My brother just moved into a new apartment by the beach with room for guests which means free beach time for me (and my sister) right. So I told him we wanted to come soon. And he said ok but jsyk I'm working one weekend coming up. I said ok. I asked my sister when she wanted to go. She has stuff the first and third weekends of August and we both had smth the second weekend. I was thinking we should go Friday - Monday so we had the whole weekend free. I texted my brother that and said do you mind if we're there while you're working (aka Friday + Monday. Instead of just thinking we'd be there sat/sun). He said that's fine what weekend? I said can we do this weekend? Bc of all the other stuff for the next 3 weeks. Remember: he is working one of these weekends. I'm not sure which. That's why I asked if we could come this weekend. He said yes. We're leaving tomorrow morning. I just found out that this is the weekend he's working. And he never confirmed this to me when I asked like 3 different questions about if this weekend is ok. 😐

Kinda Crazy to be not in the wrong ig (friends can be fun to hang with AND be terrible to you)

Actually shared with my sister what happened and when she said "I have a controversial opinion" I thought she'd say I was overreacting and not that I "should've stopped talking to that girl ages ago" huh maybe it's not a silly reason to be upset after all

like hey remember that time she invited me over to her house and not 2 hours later asked me to leave cause she had to go out with other friends

or when she said she "had" to go somewhere when we set up to call/watch smth together and then let slip in class to our other friend that she went to play volleyball with those same friends from the other time

or when I shared with her I had tried an at home workout and the warm up was very difficult and she shared that to our (male) friend in a jabbing tone (making even him a bit uncomfortable, to the point where he tried to softly defend me)

OR !!! when she insisted I went to a coffee shop with her and her boyfriend and went quiet and got an attitude in the middle of the outing (even when we kept trying to engage her in the conversation)

OR in that same outing when she shared a video of the move we tried at muay thai that week and laughed to her bf about how I barely got it done, even though when we were at the gym I was self conscious about it and she reassured me that it was an advanced move and I was doing very good for a beginner because me getting along with her boyfriend "made her jealous" (girl i don't want you bf) (i don't even know how YOU want him) (im here cause you asked me to and im making an effort to be nice)

OR when even tho we had made plans to go see a movie together on the weekend, she said yes to an invite to go to a bar on the same day and overall time of the movie IN FRONT OF ME

OR !! when we made plans to watch Spider Verse together and she texted me before we could go and said her bf "bought different tickets" without her seeing and so they saw ATSV instead

OR when her boyfriend was very rude to me for no reason in front of our entire class and SHE came to me later to apologize FOR HIM cause "he lashed out cause he's going through a lot"

OR when I was crying (which I don't really do often, specially not in public) one that same day and she felt conflicted in staying with (when I ALWAYS make sure she's okay on the hundreds of times she left class or called me crying) or staying with her bf who was "a little bit upset" (he had to tell her to go talk to me)

or when she does something that bothers or annoys me and I communicate it to her (like we agreed we'd do, so neither of us get that uneasy anxious feeling) and she says stuff like "you dont hate me now right?" or "im sorry im such an awful friend" or "I'll understand if you dont wanna be my friend anymore" making me compartmentalize my own bad feelings to reassure her (even tho she's in the wrong)

OR !! For completely disregarding the plans we made to watch this show (that i was very excited to see your reactions to) together, only to watch almost half of it with ur boyfriend literally the night before AND keep me waiting all day for a reply the next day, only to be very nonchalant about the mean thing you did

OR !! always making me bend over backwards to fit into her "busy schedule" but not making the effort of CREATING time for me in her schedule

I'm gonna be enjoying the end of this lovely Carnaval week (god bless national holidays) with a clean conscience and will be amicable when returning to class on monday (at best)

is so weird to actually get older sister advice cause i have a "old wise character" syndrome where I think I know everything (I failed to do what past me did at 16 without even flinching) (it'll be weird to cut this person out of my life) (but I will not stay where I'm clearly not wanted) (well... maybe wanted but not treated with care and love)

Hello~

omg yes we'd be like elegant victorian vampire aristocrats taking a stroll.

ok fine next to the book case is my bonking hammer, just in case. (I'll rarely use it because we read too, and every week we have a manga break!)

hwaaah omg ty!!! I'd love to show you my OC!! But there are still some things I need to tweak. She's got a Geo vision tho, and she's a catalyst user!

It's also finals season! the stress has reached an all time high ^^;

ily, lia, take care! *hugs*

-michikinon!

YESSSS. michikinon, hear me out; modern victorian fashion. mwah, graceful, marvelous, beautiful... or it's just the dark/light academia in me speaking, hehe. speaking of, do you have a certain fashion you usually follow?? i could use some new fashion inspo >:)

good, but i'd like you to know that i'm vv skilled at dodging and my classmates fear me during dodgeball. so, you might have to pay attention to your back if you wanna catch me ;D (/j) MANNN, your club sounds even cooler now! btw, how is the mock trial going??? i really hope your school makes the club a permanent thing because 1) i said it and i'll say it again, the club sounds like absolute heaven and 2) you'll be known as the founder and that is also cool (alexander hamilton who /j)

niceeee! which nation is your oc from?? drop the profile and trivias because i'm already so excited to see her 😩 and so true, catalysts supremacy! smth abt them is so elegant fjjekskfk and her vision is geo too! i really like the concepts where each type of vision identifies with the holder's ambitions, so it makes me wonder what ambitions your oc has and what kind of person she is >:)

AND GOOD LUCK <3 make sure to take breaks and manage your time well! i swear final exams are always out to get people by the neck, but ik you'll get thru it. go go go, michikinon! 🫂

The moral of my tag rant I guess is to just please, please learn how to interact with people who have speech impediments, you don't know how your good-intentioned actions can hurt someone.

The general rule of thumb is just act like you're talking to anyone else - don't finish their sentences, no 'it's OK take your time', literally just stand there, don't say anything and wait for them to finish

Great article that I love that goes into more detail here
