  • Friend

    My friend who buys crystals without knowing what they do and hopes for the best.

  • Friend

    My cousin who refuses to text back but will send me reels weeks later.

  • People

    My favorite people lately are the ones who send voice notes while clearly walking through a wind tunnel.

  • Stranger

    The person in the group chat mod who keeps starting fights about cereal.

  • Stranger

    The stranger who shouted “SLAY!” at my outfit from a moving vehicle.

  • Coworker

    The coworker who pretends not to know how the printer works so she doesn’t get asked to fix it.

  • Friend’s Parent

    My friend’s parent who keeps asking when I’ll marry someone. Anyone. They don’t care who.

  • Bar Person

    The person at the bar who yelled “GO QUEEN” at me even though my shoe was untied.

  • Neighbor

    The neighbor whose dog always escapes to my porch like it pays rent.

  • Cousin

    My cousin who doesn’t believe in expiration dates. Chaotic neutral.
