for other people's opinions. we discuss the impact someone else's comments can have on our actions and how we try and do what we want anyway. 

cw: anxiety, depression, body image issues

we talk to Shree, Sunidhi and Vishaka about their journeys with mental health and seeking therapy. we discuss how our friends affect our mental health, coping mechanisms, spirals, the lowest points of our lives, and as always, how it can only get better from there. 

we talk about the friends we’ve had and lost, how to know when it’s time to let go and how to know when it’s time to hold on.

in this episode, one of our friends, Neel (who is old), shares his experiences with moving abroad for college, dealing with stress and finding friendship. he tells some funny stories, and we laugh about it and pretend to be professional hosts.
