You know, the dollar keeps going up and down in Iran, and it’s honestly something that affects everyone. People talk about it every single day, and of course, many are worried about the future.

It’s hard to plan anything when the prices change overnight. One day something costs a certain amount, and the next day it’s almost double. So yeah, it’s tough.

But the real problem, I think, is how it’s affecting ordinary people — especially young people. Most of us are just trying to make ends meet, pay the bills, and keep our heads above water. It’s not easy at all.

When I look at youngsters in other countries, they usually hang out with friends, go on trips, watch movies, or just enjoy life. But here, many young people have to think about their future way too early. They’re always worried about money, about finding a job, or how to build a stable life.

And honestly, that’s not fair. Life shouldn’t be all about survival. We all deserve to enjoy our youth, at least a little bit.

Even though things are hard right now, I believe we can still find small ways to stay positive. Maybe by spending time with good friends, doing something creative, or just taking a break from all the bad news.

I know it’s not easy — I’m living the same life. But we have to keep going, stay hopeful, and believe that things can get better. Because at the end of the day, that’s what keeps us moving forward.

I went clothes shopping the other day. That’s something I don’t usually do in summer, and there are plenty of reasons why! The most important one is the weather. Most fitting rooms are really cramped, so it can be tricky to change clothes and try things on in such a small space. You start sweating after just a few minutes, and even if you don’t, it often smells because of the last person who used it.

Having said that, I used to live in a city in the south, and unfortunately, nothing has changed — it’s still uncomfortable! That’s why I usually stick to the same outfits in summer, and most people around understand why.

On the other hand, fall and winter are completely different! I love hoodie season. Even though I have to put on a lot of clothes and wear more clothes to stay warm, I enjoy it. It’s such a cozy combination.
