A letter to V

To whoever this message concerns.

Lately I have been given this task of messaging someone named V, name starting with V, if you know any V, or somebody else who's drawn to this message, then this read will be for you.

The words in double quotations are channeled messages. They are words trying to seep in and come through. Hope you understand.

This seems like a "Develop your confidence read"

This is the playlist, you can add your inspiration to if you want. "Your very own playlist."

"I shouldn't have fallen in love Look what it made me become I let you get too close just to wake up alone And I know you think you can run You're scared to believe I'm the one But I just can't let you go"

2 of swords, the letter v and nothing else. Its a no, look its a calm no, calm down and let it profess to you its popo (kiss of life), if it's love is too short, its meant for that moment itself,that time, letter g,b, "its meant to be mine" yes but only for a short term of time, not forever, cause love changes like swaying tides in ocean waves. You need to learn to let it go

LET IT ALL GO ,

"Bigi, Gibi, " GI and BI are significant words for you. I changed the font style to "chat" conversation. You are being asked to say hi. Fear is scaring you away from them/him (ill love you) What Excited you in him? Do you Love him? Did you even know, you tried talking with him?

The guy who reminds you of your childhood bully, this is him. Should be him. This guy who reminds of him excites you in life.

Grammatical mistakes, Grammarly errors and gnarly big fights

Someone's soul family is watching them leave. Their dead souls are wishing them well. "GNARLY FIGHTS BIG FIGHTS,V";Use of black magic, evil eye or nazar on somebody else's life.Tinkerbell, scorching sun, heat, 300°C, microwave it or "them". "Kids love them"

"Gas you up, bring me motivation"

Queen of swords is a no ⚔️. "No they fell in love "

"Idolized, maybe this is talking to me, it is talking about the labeling the energies in the same conundrum as festivities/festivals."

"You don't need a partner"

Let "You" Go.

You are holding back your mind.

Ok so this is a calm no to some sort of resurgence which can come off as fully shock to you. "You divide the cattle" Something about this reminds me of Jesus and the shepherd, I feel like God Is to divide you guys into peace and harmony for a while. This seems like a No , like someone's so close to their dreams when God decides to pull it away. Your resilience and determination is being checked. Iam feeling a presence of a warm spirit behind my back. I personally don't like it, but it somehow symbolises penance to me. You hate it, but you can't move this penance away either. Don't give up and keep moving forward, that's the message for you. I guess your wishes are not meant to be granted through a certified method or a linear path, you need to plan the other path. Its like the traditional 9-4 won't give you the independence and alone time you need.

That's why change of plans is required for you. You will be changing directions to a completely different path, different "company" altogether. You will be going somewhere else. All in all be gentle with yourself. You may not want to let go of all your possessions, privileges and expenses. But emotionally you are letting go of your independence. The traditional path could be keeping you stagnant and stuck. But with the Wheel Of Fortune, a huge turn of events is taking place, things are moving, despite the money you owe people that couldn't show up for, and silent independence you "v" have gained over time. The wheel is turning in your favour as the the world in reverse is incomplete. "V" the cycle hasn't ended yet, you have survived by an acorn, the cycle of hardship hasn't ended yet. You are yet to have your share of it. You might have been in this lying energy, trying to deceive yourself despite of lucky position, letter "z" "director". You might have been lucky but luck isn't standing there with you. "Concubine" if this is a situation of third party and you were interrupting someone's relationship. You were being stopped, I heard "stomped by them", anyway emotionally after letting go of this dependency, you might still be able to make it to stars, heal yourself and manifest a better you

If you are wallowing about having to leave someone you love who was committed to someone else, either than person has committed to doing sin and tou are unknowingly committing to it as well. Take proper care of yourself. And go shower with hot water. Sleep well. Take enough time to yourself.

