You wish you could have been normal… I can promise you I do not. The world is an infinitely better place precisely because you weren’t.

Chivalry is not dead
Music: may come across as moody and silent but is actually soft, knows the most random facts ever, actually enjoys studying, always humming silently to themselves, 99% of the time they are wearing headphones, overanalyzes the simplest things, loves drinking coffee from their small local coffee shop

Performance: has the most beautiful smile, voice of an angel, gets excited over the little details of life, lives to make other people laugh, the hardest worker of the bunch, “what if…?”, in love with sweater weather, loves collaborating on special projects, has more energy than the sun, loves drinking special coffee drinks like cappuccinos, lattes, etc.
Drawing: the most patient people ever, fan-girls over new equipment such as pastels or pencils, loose paper in the most random places covered with their sketches, doodles during class, loves listening to music from the 70s and 80s, easily makes friends because they can read people’s emotions, loves drinking matcha green tea
Culinary: the most inventive people, has a knack in STEM topics, improvises a lot, very adventurous, always has the craziest stories to tell, always baking treats for friends, are not afraid to get their hands dirty, runs straight for the cookbooks in the bookstore, makes breakfast for their entire family, actually manages to make Pinterest recipes, loves drinking healthy smoothies

Brian wanting to paint something awesome for noah and asking jude for help because let’s be honest the boy can’t even draw a straight line. And Jude gets so excited !!!! She gathers pamphlets and art books and tries to teach him a billion techniques he can’t even begin to comprehend and he’s just! so! lost! He spends a week working on 5 different sketches and “ohmygod jude they’re terrible, i’m terrible, i don’t know how you two do it, i should have sticked to sports. Do you think he’d like a signed ball??? Or maybe a telescope??” Oscar just laughs because god damn of course picasso would fall in love with a guy who can’t tell the difference between the color yellow and the color mustard. In the end, he ends up giving Noah a simple pencil drawing of him and noah star gazing with smudges all over bc he’s left handed and the struggle is real. he writes a tiny ‘i love you’ in the corner of the paper with a smiley face bc he’s a fucking dork like that and he’s so embarrased when he gives it to Noah like srsly he can’t even look at him. But even though it’s kinda terrible and it looks like it was done by a 9-year-old in sweetwine standards, Noah absolutely loves it. And late at night he stares at it and tries to hold back tears because jesus he has spent so much of his time drawing and painting the world and the people around him and no one besides his sister had ever taken the time to draw something JUST FOR HIM. and of course he spends the rest of the week grinning ,feeling like he’s walking on clouds and god he’s honestly considering having it framed????? and he’s so so glad he isn’t a horse because he loves that rock-collecting baseball-playing boy so damn much and he doesn’t know where he would be without him.
Graduating from high school is bittersweet - on the one hand, you’re leaving a place where all your friends are, where your teachers have helped your intellectual capabilities thrive as much as possible; and on the other hand, you’re entering a new stage of your life, one where you’re expected to be an adult, and one where responsibilities are actually serious.
Treasure the moments you’re living now, because you’ll never know when they’ll fly by. I regret not doing that. And I regret not reaching out to more people before it was too late. I grew too close to too many people in these last days of high school, which is unfortunate, because the chances of us seeing each other in uni are slim.
Here’s to the future!

Leather jacket - Messy hair, earbuds are always in and usually glares at you from across the room, but mostly just for aesthetic. A very loyal friend and always down for an adventure
Trenchcoat - Keeps to themselves, is bloody brilliant but never lets you know, very logical and a bit hesitant to do something dangerous. Can formulate a sure-fire plan like nobody’s business.
Bomber - Super hot and oh-so sarcastic. Rebellious at night, but pretty chill during the day. Causes trouble and looks great while doing it
Rain coat - Very playful and fun to be around. Will sit with you outside on any day, sun or rain, and loves plants and flowers. Probably collects succulents or something
Jean jacket - Crazy-good artist, and never leaves the house without art supplies. Won’t let you see their work because they don’t think it looks any good, but in actuality it’s pretty amazing
Tracksuit - Wears sporty clothing, but only for comfort. Never actually leaves the house, lives off of Cheez-Its and Ramen noodles, and surfs the internet at all times. A true homebody who can binge an entire Netflix series in two days
Military jacket - Usually very sweet, but will murder anyone who looks at their friends the wrong way. A bit clingy, but it’s just because they love you. Will defend their opinions and the people they care about, loyal to the very end
Hoodie - Major douchebag, practically a fuqboi/girl, nobody trusts them. Makes up lies about you for the drama, doesn’t know when to leave someone alone. Calls themselves “trash”
Pea coat - Super stylish and kind of talkative, and will always help someone with a fashion crisis. A bit loud and can’t keep a secret, but will never turn their back on you
Windbreaker - The sporty one who can outrun literally everybody, and there is absolutely no sport they won’t dominate at. Super nice, will stay with you as you finish that extra lap, or gives you pointers on shooting hoops, a great friend who never breaks a sweat
So I just watched Candy Jar on Netflix and God damnit it was so cute and sad. It pulled at my heartstrings so many different ways ah.
