Learning to love yourself (& others)

Okay! I’m back with the next chapter :))))

I hope you enjoy

👌😩💛😩🧡😩💛😩🧡😩💛😩🧡😩💛👌

“What did you find cariño- dios mio! Where did you get a baby?”

Luisa looked down at the child in her arms and then back up to her abula, “she was just wondering around on the ground, she doesn’t seem to know where she is” Luisa shrugged and looked at her tia Pepa.

“I was wondering if you could look after her whilst I grab the firewood and then I’ll take her back to the village- I’m sure her mama must be worrying about her.”, Pepa saw nothing wrong with this and held her hands out for her niece to give the baby to her “I’m sure Camilo and Mirabel would love somebody new to play with.” Pepa cooed softly looking at the aforementioned children, both looking at Pepa curiously.

Luisa nodded and handed Poppy over, Poppy woke up once she felt herself being bustled around but again, did not fuss. Luisa strode into the woods again, but this time with purpose, as now she had an important job to do

Pepa held the baby softly in her arms and examined the child she now held in her arms, it seemed that the child was blonde, or at least Pepa thought she was blond, it could have been the light from the sun making the child’s hair seem that light but she passed it off as blonde. This, alone, was quite unusual as there weren’t very many people born with naturally blond hair in Encanto.

Poppy squirmed in the new hands that held her and opened her eyes.

Pepa, who was quite taken aback by this new development shrieked a little at the small child’s eyes, who were staring without direction and were a gorgeous milky white. The rest of the family immediately looked towards Pepa, and Felix with Delores in tow approached her to find the cause of her apparent fright.

When the family had all gathered around Pepa she whispered as to not overstimulate Dolores or the child in her arms “look at her eyes, this child, she’s blind.” and as Pepa spoke those words, Poppy decided to open her eyes once more as if to say ‘yes I am, so what?’

The family gasped in surprise. This would surely mean that the mother or father of this child was looking frantically for their missing daughter and that it was high priority to get her back to the village.

Julieta spoke calmly “she must have been born blind- there’s no possible way this could have happened naturally.” she looked at her husband, who was holding Mirabel, whose glasses were just about to fall off of her small nose. “Mi Vida.” Felix said softly, as he had noticed the small rain cloud forming on top her his wife’s head “Mi Vida the child is fine, I think we should pack our picnic up and go and find the parents together.”

The family agreed and started to pack up whist Camilo stared up at the girl in his Mamas arms, curious and ready to make a new friend.

When Luisa arrived back to the family spot they explained that they were going to find the kids parents together, and that they were calling it a day anyway. Pepa explained to Luisa that the child was blind and probably crawled towards the vibrations that Luisa was making, which Luisa had Nodded at, it seeming to make sense.

The family made sure they had everything together and that all the children were accounted for, and then set off, to find the girls parents.

👌😩💛😩🧡😩💛😩🧡😩💛😩🧡😩💛👌

Ahhhhh the second chapter is doneeeeee

Eeee I HAVE SO MANY PLANS FOR THIS FIC HAHA!

Flirting with A... Baby!

Terrible name I know XD. Only tw is Roman is a little rude but he's quickly nicer!

Word Count: 2,043

Remus was hanging out downstairs while his boyfriend and brother were filming their video with Thomas.

He looked up and smiled when he saw that Virgil's eye shadow was a purple color. "Hi baby, I can see you're excited!"

Virgil giggled and sat in remus' lap. "Mhm! M help tommy an daddy!! Daddy called me brave!"

"Oh he did? Well your daddy is right! You're the most brave little baby ever!"

Roman walked in and smiled when he saw his brother and boyfriend. "Is papa getting all the cuddles?"

Virgil gasped "daddy!!! Papa called m brave too!!" Virgil said, making grabby hands at his daddy.

Roman chuckled and scooped up Virgil "oh he did? Well that's very nice of him to say! Now, I think your papa and I have a baby who needs to be changed. Isn't that right rem?"