I understand that truth is heartbreaking but that's the only remedy to you right now. Sometimes medicine hurts. Truth is one of those medicines. "v" instead of acting like all this is normal, let's just face it, "bbl injection" all of this splurging on , "metal head" all these injections and rock music to make yourself feel better, we are rather turning into pigs

Just spending spending all that money that goes ching ching ching, I know, you know, we both are doing great disservice to ourselves. Then why splurge so much more, you don't need to be a son of a monk to understand that. Its obvious, you are splurging to keep away truth from coming in, "letting someone named letter b do as they please"

You are either splurging a lot on people or on yourself. Do as you please, for sure no worries. You know you have subscribed to the mental illness of stagnancy in life cause you are unable to move and think differently and change your own perspective for the better. So change your course in time its for the better. Someone most likely doesn't wants this message to get to you. Cause trust me, time has brought you this message for a reason. A time in your life to reflect back on your inheritance, savings and possessions for a reason. "Get back, get back to your studies" there's this nut case tryna talk to you, they maybe bad people but if you keep leaving them truth to attack you by keeping yourself in deception, how will you ever prove yourself and them wrong. This all starts with you. This persona could be a nutcase in your mind. This is someone whom you don't know properly yet, yet their words have a huge yet heavy grasp on your mind

Its as if you have become rapt in their words, something about this person has made you believe in loving whatever you never wanted to be in your life. Its as if "he" made a dream come true of a person you never thought you could be but now that you know you can be that type of person as well, just take the positives of it, like taking the risk, going all in for it, knowing that you can actually be a femme fatale yourself but is this what you actually aspire to be. Do you want to be this kind of person? Yes you never wanted to be this kind of person. And yes you may feel the itch to be the very person you told yourself not to be, but then whom are you deceiving in reality? It's really yourself. Just think about it. Control yourself, listen to your soul. Your heart is calling you, your conscience is telling you the truth cause that is where it thrives. "BLB" There's someone named V or starting with the letter H, giving you the hint. Get away from there. Create a barrier across your soul, there's something about someone's soul being stolen. Be careful, of stolen souls. Someone here steals people's soul energy through sexual advances.

Fight back your instincts no matter how wild these instincts are. No matter how ingenious you think you are. Wrong actions have bad consequences, and they come in the sleaziest. The control is in your hands.

Don't lose control of yourself. Control yourself, take control, be you, you will make it. You need to accept the heartbreaking truth that you aren't monetarily independent alone and need money from family. You could be third class families (no offence) but your own moodiness towards starting something new and taking it seriously is what's attacking your finances. You need to stay away from "BPL", players, fuckboys, and mainly gold diggers who could be with a mindset of below poverty line where they are always in an energy, trying to take something from other people without trying to create something of their own. This is the truth you need to face, you cannot afford to lose your stability over this "grindr" mindset. "Kavya" someone's name could be Kavya, Kalyan. Despite the betrayal there's goodness after every bad thing ends. Emotionally nurture yourself let the worse happen and expire on its own. You can make it, just keep on moving in the right direction despite having to give up and accept a loss in terms of something. Take the right direction towards your dreams, peace, and solace. If you wish to be an "actor" or "star" or a ("mother lover" ) idk what i just channeled. You can be exactly that independent honest and resourceful King of Pentacles, only if you desire to be one. So if you are up for it

Fight for it till the end. You have got the whole universe pushing you from behind towards your dreams. "Hellga and Beth" "Here you are" Whoever it is, you have got it, right on your doorstep or under your feet. Someone could be moving home next to you.

Offering - Are you ready to sacrifice it? The very thing you are so attached to. Cause when you die, you take nothing with you from this world. Would you offer him your secrets? The knowledge you own will be lost. The secret you know will leave you alone. But are you ready to sacrifice it all in the name of God to the Heavenly and Divine. Let this rest with him in peace. Ask for redemption. Change yourself. This is the ultimate sacrifice the divine asks. To give yourself up in your purpose not in the name of manifesting "Kaya or Kavya". But to invest in the worship of Lord. Idk why but I was channeling this energy and I want to clarify what I see.

Your God wants you to achieve your highest self, your dreams and desires, and he will ask you to offer away your attachments to him. Hence get away with distraction and live a free life in commitment to your purpose. I ain't asking you to go to temple or place of worship daily. Just pray, pray to the nature, the divine, this universe. Let life happen as you learn to sacrifice away all that is unimportant for the universe to keep. Go back to your religion and its basic teachings. For some of you, this new age spirituality could be confusing you. Reignite your spark back, or your faith back.

You are being asked to fill your void in your faith through your religious beliefs. Just the creator's energy come through, as the Creator brings this energy in your way, you could be in a state of mind where you are not able to accept the hard and long journey, it could almost feel deadening like as your energy has been drained of your body. But is it really the case? Look around you buddy, you got everything, all the resources around you. You could be so attached to the pleasantness of the Oasis, you could have been so done with the journey you travelled through the desert to reach this comfortable zone, seems like you know what it is that you need to be scared of. But can you conquer those fears. Challenge them my love. You are up for it. If this fear is what's haunting you from going ahead in life.

