Walk into her room, and you feel it—the rhythm of someone always in motion. She is independent, driven, a little clumsy, and deeply emotional. She pours coffee and weaves herself through the layered tender day ahead, waiting for her. A caregiver, an advisor, an emotional buffer, sometimes even the third parent to her sister, Arushi is a 20-year-old girl asking, how do I balance it all? The story is about the safely kept birthday cards, it's about the deep breaths while calming her parents, and the tired smile that lingers just before sleep.
Stealing away moments of peace from the quiet exhaustion, her friends make her feel at home. It’s in these friendships and wordless stares that she finds her belonging.
