maintaining/creating a social life⋆.ೃ࿔*:･🧁

ok so i used to have HORRIBLE social anxiety and i think that the contrast between me with social anxiety and me now is INSANE. in a good way ofc. so im not going to talk about how i overcame social anxiety, instead im going to talk about how i created a social life ✨

MAKING FRIENDS ;

the science of making friends is simple and im about to explain it. so go to where there are ppl that u can relate to/want to relate to. example being school, clubs, etc.

next, observe who u want to befriend and make sure to start with a compliment. starting off by introducing urself just makes for an awkward conversation but starting with a compliment puts u and the other party at ease.

something thats rly important is ur CHARISMA and ur magnetic energy so be CHARMING ✨ if u find that the other party is not reciprocating its either they're uncomfy, uninterested, or just a weirdo. and in all cases, you should stop.

MAKING FRIENDS THRU FRIENDS ;

make friends with your friends friends -> make friends with their friends -> and so on and so forth. this is how you network and create a friendly status with lots of people.

if ur in a school setting like i am, make friends with people in ur own grade or in a higher up grade, i dont usually make friends with ppl in lower grades but ofc there are always exceptions.

making friends through friends is how u get invited to parties, have more opportunities be available to you, and ofc network for more connections. guys connections are literally EVERYTHING.

MAKE TIME FOR UR FRIENDS ;

make sure to learn who u call friends. when is their birthday? do they have specific preferences? what kind of music do they listen to? knowing ur friends makes them feel special and thats how u learn to be a good friend. i can make a whole POST about being a good friend cuz i've learned and grown so much with that.

THE POWER OF A COMPLIMENT ;

make it ur mission to give a compliment everyday cuz first off, being nice is HOT so pls be nice and second of all, if ur trying to talk to someone and u start with a compliment i promise that it'll go so much better.

if ur thinking "thats so awkward how will i do that" then the category dont be shy is one that u gotta read cuz girl 💀. if u need an example i'll provide one from my own experience so u can see the power of a compliment.

there was this girl in my spanish class and i always thought that she was so pretty and she seemed so nice. one day we bump into each other in the bathroom and i compliment her hair and makeup, she responds well. we continue to have friendly interactions throughout the rest of the school year and now we are good friends on and off campus.

DONT BE SHY ;

when u make friends please please PLEASE work on ur confidence first. you need to be SURE of yourself. if not, when ur being friendly it could come off as desperation and ppl will humiliate, make fun of and take advantage of u. and thats NOT hot.

be CONFIDENT, you literally have nothing to lose. when u shed ur shyness (thru things like exposure therapy etc) a whole new world is opened up for u bcuz sometimes the only thing holding u back is urself and ur limiting beliefs about urself.

MAKE UR PERSONALITY SHINE ;

make sure that know ur own personality and from knowing that u can find ways in which u can make it shine. no matter what ur personality is though, something that i cannot stress enough is BE NICE.

be friendly and amicable with everyone and stay out of drama and if drama comes to you then stay unbothered 😭. dont try and uproot ur own personality to copy someone else's.

Kuroo Tetsuro being the type of guy who loves and appreciates all of his loved ones (especially you hehe) who try their hardest in all they do.

Kuroo Tetsuro who if you got a 60 on a test you studied really hard for would still be so fuckin proud of you bc he knew you did your best and that's honestly amazing

Kuroo Tetsuro who would be more than happy to help you study and learn all the ways he can best help you succeed (yk he in that college prep class for a reason, we love a nerd♥︎)

Kuroo Tetsuro who would encourage you to no end even when you feel like you can't take another trig question but would totally stop the studying in its tracks if you tell him "Tetsu, my brain cannot take anymore- I'm so tired" (it's nappy time, snacky time, huggy time or wtv time you want afterwards 🫶)

Kuroo Tetsuro who's probably like the smartest person you know, academically and otherwise, and knows that even if you may not be good in school, you're still so smart in other areas of life. He knows school isn't for everyone. (i.e Kenma bc Kenma is so intelligent with video games, strategies and tactics but sucks at history and science. Bokuto bc he gets 40s-70s in most of his classes but kicks ass whenever he comforts and motivates someone. Bokuto has such emotional intelligence for others except for himself <3)

Kuroo Tetsuro who whenever you tell him you feel stupid for not knowing/understanding something, he tells you, "Everyone I hold close to me are smart. Intelligence is something that's so hot so there's no way you're 'stupid' bc you're like, the hottest person ever."