The "me" in the next channeled messages are the intense desire of something your heart has always longed for.

Then you know everything you need to know about it. Go ahead now cause fear only happens of the unknown, but now you know. You could be so done and tired of death coming at your face again and again. So what its tiring, isn't it, this failures repeating, and now these failures are what's haunting you. These repeated failurez. Then what? What will happen? Whatever is meant to be, will happen, once again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again. So what? Will you accept this? Will accept this my love ? From towards your desires. Tell me what's there to stop you really ? What is there to stop your desires my love? Won't you stop going towards "me" even if you desire to stop? What will stop you? You can about achieving it by taking it by whatever means by which its possible by you. This is the world my baby, some of us are driven by lust, by desire by love, so what will you do? Let this desire grab all of you. Let it take you, take it away from you, take it away from your desires from your love cause it is all that you desire, all that you want evermore. What will you do, when this desire takes you away from the touch the touch that same touch that longed you away for so long, what will you do my lord, my love, what will you touch then? Wouldn't you want to touch "me" again. Wouldn't you want to? I literally imagined touching a lizard person, the question was wouldn't you touch him "the lizard" even if he was your soul partner. What would the answer be then. Wouldn't it be home? Wanting to go home despite being in here, and that's what it feels like, the real place where you belong is where your heart leads you to. Your soul resides in it and prays. And He's there, that pain in your soul crushing you when he crumbles is the exact reason why you are here with him.

This is an intense desire in your soul, a soul desire to meet someone, to be with someone, to see someone, for something really big in your life. This is like the desire to do Something in this Lifetime, maybe achieving your Prannath. Are you sure this is a temptation, or something you always desired? What is it? Go shameless and ask this for yourself. You need to confront the love you have for whatever this is. Maybe you don't realise how much of a desire this is. Is this just temptation? If not pursue this faceless feeling if your soul recognises this as your pursuit.

Don't do something wrong. And taint this. Let your heart guide you. Please my love. Think consciously, don't give in to the small itch. That itch isn't your calling towards your meant to be. Its a itch. Its a itch you feel, called temptation, distraction. Your materialism and attachments to materialistic things or spiritual attachment. Your spiritualism, faith, divine-ism isn't defined by some idols or figures. They don't define you or your values or your spiritualism. So go over and ask for some divine guidance and spiritual light upon you. May God bless you

The best surf spots in the world

It is believed that the inhabitants of Hawaii were the first to ride the waves using a special board back in the 4th century AD. Nowadays, surfing has turned from an ordinary sport into a real philosophy. It allows you to feel unity with the vast ocean, believe in yourself and get out of your comfort zone. The best places for surfing are extremely popular - there are ratings of countries and beaches around the world that every rider in love with the sea should visit. After all, a dizzying flight on the crest of a wave is one of the few ways to experience an incomparable feeling of freedom.

Ocean Beach, San Francisco, USA

Best time to visit: March-August The West Coast of the United States is famous for its excellent waves, and some beaches, such as Ocean Beach, are ranked among the best surf spots in the world. San Francisco is surrounded by water, and athletes have plenty to choose from. Constant waves and a huge variety of breaks allow everyone to ride, regardless of their level. And in this list, Ocean Beach definitely takes an honorable first place in extreme sports and beauty. Here, giant walls and pipes force you to strain all your strength to stay on the board, and the picturesque panorama of the ocean expanses with the majestic Golden Gate Bridge rising above the water makes you freeze with delight in the pauses between waves.

Jeffreys Bay, South Africa

Best time to visit: May-August J-Bay's epic waves have long been a legend among professional surfers. There are very few places in the world where you can find a pipeline like this, which is a real wall of water reaching 2-3 meters in height. The season here lasts almost all year round, and the epic marine views combined with a pleasant climate and friendly atmosphere make Jeffreys Bay and its famous Supertubes one of the best surf spots in the world.

Popoyo, Nicaragua

Best time to visit: December-April Popoyo is a very popular surfing spot among professionals. A beginner just starting to master the board will have a hard time - hurricane winds on the coast create powerful waves, and the incredibly strong Pacific current can pose a threat to life. However, Popoyo has a relatively calm bay suitable for beginners. Here you can not only learn the basics of surfing, but also ride a horse along uncrowded beaches, relax in a cafe on the shore, admiring the incredibly beautiful ocean landscape against the backdrop of harsh rocks.

