there are palaces with no princesses

i know it’s a kind of cliche to talk about “those kinds of friends you instantly reconnect with after months, years, of not talking to them” but man, these people are so exactly that.

listening to my Korean R&B music out of a bluetooth speaker at 12 AM, next to an orange dim street light, sitting on the trunk of his truck, laughing at stupid jokes, being real without talking

i can’t really paint the picture right now, but it was just really great. and they are not just high school friends, they’re my middle school friends. i haven't even gotten the chance to see them as much during the high school years, and yet after all this time, we were all together again.

(sidenote: and i never once felt like “oh, that’s why i stopped hanging out with them as much” i never had a surge of “these people aren’t good for me” like i do sometimes. it was just really genuine.)

oh no! did they take anything? i love you!!! :(
