I have been here for fifteen minutes pretending I have a stomach problem. I just needed to cry without anyone seeing me.I am 25 years old. I work as a software engineer in Bangalore. From the outside my life looks like a success. Good company. Good salary. My parents tell their relatives proudly. My mother shows my LinkedIn to aunties at weddings. I am the daughter who made it.But Krishna, I hate this job. I hate it so much that I feel sick every Sunday night. The work has no meaning to me. My manager makes me feel small in every meeting. I look at my screen for ten hours a day and I feel like my soul is dying slowly.I want to leave. I want to do something else. Maybe teach. Maybe write. Maybe just take a break and figure out who I am. But I cannot tell my parents. They worked so hard to send me to engineering college. Papa took a loan. Mumma did not buy a saree for two years. How can I tell them I want to throw it all away?I feel like I am living someone else's life and slowly disappearing from my own.Please tell me what to do, Krishna. I cannot keep crying in office bathrooms. But I also cannot break my parents' hearts.— A daughter, drowning quietly in Bangalore(Letter writer chose to remain anonymous)✉️ WRITE YOUR OWN LETTER TO KRISHNA ✍️💌Send your letter to: [email protected] letter may be read anonymously on this channel to help others.📔 LETTERS TO KRISHNA JOURNALS 🌿Begin your own daily practice of writing to Krishna, reflecting on the Gita, and surrendering what is too heavy to carry alone.🛒 Gumroad: https://themodernmystics.gumroad.com/l/rvlemp🛒 Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/author/themodernmystic🔔 SUBSCRIBE for a new Letter to Krishna every Tuesday and Thursday.#LetterToKrishna #BhagavadGita #CareerConfusion #ModernMystics #Krishna #JobStress #ParentsExpectations #Spirituality #Gita1847 #Svadharma #BangaloreLife #SoftwareEngineerLife ✨