Mentawai Islands, Indonesia

Best time to visit: April-October The Mentawai archipelago has 70 islands, and many of them have great surfing spots. Legendary surf breaks for masters can be found on Pagi, Siparo and Siberut - such famous spots as Bankvaults and Macaronis. Beginners will enjoy the calm beaches on the island of Sumbawa, where there are practically no big waves. The Mentawai Islands are not only one of the best surf spots in the world, but also vibrant resorts that rival the beauty of picturesque Bali or vibrant Sumatra. Surfers, lovers of diving, snorkeling and relaxing holidays among enchanting tropical nature come here.

Nazare, Portugal

Best time to visit: October-March The giant waves of Nazaré became legendary after Hawaiian rider Garrett McNamara managed to overcome a wave here that was almost 24 meters high. As a result, Praia do Norte beach has become considered one of the best surfing spots in the world - now the WSL Big Wave Contest is held here every year. Riding in Nazar is recommended only for experienced athletes. And if in the summer even beginners can test their skills, in the winter only real professionals can cope with the biggest waves on the planet.

Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia (Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia)

Best time to visit: December-February The magnificent beaches of the Gold Coast became famous back in the 60s of the last century. The coast's unique waves, which create ideal surfing tubes and walls, began to attract athletes and enthusiasts from all over the world here after the release of the film "Eternal Summer", which became a cult favorite in their community. Most surfers visiting the Gold Coast choose to stay in the Gold Coast, which has become one of Australia's premier destinations due to its excellent conditions for a variety of water sports. The total length of the Gold Coast is about 70 km. There are a lot of difficult areas here, so loved by professionals, and beginners can easily find beaches with relatively small waves. You can ride on the Gold Coast all year round, but experienced athletes prefer to come here during the winter months, when the ocean is especially choppy.

Skeleton Bay, Namibia

Best time to visit: December-April The cold and windy coast of Skeleton Bay is a real test for professionals. Powerful surf that does not allow you to calmly enter the water, sharp gusts of wind and huge waves will bring a lot of joy to experienced surfers who love to fight the elements and achieve victory at any cost. In addition, riding here is quite dangerous due to the sharks that regularly visit the bay. But despite all the difficulties, Skeleton Bay is popular among professionals who love adrenaline. The wave length in the bay can reach 2 km - this place is considered the longest left-hand surf break in the world. An experienced rider is able to ride 6 pipes in a row on one such wave thanks to the incredibly strong current. Due to difficult weather conditions, skiing in Skeleton Bay requires a wetsuit and, from May to November, boots.

Oahu, Hawaii

Best time to visit: November-February The north coast of Oahu is a paradise for surfers who come to Hawaii in search of thrills. It is not surprising that this sport originated here - the huge waves are simply ideal for riding a board. On the list of the best beaches in the world for surfing, Banzai Pipeline and Backdoor Surf are at the top positions. Not everyone takes the risk of skiing here - since ancient times, only true masters have dared to conquer the pipes and walls of the Banzai Pipeline. And now, despite sophisticated technology and modern equipment, the exceptionally heavy ten-meter backdoors of Banzai Pipeline make even world surfing champions nervous. Of the 36 unique surf breaks on Oahu's North Shore, dubbed the "Seven Mile Wonder", this stretch definitely deserves the title of the best surf spot in the world. With plenty of reef flats, the North Coast provides some more great surfing opportunities, including Turtle Bay and Waimea Bay, known for their powerful waves. For beginners, the best option would be to head to the beaches of Waikiki. Unlike most surf breaks on Oahu's North Shore, the ocean here is much calmer.

Byron Bay, New South Wales, Australia

Best time to visit: June-August Cozy Byron Bay is about 70 kilometers of clean sand and powerful waves that do not subside for 12 months. The beaches of the bay are perfect for surfers of any level - both professionals and those who are just starting to learn the basics come here. Beginners should choose beaches patrolled by lifeguards for skiing - strong waves and emerging currents can pose a danger. In addition, you must pay attention to notifications from the coast service - blue jellyfish and great white sharks often swim into the bay. Despite the presence of protective nets, they can reach the coastline.

