A principle I aim to adopt is "embody what you desire." If I desire friends who host themed parties, perhaps initiating such gatherings myself is the first step. If I long for someone who expresses affection through love letters, I could cultivate that by writing heartfelt letters to those I care about. Wanting to frequent museums and charming cafes? Extend invitations to friends for these outings. Even if I don't immediately find my ideal circle, I would have evolved into the very person I aspire to be around, and perhaps, that in itself is sufficient.
“There’s a Japanese phrase that I like: koi no yokan. It doesn’t mean love at first sight. It’s closer to love at second sight. It’s the feeling when you meet someone that you’re going to fall in love with them. Maybe you don’t love them right away, but it’s inevitable that you will.”

I don't want others to help me, not because I want to be a cool independent woman(though that might be a partial reason lmao), but cuz I feel like a fkin burden and I feel so annoying
"the despair of an idealism that you can't attain" aaaaaaaah, i am so dead
"I am eternally, devastatingly romantic, and I thought people would see it because 'romantic' doesn't mean sugary' It's dark and tormented - the furor of passion, the despair of an idealism that you can't attain."

Someone snitched real bad cuz it's been a while since they started showing up on my feed with captions like "biker boys are for book girlies" and all... I feel too seen
I'm not sure how many of you are active on Instagram but the biker boys have somehow found that book girls are into stuff and now my whole feed is full of them
ikr, i be kicking the air only to end up cursing cuz he won't ever look at me the way the he in romcoms does
I have such a love-hate relationship with rom-coms. Love how the characters fall in love, hate how I’m probably never going to have that.
