Relative: The papparazi don’t click you when you’re at the airport?
Me: I don’t call them.
Relative: you have to call the papparazi?
Me: you think they just hang out at the airport and randomly see people?
Relative looks VERY disappointed. Like his whole life is a lie 😁
A boy and girl within earshot are bantering on the metro. They're friends, evidently.
But it's the kind of friendship that often slants into undertones of all sorts. Where eyes catch, as do hearts—I can tell.
The girl, it seems is on her way to a date.

Because in your early 20s, it seems entirely reasonable that in the 10 long years of your 20s surely you'll find atleast *one* person you want to spend your 30s-70s with?
Yet, sometimes, 10 years isn't enough.

If we don't find anyone, we'll get engaged at 30.
I remember having 'deals' like this of my own—with friends I haven't spoken to in years now.
'Romantic Insurance Friends.'
Because in your early 20s, '30' seems so distant, so far away.

'I heard someone say
"Don't cross oceans for people who wouldn't cross puddle for you" which I thought was good advice. But then someone else spoken up and said:
"No, do it. Do cross oceans for people. Love all people. No condition attached. ++
I think one of the saddest things is when two people really get to know each other: their secrets, their fears, their favorite things, what they love, what they hate, literally everything, and then they go back to being strangers. It's like you have to walk past them and pretend+
To some people, you can never be enough, your so called friends will leave you in need , you give your 100% and all you get in return is buttering and idle talk, nothing worth a dime...
I've been observing this senior for 4 years,,, he is always alone, he comes to the cafe, he eats, sits there for some time and then leaves.. he isn't an introvert either.. i guess just a mature person who knows that nobody is your friend. No matter how hard you try to be good 1/2
it’s insane how you never feel close to people in university but at the same time you’re getting distant to your friends back home like i belong nowhere lol????
