I just feel this need to share my boy with the world. He was indescribable. He understood me, and I him. I’ve never loved anything like this sweet, sweet Bub.
Everything just feels empty. I feel hollow. It’s like he was a part of my soul. I miss him so so much.
I meaaaaan 😍
The best day
THE MF GROUP.
I wrote this thing (while drunk oops).
“We’re older. As I looked around, light dancing on their faces, new lines and creases around their mouths hint at stories they haven’t told me yet. They all sound the same - their tones and inflections indistinguishable from their former selves. Yet, this time they speak of different things. Bigger, more real things. Practical things we were once scared of. We once dreaded the 9 to 5, wondered how to vote, what a mortgage was, how to buy a home. Now we wonder when to take the next step, how to let go, how to quit a job and how to make friends in a new city. I can’t help but to marvel at how the years have changed us. As we sip drinks and send each other short, secret looks across the table, it’s clear that whatever intuition lived in us to bring us together as confidants, supporters and advisors, still flickers.”

(or, a random list of italian expressions that i felt like sharing with the world)
“Se son rose fioriranno.” (literally, “If it’s roses, they will bloom.”) It’s usually used to calm down someone (or even oneself) who’s anxious about a certain situation (for instance going on a date), and it means that if something is bound to happen, it will, and hence that there’s no use being nervous.
“Non s'ha da fare.” It means “it’s not to be done”/“it’s not to happen”. Although this construct is strictly typical of the Florentine dialect, this fixed expression has become widely used in the Italian language after one of the most famous scenes in Alessandro Manzoni’s I Promessi Sposi (The Betrothed), in the line “Questo matrimonio non s'ha da fare, né domani, né mai.” (“This wedding is not to be celebrated, not tomorrow, nor ever.”)
“Hai scoperto l'acqua calda.” (literally “You have discovered hot water.”) Used to ironise about someone’s obvious remark by calling it a revolutionary discovery.
“Morto un papa, se ne fa un altro.” (literally, “Once a pope dies, another one is elected.”) It’s usually used after the end of a relationship and it means that once you lose a lover, you just find another one. It can also be used in other situations with an equivalent meaning.
“Una volta ogni morte di papa.” It literally means “Once every pope’s death” and it’s used as an informal synonym for “very rarely”. (e.g. “Mi ammalo una volta ogni morte di papa.” -> “I get sick very rarely.”)
“La mamma è sempre la mamma.” It means “Mum will always be mum.” and it’s just an expression to state how your mum will always be there for you and will always be your home.
“Che pizza!” It literally translates “What a pizza!” but it has the same meaning as the English “Nuts!” (e.g. “Piove.” “Che pizza!” -> “It’s raining.” “Nuts!”). In the same way, the word “pizza” can be used as an adjective to describe an annoyingly boring person (e.g. “Sei una pizza, non vuoi mai fare nulla.” -> “You’re so boring, you never want to do anything”).