"I think so Ro, I think our baby needs to get into some comfy clothes!" Remus said, leading the two to Virgil's little space room.

"Daddyyyyy, papaaaaa, m not a babyyyyy" Virgil said, pouting at the two of them.

"Oh really? Well how old is our not baby?" Remus said opening the door for Virgil and Roman

"M five! Very big kid!" Roman chuckled and sat on the bed with Virgil in his lap "wow baby! You're very big! Does our big boy wanna pick out his own clothes?"

Virgil nodded excitedly and ran over to his closet. He looked around a bit before pulling out a nightmare before Christmas shirt and a purple skirt. He also grabbed a pair of red and green socks "m wanna wear this!"

Remus and Roman awed at Virgil "okay baby boy, let's get you changed! Do you need help honey?"

"Uh uh m big boy!" Virgil said rushing to the bathroom. "He's so cute, isn't he ro?"

"He really is. I'm glad he's so excited too! I think this is the first time I've seen him with purple eyeshadow before he was fully regressed"

"I know! Whatever y'all did to make him so happy I'm really proud of" Remus said hugging Roman "speaking of, you know I'm proud of you Ro, right? I hear a lot of what you say about yourself and you don't deserve it."

Roman blushed and teared up "thanks rem, I really needed to hear that."

Virgil came running back into the room smiling at the two excitedly. "Lookie daddy and papa! Lookie at m skirt!" He said twirling around

"We see that little emo," Roman said scooping Virgil's up and twirling the boy around some more.

Remus smiled at them "how about we go get our little emo something to eat?"

"Mhm!! I wan sghetti peas???" Virgil said wiggling in excitement "of course little glitter spec, papa rem will make that for you! We all know he's better at cooking than I am anyways"

Remus laughed a bit at that "it's true! Daddy ro has burnt cereal before" Virgil giggled knowing it was true "daddy? Does burnt cereal taste goods?"

Roman let out an indignant gasp causing Virgil and Remus to laugh "for your information little emo it didn't in fact taste good"

Roman sat Virgil on the counter as Remus started grabbing things for dinner. Virgil happily kicked his feet.

Remus smiled and looked at Roman "hey, bub c'mere please?" Roman nodded and walked over to Remus

"Don't think I didn't notice that you also slipped while filming. Just because you weren't regressing to baby ages doesn't mean you weren't regressing. Now bub, mind telling me how old you really are?"

Roman huffed, his mood immediately changing to make him feel a lot more sassy "why do you care old man?"

"Ah I see I'm guessing you're in teenager ages? How old? 13? 14?" Remus said ruffling Romans hair

"I'm fifteen! Get it right you old fart! And leave my precious hair alone!" Roman said, quickly fixing his hair.

"No no Roman, I don't care how old you are, you still need to be polite or it's time out. Or even grounding. You understand?"

Roman groaned "Take a joke old man" Roman said pouting "Okay well either you agree to be nice or you can go wait for dinner in time out. Which do you want, kid?"

"I guess I will be nice to you," Roman said before hopping up on the counter next to Virgil. "Roman bud, do you wanna go get changed before dinner?"

"Sure dad, as long as I don't have to wear a… a stupid skirt like Virgil" Roman said crossing his arms

"Roman! Nuh uh, we don't insult Virgil mister. Especially seeing as he is younger than you. Corner now" Remus said snapping his fingers and pointing at the chair in the corner

Virgil was sobbing at this point, he really liked his skirt but his big Bubba said it was stupid. Remus scooped up Virgil and started patting his bum gently "it's okay baby boy, Roman is just moody. I think your skirt is very handsome"

Virgil sniffled sadly "w-weally?" Remus nodded and rubbed Virgil's back "really honey! Now, why don't you go play in the living room until dinner is done, okay?"

Remus gently sat Virgil down on the ground and smiled as the boy scurried off. "Now, Roman why did you say that?"