Kuroo Tetsuro who if you still look at him after he says that like bro Im being serious rn will smile softly, hold your hand tight and gaze into your eyes softly and say, "What I mean is, you're not stupid. Everyone has strengths and weaknesses and basing your intelligence on academics isn't everything. You're worth more than some number on a paper."

Kuroo Tetsuro who doesn't care how "smart" or "dumb" you are in school bc he knows that everyone has their own intelligence and ofc he'd only date/befriend someone who's smart 💅✨

I was omw to sleep but I was imagining this headcannon( as one does yk) and I might forget tomorrow and that CANNOT happen.

So, yk how Reg always wears silver jewellery, from junky rings to dainty earrings, everything is silver or white gold (cuz the Blacks are nothing but extravagant ✨) anywho the only contrasting jewellery is his gold wedding ring. It obviously has Mon Soleil written on it.

And and and

James, being desi is all brown skin, and gold just makes him glow ✨✨✨✨✨ so he wears his small hold nose ring, and earrings and what not BUT obviously his silver jewellery piece is his wedding ring and it has Meri Jaan engraved on it, like duh.

BUT

(yeah ik loads of buts, but bear with me)

It's also like James's is the sun, so ofc his ring for reg is gold in colour cuz the sun is yellow/gold (if anyone and I mean anyone comes at me and like sun doesn't have any colour it's just reflecting and blah blah science, *narrows eyes *) and Reg is a star, and when they twinkle they seem white yes but also we can say that it's silver. And yeah so James wears Reg on his hand, not only by the engraving and the whole wedding band, but he is also wearing Reg's colour in literally sense plus silver being Reg's thing, just as Reg is doing with the gold band.

And I'm obsessed with these two idiots and this is too long but idk if anyone actually got me but ugh, so cute wanna SCREAMMMM

Aight bye

(also hi @moramystery ik you are going to read this post, I love you and I miss you bas :( even tho you don't ship these two)

The Seven Deadly Sins if they were in a zombie apocalypse

So this is an AU, so none of their normal powers and shit, JUST ZOMBIEESS!

Meliodas: He's a 29-year-old military officer. Oldest of the group and the leader. He has that PTSD from the war he served in. A survivalist, the only one who has like "experience" in situations similar to a zombie apocalypse. Kinda like the dad, keeping everyone in check.

Elizabeth: A 26 year old nurse. Of course the medic, always gotta bandage everyone up. Totally the mom of the group. Can't fight at all though so she needs protecting. Meliodas and her definitely met when the outbreak started then later the others joined.

Diane: She's a 24 year old dancer. The others were super surprised when she boxes a zombie right in the face. Meliodas saved her and she fell in love with him, later though she falls for King. Can't really do anything except fight. But she's always happy so it keeps everyone from going depresso expresso.

Ban: 27 year old theif (yes theif) He stole kings wallet the first time they met. He and king from that point on cannot stop arguing, they are literally a walking zombie alert. So the others shuts them up on a daily basis. Steals alot of supplies from random people (and King ofc) that the group meet. Tried to steal Merlin's shit once and let's just say it didn't end well. He's the chef and cooks all the food.

King: 28 year old Botanist. He's the only one who can actually grow crops. Ban and Melidodas once tried to spray "special plant growth" on Kings crops, turns out it was just poison and all the plants died. Since then no one gets to touch his crops. He can't fight for shit though.