Teahupoo, Tahiti

Best time to visit: November-April Tahiti is known for its resorts, but the southern coast of the island is most popular among athletes. Teahupu is one of the best places in the world for surfing, despite the fact that the coastline is practically undeveloped and its wild beaches can only be reached by boat. If you don't want to live in a tent, you can stay at one of the surf campsites - for example, Tahiti Beachcomber or Papara Beach Campsite. Giant waves up to 30 meters high are ideal for surfing. Beginners will have a hard time here due to the shallow water - the walls often break, which means staying on the climb and reaching the ridge will be a very difficult task. Despite this, Teahupoo is popular with beginners in June - August, when the winds die down and the waves become smaller, providing an opportunity to learn basic surfing skills.

Uluwatu, Bali, Indonesia

Best time to visit: April-October Uluwatu beaches are considered the best surfing spot in Bali, but they are not suitable for beginners. Not very large, but powerful and complex waves in this region force even experienced surfers to strain their strength. In addition, there is an incredibly strong current here, which makes skiing much more difficult. But if you feel confident on the board, you should definitely come here to try your hand at it. The festive and incredibly friendly atmosphere of Uluwatu, combined with extreme challenges on the waves, will definitely be remembered for a long time.

Florianopolis, Brazil

Best time to visit: December-April Florianópolis has more than 40 beaches, and their total length is approximately 1,500 km. The best surf spots are located around the island's capital, Santa Catarina. Due to the unique climatic conditions, there are waves all year round, and thanks to the vibrant tropical beauty and wide variety of surf breaks, the coast can easily lay claim to the title of one of the best surfing spots in the world. Beginner athletes usually ride on the beach of Barra da Lagoa. There are no strong waves that make orientation difficult, and you can choose between right and left breaks. For professionals, the beaches of Praia Mole and Praia da Joaquina are more suitable, where the waves are higher and less predictable due to frequent wind changes.

Buxton, North Carolina, USA

Best time to visit: December-February, partly May The best surfing beach on the Atlantic Coast of the United States is named after the Old Lighthouse Beach lighthouse overlooking Cape Hatteras. This is an open point break with long and fairly powerful waves that do not require special qualifications. It does not work very often - those who want to ride the wave will have to wait for the westerly wind. The water here is quite cool, so a wetsuit will be required.

Surin Beach, Phuket, Thailand

Best time to visit: May-October Despite the fact that Thailand is not on the list of the best places for surfing, there are also opportunities for those who like to ride the crest of a wave. One of the most suitable places for this is Surin Beach on the island of Phuket. The cozy and very beautiful coastline, almost 1.5 km long, is perfect for beginners. The waves here are small, but quite stable, although there are days of complete calm. It’s best to ride in the evening, when the heat subsides, the wind rises, and the colorful sunset enhances the feeling of unity with nature.

Black's Beach, San Diego, California, USA

Best time to visit: all year round Black's Beach is the most extreme surf spot in California. There is nothing to do here not only for beginners, but also for those who have begun to feel more or less confident on the board. The best surfers in San Diego gather at Black's Beach, and athletes from all over the state come here on weekends. The sharp wind and fast currents create high and very difficult waves that are difficult for even a professional to ride. Another advantage of the beach is the almost complete absence of people, with the exception of small groups of nudists.

Bundoran, Ireland

Best time to visit: December-February Bundoran has a strong claim to being the best surf spot in Europe. Huge waves here can reach heights of 50 m, although in many areas they are much smaller. Such diversity makes this natural corner of Ireland attractive to both professionals and beginners. At Bundoran, everyone can choose a spot that suits their skills - from rough elements to flat, gentle waves. The main thing is to have a warm wetsuit with you, as the water in this region is very cold even in the hot summer months, not to mention the winter when surfers flock here.

Killer Point, Taghazout, Morocco

Best time to visit: November-March The Killer Point surf spot gets its scary name from the killer whales that often swim into the region. Nevertheless, skiing here is still quite dangerous - sharks are found in this area, and long and powerful waves near the shore crash against the rocks. Beginners should go to other spots - there are quite a lot of them nearby, but professionals will definitely like the adrenaline-filled Killer Point. The waves here reach 1.5-3 meters, and the strong and changeable current will add to the pleasure. It is necessary to take into account that despite the hot weather, it is worth having a wetsuit with you - it will protect against sunburn and rather cool, especially in season, water.

Hanalei Bay, Kauai, Hawaii

Best time to visit: all year round Horseshoe-shaped Hanalei Bay has the kind of tropical beauty that can only be found in Hawaii. Wild rocks, a stormy ocean sparkling in the sun and waterfalls flowing among exotic greenery make an indelible impression. Additionally, Hanalei Bay is known for its consistently consistent top tube waves. The bay is large enough to offer areas of varying difficulty. There is a place for both professionals and beginners - which is why Hanalei Bay can easily be called one of the best places in the world for surfing.

