hey y'all, i'm kinda in my feelings currently. my childhood best friend, who i do not keep in touch with anymore, had a baby. she didn't post once about the pregnancy, i found out when she posted a photo of her fresh-out-the-womb newborn. for context, she has another child who she had at 16. while i'm not privy to the whole situation, for the past few years that child (who's now 10) has not been living with her as the primary caretaker, but rather her grandmother (my friend's mom whom i was also super close with growing up). and idk... it's just making me really sad. having another kid with a man you've been moving around the country with (just the two of them), posting about the marriage 8 months after it happened.... it's all just really weird to me. we were best friends for 10 years before she moved to texas from ma. for many years after that, we kept in touch, i've met her first child several times, but the past few years we haven't kept in touch. and i really don't want to, to be honest. i just miss the person i knew her as, and needed to regurgitate my thoughts somewhere. here's a photo of us from the first year we became besties, how many wonderful and sweet memories we had.

despite the years that have passed and speaking for a minimum of twice a year … i still feel incredibly attached to my childhood best friend. i know her too well - its actually funny how our conversations never seem to end and even in our silence it seems to still be the most comforting. we both have grown and our paths cannot be more different, but maybe thats the beauty of being childhood friends 💓

a couple of my friends shared some photos from their childhood and high schools days and i started sobbing…like really hard. this was all over text thankfully
what got me was being able to see their facial features in their childhood photos and now every time i look at them i think of them as a little baby and i think about how much i want to hold them and. ugh. i might cry again

I remember all my best friends of my childhood, i just find it really nostalgic how we no longer talk, we used to do everything together, be in each other houses just playing and talking and watching movies, i understad that we are older and different in so many ways, but understanding it doesnt make it less nostalgic

i just saw this tweet and oh goodness. my heart hurts for the op, and the message is just so... spot on? energy that's unreciprocated seriously hurts so bad. when your whimsy isn't appreciated, when the simple joys you partake in are crushed by anyone, especially a partner..... oh no honey RUN. a relationship like this is so unfulfilling, you deserve a person who's all in on you finding childlike wonder in the littlest, most mundane things. for the dreamers, the idealistic, such as myself - don't let anyone dull your sparkle like this. that's all <3

you can replace cringe with really any adjective you like, but cringe is the one i gravitate to the most. living unapologetically as my truest self is the most important thing to me as i've gotten older. the right people will be in your corner, will love your "cringe", or whatever it may be. because there's nothing as freeing as being yourself.
words applicable to me that i could replace cringe with:
crazy (a classic)
silly
annoying (lovingly)