Gowther: A 23 year old computer programmer. The group just kinda found him wandering on the street and took him in. 100% autistic ofc, but we all know that. Him and Merlin are besties (totally not projecting what I wanted to happen in canon) He helps her with all her science shit. Knows alot of weird random facts that he just starts rambling about. In the middle of a fight with zombies "did you know Australia is wider than the moon?" Cut to King almost dying. Can fight but doesn't cause he says his nails will get dirty ✨

Merlin: 25 year old chemist. (Wanted her to be younger than Elizabeth so they can have that sister bond) the group raided a super weird facility and found her just kinda chillin' with all her science shit. Everyone was suspicious of her at first but she's to helpful not to take with. Tries to make a cure or atleast a medicin against the zombies but it's really a cover to just dissect the zombies. Meliodas found her with a bunch of severed zombie limbs one time and now she's banned from experiments (won't stop her though)

Escanor: Was the last one to join. He's a 22 year old poet. Fell for Merlin as soon as he saw her. He's horrible at fighting. But he does help King with his crops, king says eacanor is the only one who can touch them. Likes to bake and when they find sugar he will make the best desserts. Will give his share to Merlin because he knows she loves sweets.

WIP Bingo Tag!

Phew big post today bc I kept procrastinating 😔

OKAY so the rules are to check each box that has a theme/trope that’s in your WIP! Then you make a bingo board with your own WIP’s themes!

———

I’ll do all three of mine, but you can pick one, no pressure!

here are @rhikasa and @fifis-corner ‘s boards, which I’m filling out for Interwoven:

idk if what I have planned counts as cosmic horror, and if enemies-to-friends-to-enemies-to-friends again-to-lovers counts…?

and as for suicide, it used to be a part of the story but I changed it, so I may re add it I’m not sure.

anyways.

@mundanemoongirl and @sableglass ‘s boards, which in filling out for A Golem’s Guide to Regaining Humanity:

hrm. Not a single bingo :( ah well I got close with both tho hehe.

and @cc-writes-stuff and @illarian-rambling ‘a boards, which I’m filling out for The Guiding Star!

half of this one was just me going: “hrm. yeah. hrm. yeahhhh.” rinse and repeat.

*Rivalry (not gay): I think you meant it in the rivals to lovers way? but who I though of were two characters that had a rivalry, both of them are gay, and they don’t fall in love. so? yeah.

*Secret Backstory: so secret I don’t even know them yet 💔😔

*Space Exploration! : basically space? kinda. some characters need oxygen masks to breathe. that spacey enough?

*Undead Protag(s): well the skelly crew is undead.

*Blue-Orange Morality: I looked this one up, and I’m not too sure atp.

Rival science lesbians: they’re lesbians. they’re rivals. and I suppose magic is a sort of science?

———

phew. Like I said, long post. BUT IT IS LONGER STILL; I need to make boards for you guys to do!

so I’ll make three, bc three wips, and you guys can pick. PLZ NOTE you don’t have to do all of them, nor do you have to make more than one board, I’m only doing it bc I Procrastinated 💔 and I feel bad so. Yeah. Take your pick!

✨tag game list!

@sableglass @dioles-writes @ash-thedrawer @allaboutmagic @paeliae-occasionally

@astor-and-the-endless-ink @vsnotresponding @nightlylaments

The board for AGGTRH:

and the one for TGS:

And as always: open tag!

I WOULD GIVE YOU MY LIFE AND SOUL IF YOU CONTINUE YOU LUFFY ONE SIDED LOVE IDEA FROM TWITTER. AH your pic of his heartbroken face tore my heart out 😭. Zoro telling Luffy that he's too clingy is just so good and sooooo painful.