Pedra Branca Ericeira, Portugal

Best time to visit: October-May Pedra Branca Ericeira Beach is located about 50 km from Lisbon, next to a small fishing village turned surf town. Now this zone has the status of a nature reserve - the only one of its kind in Europe and the second in the world. Its main difference from most European surf points is several powerful reef breaks, which create huge waves. Only professionals are recommended to surf here - it was in Pedra Branca Ericeira that the first Portuguese surfing championship was held.

"turkish delights are never big." zeyna laughs, amused by ines's humor just as she has been for their long friendship. she's fairly certain they became friends in the first place because of ines's wit, even at six years old. "well, that's not a shot, then. that's...downing a drink." zey clarifies, shooting her a grin. "i guess we're both bad friends and just insulted each other the same way." she adds, but there's no ire in her tone only a laugh on her lips.

but quickly, zeyna's features scrunch in distaste as she imagines andrew tate just a stone's throw away and in the disgusting colored lambo. turkish passion ignites through her arms, wrists flicking with a dramatic wave of her hands. "i would spit at him, ines. spit. at. him." she feigns an accent like her mother's, intense and loud. "inshallah, i would tell that man he is dirt. nazar değmesin." but laughter breaks her act shortly after, even if, technically, she means every word she says.

it doesn't take long for zeyna to fall back into her own self, especially when she hears that carina might be at the cookout. she glances to ines, looking for any sign of concern over her friend's face. "i mean..." zey clears her throat, knowing the precarious situation. "maybe it'll be good to meet her? especially at a family thing? more people to talk to if it's weird? instead of...god, imagine all lined up at a dinner table somewhere. nowhere to go if there's an awkward silence." but now zeyna wonders if the drawn out silence is because ines's mind whirls about the cookout.

however, she couldn't be further from the truth. when ines finally breaks the silence, zeyna is left with more questions than answers. she sits straighter, angling to her friend with a confused look. "wait, what? how do you know it won't go anywhere? what happened? did he say something?" the questions rush from her, because ines has hardly provided much context. all she knows is how giggly her friend was after meeting jakob at a party, the texts back and forth between them about him and his particular shaggy run talent. "nes, start from the top. did you ask him out?" because ines is hardly a shrinking violent, but zeyna can't work out why jakob wouldn't be interested. "was he a dick!? i'll kill him."

"That's not true. You can make big Turkish Delights. Shots are always small." Ines fires back but there's no offense in her tone, her laughter following easily as she realizes her and Zey argue very strange specifics. "Well, unless you're an alcoholic, I guess. You could do a shot in a normal glass. Like...down a whole thing." she backtracks on her own argument as she chuckles, watching Zeyna show Titan and Ghost some affection through the rear view mirror.

A snicker escapes Ines as she studies the bright orange car, finding it difficult to disagree with Zeyna's take. "It does look like his great big bald head is gonna get out of that." she agrees. "What if it was him? Would you say something?" Ines asks, glancing to Zeyna briefly as she grins. "Oh wait, he's in Romania, right? Because like...sex trafficking stuff." she adds casually before a more content nod bops over her head to hear Zey will be at the cookout. "Okay, good. Shit's kinda...tense." Ines's muttering admission is easier to her friend, who knows the ins and outs of it all. "Carina might be there, 'cause of Toby." she explains, glancing to Zeyna again with a slightly knowing look.

A look that becomes slight disbelief at the way the music is shut off, the two of them forced into silence. In many ways, Ines isn't even surprised by the reaction from Zeyna and chuckles with a hint of smugness. She can sit in silence all day, and focuses her attention to the road, saying absolutely nothing nor looking to her friend. But, the silence means her mind wanders quickly and easily to the gala, to Jakob and suddenly, Ines isn't quite so smug. "I kinda messed up." she admits, voice quiet and no longer it's usual confident casual tone. "I kinda liked him...well, you know.

Ines can hear herself ramble, hands gripping tighter on the wheel. "I just wanted to go home 'cause it sucked but anyways, even if it didn't suck, Kat wants me to go to Belgium in October for the championships, so. Dating is kinda dumb. And we haven't even...dated so I was just getting ahead of...I'm talking too much." sort of but Ines is reaching for the volume buttons to get the music playing again.
