mike🤪💖

my feet hurt

bc my cousin (the devil) FORCED me to wear a stupid pair of heels to this stupid anniversary party
and now i'm dying 😭😭

i feel weird
like she put sooo much makeup on me
she rly tried to get me to let her bleach my fricking hair and i was like ha no sis
she's insane

did you take a picture?

yup
BECAUSE THEY FORCED ME

they?

my family
my moms sister is her mom
my mom's side of the family are all so snobby
it's their 30th wedding anniversary
not their actual wedding!!!
yet here i am
dying in this fancy hotel w blisters on the backs of my feet ☹️☹️

they do sound snobby

i wanna go home
and take out these ungodly contacts
my eyes r so dry

how much longer until you leave?

idk what it was
but it was pretty so i took a pic
phone eats first amirite 😊😊

a picture of you

uhh u didn't specify

well, i am now

ok but like
what if i don't look like what ur expecting 🤧🤧

you said i didn't look how you expected
we're still friends?
i don't see how it would matter

ok but what if
ur like
"oof she ugly"
and u don't wanna be friends anymore

i've already accepted the possibility that you're beastly and i've decided that i'm okay with it

WHATIN HECK
THAT WASNT COMFORTING

i'm kidding
i'm sure you're pretty

ughhhhhh i'm going to die

no, you aren't

eventually i will
eventually we all will
life is temporary
we live so we can die

stop trying to pretend you're philosophical
just send the picture, my god

😬

this is kind of ridiculous

i just
ok last night i was thinking
and i came up w this rly bad scenario in my head
and now i'm rly scared and sad 😅

what kind of scenario?

ok in said scenario
i didn't look how u expected and u stopped talking to me
and not to sound like a total loser but ur like my only actual friend at the moment bc rosie doesn't talk to me at school
i just don't want u to be like
"oh um haha can't talk to u anymore i'm moving to mexico lol bye"
bc of my face

el, are you serious?
i mean, i just wanted to know what you look like because it's weird not knowing who i'm telling all this stuff to
but if it really causes this much anxiety for you then you don't have to

om gosh

bc i've lowkey been stressing over this all day
u have noooo idea

i'm sorry

i was prepared to lie to make you feel better
but like i'm not even lying

hm yeah ok

i'm serious
why do you think you're ugly?
i'm so confused
don't let this go to your head because we're just friends, but you're hot

i'm shocked, too
you talk so badly about your appearance
and obviously, no one should put themselves down like that
but you definitely shouldn't

ur being rly nice to me rn
and i don't know how to take it
bc like ur probably lying
but i would like to think u wouldn't lie to me

i wouldn't lie to you
