The Ellizy

What’s something you’d love to see in the future, but know you probably won’t live to witness? I badly want to sound normal in this prompt today. Like a girl saying, “I’d love to see my mother living happily and anxiety-free.” But sometimes we can’t predict when we’ll die. And honestly, that answer sounds like something that could actually happen if I start holding my hopes higher than my life…

If you had an unlimited budget for 24 hours, what would you do? First of all… whose card are we using? Because with that question, there is absolutely no way my fantasies are touching the words “unlimited budget” using my own bank account. It has to be a miracle sponsored by someone with a very big heart. So whose card are we swiping for 24 hours, WordPress? Because I sure won’t be sleeping that…

If you could have dinner with any philosopher, who would it be? The moment I read this prompt, I just smirked and immediately remembered being in one unpleasant classroom, surrounded by beautiful girls left and right, while one strict potato-looking teacher stood in front trying to explain philosophers like we were all supposed to magically understand what the hell was going on. Now that I’m…

How do you handle fear and self-doubt? It’s good to be back typing nonsense and sarcasm richer than the money that isn’t in my bank account. I thought the recap mode was still on, only to find out WordPress came back with brand-new servings. Guess WordPress really did miss me… 😋 Anyways… hold narcissism for a moment and let’s bless a prompt.For me… let’s group fear as anxiety because even…

If you could have something named after you, what would it be? One day I was enthusiastically answering a prompt about tattoos, fully aware I was experiencing some kind of déjà vu… like I had already lived that exact moment. Honestly, I didn’t even mind. I was enjoying rewatching the scene… until WordPress gently reminded me that yes, I had already answered that question. And just like that, I…

What strategies do you use to cope with negative feelings? I remember when I was a teenager… my coping strategy for negative emotions was simple: crying. Because, damn Lord, what else could I do?I couldn’t shout.I couldn’t fight back.I couldn’t lose my mind like a mad person just to release the tension burning inside my body.So the only thing left was my bedroom. I would go to my room, lock…

Which animal would you compare yourself to and why? Honestly, I can’t even be bothered with an introduction today or beating around the bush. I might as well just declare it in the first paragraph: a cat. Yes. A cat.Because I like that avoidant, slightly “I-don’t-give-a-damn” energy of an animal. 🙄At this point my core readers already know the drill when it comes to me and cats, so this…

Write a letter to your 100-year-old self. Dear 100-Year-Old Delulu Queen,To my 100-year-old self… well, you lived and let live. I don’t know if that’s a blessing, or if you’re just one of those people they talk about when they say, “The good die young and the villains live forever.” I guess you were villain enough to make it to triple digits. I hope you’re okay. I hope you somehow built the…

Where would you go on a shopping spree? My bedroom. With my phone. Pressing “Add to Cart” while waiting for deliveries every damn minute. The Fuck!! I hate outside WordPress, how many times do I have to say it? Even when I think about going shopping, I get exhausted the moment my brain starts mapping the routes, the shops, the “dos and don’ts.” Next thing you know, I’m just lying around like a…

Describe a phase in life that was difficult to say goodbye to. Excuse me?You all get a chance to say proper goodbyes to your life phases? If that’s the case, then wow…  congratulations. You’re lucky.Are we all living on the same Earth, or did I miss a memo? Because I don’t remember scheduling farewell parties for my eras. For me, it’s more like this:I wake up on a random lovely morning, stare…

What advice would you give to your teenage self? This prompt deserves no soft introduction and definitely no motivational background music. We either heal our inner child or we audition for Trauma Olympics.And since I already failed to skip the nonsense… let me speak to teenage me. The era of confusion. The era of overthinking. The era of dramatic staring out the window. Dear Teenage Me,Your…

What bores you? Living in a third-world country is like bargaining for electricity you already paid for. Imagine negotiating with darkness. And trust me, my readers, I’ve missed working on prompts. But I am permanently on low battery mode. On my phone. On my body. On my entire existence. But today?Today I had to answer.Because this question raised my anger bar immediately. What bores you? What…

Write about your approach to budgeting. My approach to budgeting?Simple. I treat myself first… then I think about how I’ll survive five years later.Because why be stingy in the present when I don’t even hold the future in my hands? If tomorrow is not guaranteed, why am I acting like I signed a 100-year contract with life? Trust me, I went through a whole university of wisdom to arrive at this…

If there were a biography about you, what would the title be? I contemplated this the whole day… whether I should answer it or pretend I didn’t see it.And to be honest? I laughed. Even with all my “big words,” I couldn’t seem to find the right ones for a title. But one word must absolutely be included: Delusion. Because I damn well live in a black-and-grey world of my own creation. Now,…

If you had the power to change one law, what would it be and why? Which law?You mean in my country?Because trust me, I would love to disappear into the fantasy of having the power to change anything according to my very sick taste. I could write an entire essay like I’m the founder of a nation, reincarnated, bored, and slightly unhinged. But I won’t.Not because I’m scared… no.Because the price…

You get some great, amazingly fantastic news. What’s the first thing you do? Laugh or smile? I don’t know. It always leads me to one of the two… depends on the intensity of the relief and comedy it brings to my heart. And by the end of it all, the immense pleasure somehow always leads me to tear up a little… because why not 😹😹 I’ll smile and laugh like a crazy person, fresh off relief like it’s…

Do you need a break? From what? Recently?Not a break.I want to go far away from it. If there’s a switch somewhere… one you can flip and be done… I’d like to locate it immediately. I don’t want a pause. I don’t want rest. I want to exit. Permanently. Gracefully. Preferably without a return ticket. 1. Family DramaYes, I am an observer.I don’t interfere. I don’t comment. I don’t sprinkle wisdom…