Roman looked away from Remus, ashamed of himself. Remus sighed and sat down in a chair in front of Roman "what's wrong Bubba? You're normally never that mean to Virgil, especially when he's regressed and younger than you"

"I- I'm sorry dad" Roman said crying a bit "I bet you are Roman, I'm not mad at you but you can't say those things to Virgil. He's sensitive to people saying harsh things to him"

Roman nodded "I… I only said that because…" Roman said mumbling the rest. "What was that bud?"

"I wanna wear a skirt too!" Roman said quickly "oh Roman, buddy, you can wear a skirt too. Just next time don't insult Virgil please?"

Roman nodded "of course dad I won't do it again" Remus smiled "I know you won't, now go on and get dressed while I finish making dinner"

Roman happily scurried upstairs to get dressed. Remus watched him fondly before going to finish making dinner.

Remus quickly finished making dinner "okay kiddos! Dinners ready!"

Virgil and Roman hurried into the kitchen. Remus chuckled and smiled at them "you can both take a seat at the table I'll bring your food"

Roman smiled and picked up Virgil, carrying him over to the table before sitting them both down. Remus watched fondly before sitting down the boys plates in front of them. "What do you two want to drink?"

"Can I have water dad?" Roman asked politely "of course kiddo, what about you honey?"

"Juice! P'eas??" Virgil said rocking in his seat "of course hun!"

Remus grabbed Roman a water bottle and filled up Virgil's sippy cup with juice "Roman catch!" Remus said throwing it to Roman, knowing he liked being able to catch it. Roman smiled when he caught it "I caught it dad!"

"Good job bud!" Remus said grabbing water for himself before handing Virgil his sippy cup. "Thankie papa!"

"Of course bud" Remus said, grabbing his plate before sitting at the table with them.

"I love you kiddos," Remus said, taking a bite of his food. "Love you too dad!" Roman said also eating some of his food "lovie papa!!" Virgil said carefully, eating some of his spaghetti.

Remus smiled fondly as he ate his spaghetti. "Papaaaaa!" Remus looked up "Virgillllll, what's up hon?"

"M doneeeeee!!" Virgil said, holding out his messy hands. Remus chuckled "okay kiddo, you need to wash your hands and face off before you can go play"

Virgil whined. Roman smirked and laughed a bit. "Oh, is the big bad teenager laughing? Does he want to shower first?" Roman pouted.

Remus smiled "okay kiddo, let's go get you washed off" Remus said picking Virgil up and carrying him over to the sink. "Okay wash your hands now bud"

Virgil giggled and started washing off his hands. Remus grabbed a wet paper towel and wiped off Virgil's face. Virgil whined and tried to turn away. "Uh uh, kiddo I need to wash off your face"

Virgil whined even more. Roman laughed from the table "why are you whining? Nothings wrong!"

"Roman be nice! He's just a baby you need to be nice" Virgil finished washing his hands and cuddled into Remus. Roman sighed "fineeee"

Remus smiled "okay Roman are you done eating?" Remus asked, picking Virgil up. "Yeah I'm done dad" Roman said, picking up the plates and carrying them to the sink.

"Alright bud, go get a shower then. It's almost bedtime" Roman whined "daaaad, I'm not a baby! I don't wanna go to bedddd"

"Not a baby you say? Roman go get a shower. You don't have to go to bed yet but you should go get ready" Remus said, bouncing Virgil in his arms gently.

"Fiiiine, I'll go get a quick shower" Roman said running off to get his shower.

"Okay Vee, baby, let's go pick out your pj's" Remus said carrying Virgil up to his room, walking over to Virgil's closet "what do you wanna wear baby?"

Virgil pointed at his Halloween pajamas. They were his favorite because they had pumpkins and bats and spider webs on them! And they were purple! His favorite color!

"Okay baby, let's go get you a nice bath then you can get all comfy in your jammies" Remus said carrying Virgil into his bathroom.

