i saw three of my closest friends again today and just. god i love them so much.
the worst part of adulthood is seeing your friends less - though hopefully when people have graduated and everyone's in the same city again it'll be better, it sucks knowing i'll never see them as often as i used to back in high school. dogpiling onto the common room couch to watch anime and lying in the sun during break and eating lunch together everyday and everything just being less high stakes? high school had its problems, don't get me wrong, but i think a part of me will always yearn for how much less lonely it was.
so it was a delight as ever to get to hang out today, i found myself taking as many photos as i used to and there's something close friends will always manage to squeeze in your heart when you see them.
love y'all so so much!!! we might not have another group hangout til next winter but i'll be counting the days <333333 ⸜(｡˃ ᵕ ˂ )⸝˚₊♡₊˚⸜(｡˃ ᵕ ˂ )⸝

there’s something so satisfying about a lengthy hangout. there are so many shifts and unspoken compromises between people, roles assumed and forfeited. it’s just awesome, i love my friends.

sitting around in the cold weather at my parents' house on long island with some of my closest friends from high school after not hearing from each other for a whole year. massive win for the power of friendship last night.

i miss having seeing a friend on campus and running small errands with them. as you get older these things become less of a thing, but when it happens, it’s glorious.

i've been doing little things to make my life a little easier, like leaving a bottle of water, iron supplements and some belvita soft bakes right by my bed so i always have breakfast, water and iron in the morning, and keeping a very condensed set of skincare stuff right by my toothbrush - it might not be as effective as having more but getting myself to use a cleanser, moisturising sunscreen and vaseline every day has already made my skin feel so much better which has just gotten me more excited to do my routine every day. plus, getting body sprays and haircare stuff and just products in general that you really like the smell of is a game changer because now i get to smell like pineapples and caramel every day! it's such little things but it makes me happy and keeps me doing a routine of things that are good for me :))

i love wearing clothes with fun colours and comfy textures, i feel like it just makes you so much happier walking past mirrors! i got this handmade chunky rainbow sweater with this lovely criss-cross decorative stitching on the outside that makes it look fun and patchworked, and something about the colours just makes me so happy! same with dungarees, i can't believe i only recently picked up a pair because they really do make you feel like the plucky main characters from the books we read at age eleven ( ˶ˆᗜˆ˵ )~✩‧₊

i went through my instagram and looked at all the posts and all the slides and wow, my friends all look so happy. i miss being the person who takes a million photos because i captured so many happy moments. that side of me still comes out in certain friend groups but theese days i feel like i have less inclination of reach for my camera. some people say it's living in the moment but for me part of living in the moment is the craving to capture it. people criticise social media for only showing the good parts of life, and i absolutely get that, but it's fun to look at when it's yours and you forget how whimsical and lovely life can be sometimes.
lot of yap to say that i love taking photos and i adore my friends but it's par for the course at this point <3
