Shoutout to you people who:
Wear very warm clothes in hot and tropical climates/countries
Drink caffeinated drinks despite their palpitations
Feel like laughing when everyone else on the dining table is serious
Carry a big bag of random things everywhere because what if the house burns down while you’re away?
Reread a book you dislike because a super special person is passionate about it
[especially for you, writers, out there] Go into detail about the most random things ever and end up sounding like a professional in a certain field
Too tired to eat and too hungry to sleep; ends up bringing food to the bed and wakes up to ants everywhere
Rant about the person you’re in love with; you love them, yes, but sometimes they really can be little shits
Takes notes about anything and everything but never read or review them
Have you ever been to the Philippines? 🇵🇭

The great Dorothy Parker born on this day in 1893:
"If you have young friends who aspire to be writers, the second greatest favor you can do to them is present them with copies of The Elements of Style. The first greatest, of course, is to shoot them while they are still happy."
vaping is kinda funny
you could walk past a bunch of scary-looking, shady, gang members
only to smell strawberry muffins or lemon zest