"Do you want bubbles hun?" Remus sat Virgil on the toilet lid and turned on the bath "Bubbles! Bubbles! Bubbles!!"

Remus laughed a bit "of course kiddo" Remus said adding some bubbles "okay honey time to get undressed and in the bath"

Virgil nodded and got undressed before getting into the bath. Remus smiled and sat a couple of Virgil's bath toys in the bath with him.

Virgil happily played with his toys while Remus washed him off. "Okay baby, we're all done! Do you wanna get out of the bath now?"

"Mhm! P'eas?? M wanna wear m jammies!!" Virgil said trying to get out of the bath "woah kiddo be careful" Remus said grabbing Virgil's towel

"Okay kiddo c'mere" Remus said, picking Virgil up and wrapping the boy in his towel. Virgil happily cuddled into Remus as he was carried back to his room.

"Do you need help getting dressed, baby boy?" Virgil nodded "m tink m smawwer papa"

"That's okay little spider. How old do you feel?" Remus said bouncing Virgil a little before laying him on his bed "m tink m 2!"

"Wow such a big boy! Does my big boy need a diaper? Or a pull-up?" Virgil whined and blushed at the question "diapee" He said softly, covering his face.

Remus chuckled and put Virgil in his diaper and jammies "okay kiddo, are you ready for bed?" Virgil nodded and grabbed his spider plushie.

"Do you want your paci hun?" Virgil opened his mouth in response. Remus smiled and stuck Virgil's paci into the boy's mouth.

Remus picked Virgil up "where do you wanna sleep baby? In here or with me?" Virgil cooed softly and cuddled into Remus.

"Okay baby, let's go see if your big brother wants to cuddle too" Remus said walking to Romans room. He knocked on the door "Roman? Are you in there?"

"Yeah! One sec!" Roman said before opening the door. "Do you need something dad?"

"Do you wanna come cuddle with me and your baby brother?" Remus said, bouncing Virgil. Virgil babbled softly at the mention of his name. "Uh sure! Can we watch a movie?"

"Sure kid, we'll be in my room," Remus said, carrying Virgil to his room. "What do you wanna watch baby boy?"

"Skelton" Virgil said softly "okay kiddo" Remus said turning on the Nightmare before Christmas.

Roman walked in and layed down next to them, yawning a bit. Remus smiled and turned off the lights and laid down with Virgil. Virgil yawned and curled up before falling asleep.

"Night night baby boy" Remus said softly. Roman curled into Remus. "Night night dad" He said before falling asleep. "Good night kiddo"

Retaking this survey I took nearly exactly a year ago, which would be around the time of one of the lowest points in my life. A lot has changed and I’m *so much* happier these days, but it doesn’t hurt to revisit and acknowledge the emotions I went through then.

Are you afraid of lifts? 2020: I only feel afraid if I’m the only person riding the elevator. If I ever got locked inside I’d always feel a lot better if there’s at least one other person stuck with me. Otherwise I try not to be too bothered by lifts. 2021: Yeah, as much as possible I would still only get in if someone else was also planning to get in; elevators that are also visibly old and unmaintained tend to scare me away, too. But generally, riding the elevator isn’t a phobia of mine.

Who did you last talk to in person? Is that person attractive? 2020: That would be my mom and yes, I think she’s very attractive. Not in that way of course, but you know what I mean. She looks very young for her age and we always get mistaken as sisters. 2021: My dad. Sure, I think he looks okay.

Have you ever had a deep, personal conversation with a stranger? 2020: As much as possible I don’t like having deep conversations with someone I barely know, but sometimes I can’t escape the situation and I end up being a part of those talks. The nicest conversation I had was with a client during my first internship – he has his own company now, but over breakfast he told me about his struggles, his old unfulfilling 9-5 job, and gave me so much valuable life advice. He was so genuine and so nice and at that time I stopped minding the fact that he was a stranger and I’d most likely never encounter him again. 2021: Ooh I remember that. Yeah, he was lovely to talk to and I definitely have not encountered anyone with stories like his ever since. Anyway, I’ve grown to be a lot more extroverted over the past year so I certainly wouldn’t mind a conversation with a stranger, as long as they haven’t established themselves as a creep or pervert.