Like, Luffy 100% has abandonment issues like he's so scared of people leaving him. (I.e. when Ace told him to shut up or stop crying he would do so immediately 😭). So ofc he's doing his best to listen to Zoro no matter how much it hurts, and it must've affirmed his fears/insecurities of getting in Zoro's way. Zoro watching Luffy drift away but he doesnt know what happened or what to do 😭. Maybe Luffy starts doing other things like apologizing when zoro saves him and stops knocking into him. Also jealous zoro in this scenario??? Anyways thanks for reading my ramblings we need more luffy angst!!

✨Kira kira yoho!✨

Hello!

I'm glad it is to your liking!

I want to resume it too! Sadly, I cannot formulate any other scenarios properly that would not make the story cringe. All I have in my mind that is set and fixed for the plot/idea is that Luffy experiences romantic heart break for the first time, that it ruins him bit by bit. Yknow how those science thingies say heartbreak can cause death? Basically Luffy experiences that ( of course it doesnt kill him, just, ruins him so terribly ) He tries to go to other crew mates for the usual hugs but it was not the same like it was with Zoro. Even their fighting gets affected and Luffy becomes more and more reckless, and he's not even aware. Zoro also is just in denial of liking his captain, more like he is UNAWARE that he LOVES Luffy romantically, but seeing Luffy spiral down, he starts to realize. So that's the basic parts of idea I have, I just want really delicious heart wrenching angst. Am I odd for loving angst?

(o′┏▽┓｀o)

Luckily! There is a fic that wrote and expressed the one sided love angst idea i had much better, that i found, Although it is modern AU!!!

On to the next line of the ask, yes! Luffy very much have abandonment issues, I have rambled about that here !

Luffy drifting away and spiraling down and Zoro so clueless and feeling helpless as to whats happening to Luffy. He cares so much for Luffy but he's so in denial of his own feelings and unaware of Luffy's love for him, misunderstanding and miscommunication is always a delicious ingredient for angst.

Thank you for rambling with me! Feel free to share more rambles! 💖

✨Have a sparkling day!✨

★ matchup exchange with @akirqx <3

♡ kuroo tetsuro is your match!

★ first of all, let's state the obvious

★ he treats your cats like royalty ✨ buying them food, treats, toys, anything he can think of

★ and he definitely wants to have more kitties with you in the future :P maybe 6? 8? 12?-

★ guess who loves science too hehe (this wasn't the main reason i paired you with him i promise)

★ teases you A LOT

★ the main reason is ofc your height difference and he will always call you shortie

★ but then one time lev was like 'well i'm even taller so the height difference between us is even bigger!'

★ and kuroo for a little while considered throwing him out of the team

★ also this man sucks at badminton for some reason, i'm sure

★ but he'll like to learn to get better, and he'll love to teach you volleyball!

kuroo walked into the room silently, observing you with curiosity. "hey..." he started gently. "can i come in?"

you looked towards him and smiled. "of course."

he walked to the desk you were sitting by, a mug in his hand. "i brought you some coffee." he placed the mug on the desk and kissed your forehead.

"aww thank you." you said with a soft smile, but he couldn't help but notice how you covered the piece of paper in front of you with your arms as soon as he walked closer.

a small frown formed on his face. "what are you doing?"

"nothing" you said quickly, giving him a little forced smile. kuroo narrowed his eyes. "liar. show me"

"no!" you took the paper sheet and held it in your arms. "go away." you mumbled with a pout.

kuroo sighed with a hint of frustration. "oh c'monn, you were drawing? i want to see!!"

you let out a huff and turned your back on him.

"pretty please?" he said, walking around your chair to face you again, showing his iconic puppy eyes.

"no." you looked into his eyes with a little smile, he was just so adorable.

taking advantage of it, kuroo quickly leaned in and took the paper from you.

"hey! give it back!" you said, but it was already too late.

"it's us... on our first date!" he said with a cute smile as he looked at the drawing. "oh, this is so sweet!"

you crossed your arms. "i was about to give it to you on our anniversary as a surprise!"

an apologectic smile crept up on his face. "uhm... i can pretend i didn't see it...?"

