Nicknames: When You Shorten Someone’s Name Affectionately

Have you ever been to the Philippines? 🇵🇭

sometimes, I wonder: souls can be reincarnated into a new life, right? when we lose a part of our souls, imagine if it could reincarnate??? like, that one trait being the most prominent in its reincarnation??? and you might catch a glimpse of the reincarnation later on and see a reflection of your past self and be comforted by the fact that not all is truly lost and that every part of your soul is worth value and is capable of making another life flourish???

classrooms are a lot more nostalgic than we think

i feel that we underappreciate the amount of good memories it brings us; how unique our experiences in a dull workplace could be so vivid and so cool and so… so special.

School is starting anew and studying could not be more beautiful when done together. This post is for the many other students out there, learning and growing amidst differences and distances. I’ve always dreamed of a community united through this and could not be any happier when I found studyblr <33

The first week’s been pretty cool, the teachers can be intimidating but the experience is fun. I think I accidentally grew into those people who take cool notes with memo pads, annotations, and highlights during class hehe <33

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

Are any of you the eldritch horror of the friend group while simultaneously being the therapist and mom friend???

i just had a hilarious thought. imagine one of the kids or nancy or someone has been bugging steve about when he’s finally gonna get together with robin because they’re obviously perfect for each other. steve protests that they are just friends but the other person won’t relent. he knows he can’t out robin but he’s honestly at a loss for what else will make them leave it alone. in a moment of split second judgement he ends up blurting out that he’s gay.

they don’t believe him so he doubles down and tells them he’s dating eddie and that makes them leave it alone but now they think he and eddie are dating which causes a whole new problem for him. steve tells eddie what happened and all but begs him to play along. eddie agrees easily after a little pleading (he liked watching steve beg, sue him). cue fake dating where they are pining hopelessly after each other but think the other is only being affectionate because they are supposed to be pretending to date.
