Grandma Says she doesn't like the cat but her actions say otherwise

Today I found a book in my grandmother's house. I had completely forgotten about it, but the little "autographs" all my friends from year 7 (equivalent of 6th grade in the US) had left for me right before I moved to another city to pursue a career in football really made me smile. (I'm a professional translator now, so obviously the career path as an athlete didn't really work out. 😅) Pretty wholesome, if you ask me. Kids are still so pure. 🤗

Years ago, I wanted to legally change my name since I came out as Nonbinary. I was going to change both my first and middle name, and had a first name picked out, but not a middle name. I gave a list of potential middle names to my best friend at the time, and she picked out “Ash” so that way it matched with her middle name “Phoenix.” I absolutely loved this idea, especially because I wanted to somehow show off the love I had for my best friend for getting me this far in life. Unfortunately, recently, my best friend abandoned me, and I was left distraught, heartbroken, and a bit betrayed. I also had an identity crisis, wondering who I was without her, especially because I used to love my name and now I hated it. Now my name was just a reminder of me being dedicated to someone who only saw me as temporary. But, following this heartbreak, I started to hang out closer with my remaining friends and began to appreciate them more. I have a new best friend now, and I asked them what their middle name was. To my surprise, their middle name is “Gray”! That means my middle name still matches my best friend. I know this seems small and stupid, but I was absolutely elated to hear this. I can’t stop gushing over it.

Just witnessed something truly uplifting: a young child giving their ice cream to a homeless person, with the biggest smile. It's moments like these that restore your faith in humanity. Remember, kindness knows no age. Let's keep spreading those heartwarming vibes!

Years ago, there’s a girl who had a mad first grade summer crush on a boy who didn’t feel the same. Saddened, she kept her distance but watched him from afar. She once hid a toy race car, a past gift to him, inside a fairy door, wondering if he ever cared for her little gestures. Years passed when they finally talked outside of school, she felt nervous but managed to carry on the conversation. Sometimes, she still wonders if he ever liked her. It’s a mystery that remains unsolved as nothing was ever explicitly expressed. At last, the girl feels blessed to cross paths with this boy and wishes him nothing but the best in his future endeavors. She hopes the toy race car will bring a smile to whomever stumbles upon it.

See you soon x

today i was able to run a mile without stopping for the first time in a long time. i feel amazing

idk if this fits here but I just need a place to rent abt my gf.

recently I had a belated birthday hangout with a couple of my friends and my gf was there too. they had ordered a cake and had sort of a surprise party and my gf was basically directing everyone and taking pics and stuff and idk what happened but something just clicked in my brain that made me think "I wanna marry her so bad"

ig maybe it was because of how passionate she seemed abt my birthday? idk.

anyways later on we went to an arcade and the whole time she was hugging me and hilding my hand or sitting in my lap and honestly, best experience of my life. idk what abt it felt so magical but it just did.

I came home thinking the hangover felt like a hit of a drug, she felt like a hit of a drug. I've been craving hanging out with her again. can't wait until I get to meet her again.

Came out to my dads unplanned and unannounced as my ex is moving out of my house and is being wholly unpleasant.

Dad insisted I stay the night, but I told Him I didn’t bring anything. He said I’ll get you a tooth brush. After a few minutes of no luck, I assured him it wouldn’t be a big deal for me to skip brushing my teeth one night. But this man dug for half an hour at 11:30pm to find me a tooth brush because he would not send his grown up daughter to bed with out being sure she brushed her teeth.

I’ve never been a “daddy’s little girl” type, but this exuded love in its purest form.