"too late!"

i also considered oikawa for you, but then thought kuroo will be better:3 hope you like it!!

rui kamishiro, the alchemist - an extremely jumbled overanalysis

⚠️ LONG POST AHEAD ⚠️

hello rui fanclub. instead of doing schoolwork i think about rui as the alchemist. what’s new with me i know.

but why is he an alchemist specifically?

because if you look at it simply, rui’s jobs in the shows could also garner the title of ‘mechanic’. where you take a lot of metal and make it into something functional, or fix it so it works again. fundamentally that’s what he does right? with all the robots and staging ideas? and to some extent he could also be a ‘poet’ or ‘philosopher’ because we know he and tsukasa write the shows (during the pxl arc anyway) and he’s constantly coming up with new show ideas. there’s stuff like ‘magician’ or ‘wizard’, which could also be used to describe how he does things with such ease — and we’re not even going to mention ‘genius’ or ‘whiz kid’, okay?

so with all of that said, rui haters /j can essentially say that rui’s title of ‘alchemist’ is just him trying to sound a little cooler — and to some extent they might be correct. like have you seen this man

but let’s get to the nitty gritty of today’s wall of text, because there’s no way sega would call him an alchemist and not know what that entails. putting on my swirly nerd glasses.

✨alchemy✨ according to the merriam-webster kids definition is as follows:

“a medieval chemical science with the goals of changing less valuable metals into gold, discovering a single cure for all diseases, and discovering how to live forever”

and is commonly cited by most articles i read on the topic to have been a mixing of science and magic, having been the predecessor of modern chemistry. that part sounds like rui, doesn’t it?

and honestly, that alone should be enough to stop me from yapping, BUT WE NEED TO HIT THE BOTTOM. HAND ME MY SHOVEL I’M GOING IN /lyr

by the way!! i am completely aware of the more metaphorical meaning of alchemy where it’s essentially synonymous with magic, e.g. “he performed his alchemy o’er the pot and the water became soup”. but since wxs are often cited as the guys with the whimsical references to olden times (gestures wildly at revival my dream) i have no reason NOT to analyse him from the philosophical perspective.

so basically the alchemist has three main goals as we said before and just for my sanity (and my english teacher’s approval even though she’s not ever going to look at this) i’ll use them to organise my thoughts.

⚠️ DISCLAIMER: this post is not properly structured or organised and may be hard to understand. if you need any clarification on anything i say here please let me know! and ofc feel free to add your own ideas! also this is not too serious or in-depth ⚠️

websites used for research have been linked in underlined words :D (ex. wikipedia)

the transmutation of metals a.k.a. turning ‘lesser’ metals into gold

this one is pretty straightforward. rui is somewhat of a metal manipulator by making his robots, and while he doesn’t turn them into gold literally he DOES make them more valuable by giving them something better — life.

now obviously your life is more valuable than gold — although capitalism says otherwise! /j

also, as wxs’ alchemist specifically, rui’s job is to take them as they are — let’s say, their base forms — and make them shine through his directing, thus making them into something brighter, like gold! (addition for all the ruikasers in chat: gold shares its alchemical symbol with the sun and the sun is a star and guess who’s a star COUGH)

something else interesting though: according to the royal society of chemistry:

“To the medieval alchemist's mind the different elements were but the same original substance in varying degrees of purity. Gold was the purest of all and silver followed closely.”

it kinda gives a bit of weight to rui’s character and (just because i have to revise it for school) his relation to the general human experience in a way. we know that rui’s been outcasted for most of his life because of his interest in shows — but at his core he is still human, just like everyone else. i keep thinking about that line from rmd whenever i think about rui and the human experience, where little rui says “i am me, people are people”. it’s not wrong per se — but he’s just as human as everyone else, is he not? that’s why his story (especially pandemonium) hits so hard imo. it also then makes sense why rui treats his robots as his “little darlings” and gives the plants so much care, because all the world is made of the same stuff — according to the alchemist, at least.

