earlier this week Twitter user ppuccin0 tweeted about a fashion article that advised against tops with large floral patterns, saying the wearer was in danger of looking like a "ロマンティックおばさん," or a "romantic auntie." the tweet went viral with many agreeing that a "romantic auntie" sounded like a very nice thing to aspire to be, and some even posted illustrations or photos tagged with the trend

Here's to everyone who has broken up with a friend and felt great.

And everyone who has broken up with a friend and felt terrible.

Here's to everyone missing a friend that they used to be really close with and now it's like you barely know each other anymore.

Here's to everyone whose relationship or familial status has changed and they've lost friends because of it.

And everyone who've stayed single or childless and have lost friends because of it.

Here's to everyone who made friends with someone and then they turned out to be toxic somewhere down the line.

Here's to everyone who really struggle to put up boundaries with friends. And when you try, you're made to feel like a bad person and unsupportive or a liar. Or maybe you don't try at all and you just deal with the suffering a little longer because it'll get better.

Here's to everyone that has struggled to break up with a friend because you don't really have another support system in place. You'd rather have one friend than no friends or go through the whole ordeal of trying to make new friends. It sucks.

Here's to everyone who question if others think that one friend is as bad as they are, or if you're alone. But because of that you can't vent to anyone who might feel the same way or understand.

Here's to everyone who have gone through with a friend breakup or distanced themselves from one person in a larger friend group, and you've ended up losing everyone in that group. I'm sorry.

Here's to everyone who have broken up with a friend and feel like you've lost a huge part of yourself. Like your entire sense of self identity has been irreparably altered.

There are a lot more scenarios. But the last one I'm gonna touch on...

Here's to everyone in toxic friendships or friendships that don't serve them or any combination or variation thereof and don't realize it yet. You might be reading this right now, you might not think this applies to you. You might even see something that does. If one day, you start to realize that something feels off? Believe in the way you feel.