On a scale of 1 to 10, how would you rate your own appearance? Why? 2020: Probably an 8. I don’t have a problem with my physical features for the most part, but I don’t like my front teeth and that my body hair is thicker and grows more quickly than average. Those are the two things that mess with my self-esteem the most, and the two factors that took out the missing two points. 2021: 9. I still have the same points for self-esteem issues; but I’ve embraced them slightly more over the last year.

Who was the last person to send you a message on Facebook? When was the last time you saw that person? 2020: Rita. I probably saw her sometime in early March. Maybe during a board meeting for our org before the lockdown was implemented. 2021: Angela. Sometime mid-July, I think? when we went to the BTS pop-up store together with Reena and Hans. I might see her again next week for her birthday. I have to see her reaction when she opens up the present I plan to get her.

If you decided, at this moment in time, that you were going to make a sandwich, what would you put on it? 2020: Assuming my hypothetical pantry is full, I would go for a southern-style chicken sandwich with chicken breast and spicy mayo. My stomach just rumbled, what have you doneeeeee 2021: Holy shit that sounds so fucking good right now. Can I just steal my own answer? Spicy crunchy chicken sandwiches are the shit.

Are you good at controlling your emotions, or do you tend to let them get the better of you? 2020: It’s 50/50 at best. Sometimes I let self-control win since it’s usually the most responsible choice and it’s also to avoid drama, but there are days where I recognize that self-care is just as important and so I allow myself a healthy release whether the release is one of sadness or resentment or anything else. Repressing my emotions and letting them bubble up over time isn’t healthy, either. 2021: I’m a lot better at it now. I think I have done a lot of growing and maturing and processing over the last year, and I don’t get into dramatic outbursts nor repress my feelings too much anymore. Whenever I feel deeply I let the emotions stay, but I also know when I need to reach out and seek help.

At this moment in time, what do you want the most? 2020: Normalcy. 2021: At this moment in time, I wish I could go back to when I took this survey and reassure the me then that everything was going to turn out absolutely fine. But right now I wish I also had sushi.

How many times have you cried over the person you love/like? 2020: Too many. 2021: I don’t love anyone in that sense.

How exactly are you feeling right now? Why do you feel the way you do? 2020: I haven’t been feeling anything in particular these days. To be honest, I’ve just been doing a lot of…floating around, existing, trying to make it to the end of the day unscathed. I believe I’m feeling this way because there’ve been a lot of major life changes happening and I simply wasn’t prepared to deal with all of them simultaneously. 2021: Jesus Christ that was brutal to read. How the fuck did I...manage? Anyway, right nooooow I feel quite content because a new episode of Run BTS came out and I really enjoyed it!! I also feel cozy because it’s actually quite cold tonight, so it’s making me feel sleepy faster than I would like lol. What’s the relationship status of the last person that put their arms around you? 2020: She’s been married for the last 23 years to my dad. 2021: He’s been married for the last 24 years to my mom.

Has the last person you held hands with, ever told you that they love you? 2020: Yeah. 2021: ^ Gross. But yeah to answer this question in 2021 – yes she has, in a platonic, sisterly way. We say it all the time.

Is there someone you used to hang out with all the time, and now you don’t anymore? If so, do you ever miss that person? Why do you think your relationship changed? 2020: Sure, Sofie’s the first person I thought of because we used to be the best of friends. We simply grew apart when college started, since she studied in Manila and I was all the way in another city. It would’ve been too difficult to keep up the friendship with both of us also starting to have different goals and priorities, as well as new friends. I miss her sometimes, but I’m not desperate to see her anytime soon. I’m sad to see our relationship fizzle out the way it did, but we’re both pretty happy and have been doing well and that’s enough for me. 2021: I stopped hanging out with Aya because she is an abusive piece of shit, and I obviously value my friendship with Jo far more than tolerating an abuser and keeping them around in my life. As for missing her, no, not really. I’ve always found it easy to cut people off and wipe out the positive sentiments I would use to have about a person.

