As of June 21, 2026, here is the exact number of days each person has lived: * Shakir: 10,109 days * Mushk: 8,941 days * Hamza: 8,176 days * Laiba: 5,742 days Shakir (Age 27) June 21, 2026 Hit exactly 10,109 days of life today. It is a strange number to look at, but it makes you think about how fast your late twenties are moving. Spent the afternoon trying to dodge the Karachi heat and catching up on work. There is a lot of pressure to figure out the next big career move right now, but tonight is just about unwinding. Ready to grab some cold drinks with friends and just breathe. Mushk (Age 24) June 21, 2026 8,941 days down. Mid-twenties feel like a constant balancing act between figuring out who I am and dealing with real-world responsibilities. The city is glowing tonight, even with the humidity. Spent the evening listening to music, thinking about goals, and laughing at old family memories. I am slowly learning to trust the process and not rush everything. Hamza (Age 22) June 21, 2026 Day 8,176. Being 22 is a mix of absolute freedom and total confusion about the future. Today was mostly casual—hung out, scrolled through a lot of nonsense online, and planned the weekend. The energy in Karachi always picks up late at night, so I am probably heading out soon. Just taking things one day at a time right now. Laiba (Age 15) June 21, 2026 5,742 days old today! Life feels pretty busy lately with school, friends, and constantly trying to figure things out. Summer days are great, but the Karachi heat makes it impossible to do anything outside before sunset. Spent the evening messaging friends and avoiding my chores. Looking forward to staying up late tonight since there is no schedule tomorrow. Shakir (Age 27 | 10,109 Days Lived) June 21, 2026 Day 10,109. I spent most of the day looking at Dad and Mom, feeling this heavy knot of worry in my chest. This Karachi heat is brutal, and the humidity makes the air feel completely unbreathable. Dad is 56 now, and he still tries to do everything around the house, but I can see how quickly he gets exhausted. I kept begging him to stay inside and let me handle the outdoor chores. With the Pakistan Meteorological Department warning of upcoming monsoon flooding, I’m genuinely terrified of the stress it’s going to place on their health. They spend their whole lives protecting us, but tonight, all I want is to protect them. Mushk (Age 24 | 8,941 Days Lived) June 21, 2026 8,941 days down. I had a long talk with Mom today, and it broke my heart to see how worn out she looks. The city’s environment is getting worse every single year, and the constant threat of dengue and waterborne viruses before the rains has her constantly on edge. She’s 48, but she takes on the stress of the entire household. I watched her boil water in a boiling-hot kitchen today just to keep us safe, and I had to force her to sit down under the fan. I wish I could fix the environment of this city just so my parents could live without this constant health anxiety. Hamza (Age 22 | 8,176 Days Lived) June 21, 2026 Day 8,176. Dad tried to give me a lecture today about staying safe when the monsoon hits, but honestly, he’s the one I’m worried about. He’s not as young as he used to be, and seeing him sweat and lose his breath just walking from the car to the house makes me so anxious. The heat index in Karachi has been totally insane this month. I told him tonight that he’s officially banned from running errands in the afternoon sun. I don't care if he thinks I'm being stubborn. I just need my parents to stay healthy and safe. Laiba (Age 15 | 5,742 Days Lived) June 21, 2026 5,742 days old. It’s hard to enjoy summer break when the house feels so tense. Mom and Dad look so tired all the time because of the terrible weather. I overheard Mom talking about how the bad air pollution affects Dad’s breathing, and it really scared me. Every time the news mentions a heatwave alert or monsoon urban flooding, they both look so stressed out. I tried to help Mom out in the kitchen today and made sure Dad drank his water. I love them so much, and I just hate seeing this city make them feel sick.