…sorry that was me extrapolating. MOVING ON

finding a single cure for all diseases

now we get into the stretchy parts of this analysis.

getting rid of all diseases would theoretically better the entire world, at least in a medical point of view. now what does rui use all of his fancy robots for? as a catalyst for making people smile with his shows, of course! as we all know, laughter is the best medicine, and a smile can brighten someone’s day (so they say).

and furthermore, all of rui’s little exploits, and generally just his character overall, work for the good of others. i don’t know if i’m using this term correctly but i feel that he’s sort of a chaotic good person: working for what is good and just, even if it goes against authority. i mean, we see this right from the start of the game’s story — making nenerobo so nene can continue pursuing her dreams; the mall area conversation where he makes a balloon stegosaurus when the employee isn’t looking, claiming that it’ll be a much better present for the lucky kid who receives it; doing his robot shows in public even if the police chase him and nobody stops by to watch it all anyway, perhaps in the hopes that just one person will be even lightly amused by his antics. even when he intended to work alone, he sought to better other people’s lives, even if they didn’t appreciate him for it. (which ofc makes me so sad)

finding the elixir of immortality

now this one i initially struggled to get a good argument for because there’s a lot of things you can talk about here. the immortalisation of an individual is one of them — in making a show or story you essentially make a permanent memoir of the ideas you had for it, or the world at the time in which you wrote it, and i suppose in the case of the wonder stage immortalising the memory of a person in keeping grandpa otori’s stage alive.

but then it hit me.

rui wants to immortalise a *moment,* not necessarily one person. the time he has with wxs. which we are all aware that they are running out of.

this isn’t that clear in the early story because he’s not as attached to them yet — which i suppose leaves a hole in my argument since he’s used the title since before the main story. but maybe he only gained this goal in its full extent after joining wxs. curtain call and our happy ending make it very clear that rui wants to be with wxs, ideally, forever. and let’s not even MENTION the fact that they worked in phoenix wonderland which is supposed to be an immortal bird!!

i suppose at its core the idea of immortalisation is to spend time with the immortal individual forever, so that they can continue to have all the wonderful moments of life. everyone fears death to some extent, after all. so therefore: rui’s current alchemic quest, alongside/after the wxs training arc, would be to find that elixir for wxs and somehow find a way to make shows with them forever… even though realising that he *needs* to let go is probably going to be the most groundbreaking part of his character progression.

rui’s philosopher’s stone (not the harry potter book)

you might be wondering why i’ve titled this section this way but i promise i’ve got a point

so the philosopher’s stone is basically related to all three of the alchemist’s goals in some form. apparently if you put it in the ground it produces metals faster? (because apparently they thought it just grew like that. you DO get stones from the ground so i guess that checks out. AND THAT’S WHY RUI IS A GEOLOGIST IN THE KIRAPIKA SET.) i think i saw an image with its symbol that called it the ‘end of all ends’. so it’s kind of a miracle object in the sense that, once discovered or created, will instantly fulfil the aims of alchemy.

now obviously being in the modern age, rui isn’t looking for something that can solve all the world’s issues forever, because that’s proven impossible. but maybe there’s something that can do the next best thing — and for rui, that’s doing shows. it might sound silly (and i’ll come back to that in a bit) but rui knows how wonderful shows can be, how they make people smile and forget their ailments for just a small moment — they don’t get rid of them, of course, but they offer the next best thing he can give. that fateful little mermaid show gave him a purpose in life, basically, something he could work towards that could affect people in ways that a robot on its own simply couldn’t.

and i suppose, in that sense, all of wxs are alchemists, too…? well, if we apply this to some sort of medieval fantasy game, they’d be in his party and help him out, right?