Who was the last person you talked to, whose name started with ‘H’? What color are that person’s eyes? 2020: I don’t know a lot of H people so it was probably Hannah even though I haven’t talked to her in a while. Her eyes are dark brown/black, like nearly every Filipino. 2021: Hans. Same, dark brown/black.

Who was the last person you talked to, whose name started with ‘M’? How did you meet that person? 2020: OMG this was so tough to think about. The only person I can think of is Angela but that’s only because her first name is actually Maria. We met on the first day of 1st grade, back in 2005. I accidentally stabbed her with a newly-sharpened pencil and made her palm bleed, and for some insane reason a lifelong friendship was established that day. 2021: Macky. He’s a coworker but is a couple of positions above me. At first I took issue with my workplace not using honorifics, but when I learned it was a tactic to get everyone comfortable with one another, I soon got used to it.

The person you love/like is offered a job in another country. Would you let them go, or try and convince them to stay? 2020: Let them, because that was what we agreed on. 2021: No matter my feelings towards the situation, I would never interfere and ask them to stay.

Is there anyone you dislike so much, that you actually can’t stand to be around them? 2020: Back in college I hated being anywhere near a frat guy. They all had the same vibe, had the same fashion sense, used the same slang, had the same shitty work ethic so I always knew whenever one was nearby. 2021: One of my uncles, who I believe has COVID literally right now because he refused to get a vaccine. Can’t say I feel awful.

When was the last time you wanted to cry, but didn’t, because you didn’t want to show that you were upset? Why? 2020: I’ve been hiding my emotions and my tears from my family the whole month because we’re not a showy family when it comes to our feelings. We deal with our emotions privately, in our own bedrooms. 2021: Like two weeks ago when my teacher in my Korean classes shared a song recommendation with us and it turned out to be this really emotional, introspective song about dealing with life anxieties. It was beautifully sung and I nearly cried, and the only reason I didn’t was because I was in a virtual class full of strangers and I wasn’t about to start bawling my eyes out in such a situation lol.

If you found out that someone had been talking about you behind your back, would you confront them? 2020: I probably only would if they’ve always been super nice to me to my face but talking shit about me if I’m not around. It would be something I’d want to get into the bottom of. 2021: Depends on who the person is and if I think they’re worth my energy or not.

Which do you think is worse - saying something and then wishing you hadn’t, or not saying something and wishing you had? 2020: I hate nothing more than being too afraid to say something and then never having the space to say it again. That’s the type of regret that stays with me and keeps me up at night. 2021: I still go with the latter.

Do you know anyone who seems almost incapable of showing their emotions? 2020: I wouldn’t say I know anyone exactly like this, but I know of people who have built a great big wall around themselves and are super defensive when it comes to their emotions in a way that you’ll never know if they’re going through something. The first person I thought of was JM. 2021: My dad is extremely unexpressive. I guess I can say I kinda get it - he has to keep up his image as the father of the house and all - but I hope he has his own, healthy ways of processing his emotions, even if they have to be done in private.

What are 3 things that are guaranteed to make you smile, or put you in a good mood? 2020: Good Mythical Morning, seeing my orgmates, and driving. Driving seems to put me in a really good mood these days, though that’s likely because I haven’t had to do it as often as I used to. 2021: BTS, my dogs, and talking to Angela and Reena.

Do you look more like your mum or your dad? 2020: I’m a carbon copy of my mom, I’ve been told more times than I can count. 2021: Well yeah, that hasn’t changed.

When was the last time you saw your grandparents? 2020: I last saw my paternal grandparents in February; with my maternal grandma, two Thursdays ago. I have not seen my maternal grandpa since June or July 2015. 2021: Start of August for my maternal grandma; and I believe it was June when we most recently visited my dad’s parents. I visited my maternal grandpa at his columbarium slot during his birthday last year.