the alchemist as an outcasted figure

so basically from most of the stuff i read, alchemy was generally frowned upon (and even outlawed in england) due to being associated with fraud, with con artists of the time utilising the transmutation thing for their own personal gain, and just generally looking for something impossible. i think in some way this could be connected to rui being ostracized by his peers because of his ideas — he’s not a fraud, but the actual alchemists of the time tended to receive the same reputation as the con artists. and i imagine the alchemical experiments were pretty dangerous back in those times, so there’s that whole thing with people not trusting rui’s ideas to be safe and practical.

bonus related discussion: do you think maybe people were envious of rui’s ‘genius brain’ and wished he would use it for something other than shows… like scientific endeavours? idk this is just a half formed thought i had after writing this particular section. in the same way that alchemy started to become an old practice, did rui’s love for theatre and whimsy grow to be seen as farfetched at any point? maybe in that mysterious elite high school— okay that one is just me grasping at straws. but it makes you think, right?

main conclusion

the role of alchemist really fits rui to a tee, right down to the context of the times. and i’m karamell, chairwoman of the rui fanclub. and there are literally so many things that sega could play with in regards to card symbolism (COUGH the alchemic symbols COUGH COUGH) that i secretly hope to see in the future!

(and now you, dearest reader, have some completely impractical information about a bunch of pixels under your belt. read and flourish!)

bonus: planetary references

in ancient alchemic writings the planetary symbols were actually used for alchemy as well, as in they were used to identify some of the main metals. as such most of the metals are associated with the solar system as well, notably gold with the sun, silver with the moon, and mercury with, well, mercury.

now… what is rui’s colorfes card themed around?

that’s right: SPACE.

now this could be entirely coincidental bc its implied in the story that his colorfes sekai was based on one of his favourite sci-fi books (show? movie? i’m a fake rui fan what text type was Trip to the Moon) but sega likes their extended metaphors and symbolism.

so anyway that’s the REAL end of the post. that will be all. no, i didn’t need to write all of that, but i did because isn’t that what my training is for?

Heyyyy :33

I hope you all are doing okay. I don’t know how I am feeling like right now. Some days are good some are horrible. Tbh I am sick of this. Why can’t I feel better???? Recently, I am going to therapy. I like my therapist tbh. She is really nice and I like talking to her. It’s just hard to think about the past and how I felt the last 4/5 years. Idk. I hope it will be better soon, because right now I feel even worse.

Anyway, I wanted this post to be kind of an update about things. I try to keep it short but I can’t promise it. I don’t even know if you guys actually care. I don’t mean this in a bad way. It’s just I feel like there are way more important topics then this. But I know you guys are all so cute and awesome on this platform and I am sooo happy that I can literally tell you guys everything.

Okay…, there are a lot of things new in my life (just three or something ToT)

What is new in my life:

1. This is a quiet important thing. I told you guys about my ✨special person✨, right??? This person is actually my girlfriend. I couldn’t tell you before, because my besties are using tumblr their self’s so I had to keep it a secret until my gf I told them. Maybe it was obvious for some of you because of all the questioning got. So yeah…. I have a gf. She is amazing. I mean ofc we have our downs too but we try to fix it together. I never really believed in soulmates but I can definitely say I do now. We are literally soulmates!!

2. The therapy. I mean I told you about it before but I want to add something. Let me say my childhood was kind of different. And mostly because of my ,,mother” I have to deal with a lot of things lately. But I want to keep going (ig) and I want to except help.

3. I am going to a different school next year and I am sooo excited!! This school is more about science (i love science!! Especially chemistry and biology) I don’t like my old school +the most teachers were really mean to me when I was sick in December. They didn’t really get my illness. It was just stressful in that time. Anyway in my new school I will learn more about the things I am actually interested in and the school has labs and there are sooo niceeeee!!!

I think that was all. Sorry for the long post. Thanks if you were reading the whole thing. I am thankful for you all. You guys deserve the world and if you need someone to cheer you up- I am here for you! Always!

Love, nelly x