Have you ever felt really attracted to someone, but been deterred because you found out they didn’t have a very nice personality? 2020: No. If I get attracted to someone, that means I’ve already decided that they’re attractive on all fronts, including their attitudes and personality. 2021: ^ That is such a damn lie lmao. I remember getting attracted to this boy Lance from high school and thinking he was so cute and that I should probably try my chances with him...but I immediately got turned off when I noticed how he was slightly immature for his age and I stopped pursuing him immediately.

Have you ever hugged/kissed someone you’d only just met? 2020: Probably when I was out drinking, yes. 2021: ^ That’s true but that only goes for hugging.

Where is the person you would most like to see/be with? 2020: There is no such person. 2021: All my friends and best friends are at home. At least they should be at this hour, lmao.

When was the last time you bought a CD/DVD? Which one was it? 2020: The last CD I bought was Beyoncé’s self-titled album, but I can’t remember if I bought it in late 2013 or early 2014. 2021: ^ 2020-me had no idea :’) Anyway, the last DVD I placed an order for was Map of the Soul ON:E, though I’m not getting that until October. The last thing I was able to successfully receive was my Butter CD set.

Have you ever gone against someone’s advice and then regretted it? 2020: I don’t usually ask my friends for advice since I don’t want to possibly be the jerk that asks for advice but goes against them. I’ve always just gone with whatever I think is best for myself. 2021: I guess I’m still the same as I found myself agreeing to those two sentences.

Would you ever apologize for something that wasn’t your fault? 2020: Welcome to my life. 2021: Before, I used to. I won’t let shit like that pass now.

What’s been the best thing about your day so far? 2020: I’ve done a good share of self-care activities today…I actually got up in bed and have been taking surveys, I ate a lot for breakfast, I took a shower, and fixed myself a cup of coffee. The bar has been set very low since August obviously, but considering I’ve been skipping out on a great deal of activities that used to make me happy, I’m just glad I accomplished several today. It’s the little joys, guys. 2021: Getting good feedback from my boss on a deck I had to work on all day today. Also the new episode of Run BTS, aka my favorite thing about Tuesdays.

Has anyone ever cried in your arms before? 2020: I can only recall one person who’s done this. 2021: Sure.

Who was the last person you talked to, whose name started with ‘C’? Is that person older or younger than you? 2020: Tina, but her full name is Christina so she counts. I keep forgetting she’s a year older than me. 2021: Coco. Yeah, I believe so.

Do you keep a lot of things from your parents? 2020: Yes. They know my good side - my awards, achievements, job prospects, all the shiny stuff they can be proud of. They don’t need to know how mentally fucked their firstborn actually is, because it’s not like they’d know how to deal with all that weight. 2021: Yes.

Who was the last person you confided in? Do you regret it? 2020: Angela. Not at all. She’s been my rock for the last 15 years. 2021: Andi, and no. I trust them with my whole life and then some.

What was the last film you watched, that you hadn’t seen before? What kind of film was it? What did you think of it? 2020: I’m Thinking of Ending Things is a psychological thriller. It’s not for the faint of heart, especially those who’ve been feeling depressed and/or existential lately. It certainly didn’t make me feel good and I wish I could unwatch it, not because it was bad but because it was a bit too triggering. 2021: Be With You; it’s a Korean film that’s mostly romance but with a super super slight tinge of fantasy if you squint your eyes hard enough. I loved it a lot; both the leads are sooooooooo pretty to look at and the kid is a fantastic actor. I also cried a lot, but I do think the ending could’ve been executed better as it felt rushed.

Have you ever had an argument with the last person you hugged/kissed? 2020: Lots. 2021: Nothing more than extremely petty fights, the last of which we had approximately 12 years ago.

Using one word only, describe the day you’ve had so far. 2020: Lonely. 2021: Routine.
