Babe how r u?
Oh… it’s been a day… I need to… I probably need a wine 🍷 but I’m not gonna drink…
Why not? Just relax for the night.
Lol I don’t have any alcohol in this house. It’s okay I’ll just take a shower and rub some essential oils. That’s my wine equivalent.
Lol… r u still stressed? 🥺
I… was… and… I thought I had work tomorrow but the roster just changed and I don’t?! So… I’m just gonna try to take it easy… I still have assignments, I still have classes to get thru… but… tomorrow is in lieu for an upcoming weekend where I know I’ll have some days back to back and it’ll feel intense again in that sense…
But for now… it’s slightly better than I expected…
That’s good babe! Anything else?
Mmmmmm…
My parents house is very old. We just constantly have problems to deal with…
Awww…
This is why I don’t even want a house!!!
Lol… I can afford to maintain it!
No I have home maintenance PTSD from my parents houses problems!!!!!!
Oh. I see… okay… so u’d rather an apartment?
Yes. With body corporate and handyman on call.
Oh. I see. Okay ✅️
I just don’t feel the need for a HOUSE.
Okay. I don’t mind either way.
Sigh…
My mother keeps lamenting, she’s not sure how many more years she’s got to live…
😳 umm… is she being dramatic…?
Yes and no… babe… I don’t wanna say anything like it’s a curse or a jinx or whatever right?
And she’s saying. U just never know. Because recently, her friend’s son in law passed away suddenly. Unexpectedly. The guy was younger than us. U know. Life is… unpredictable at times.
Oh. I think about that stuff all the time.
That’s so morbid… 🥺
But it’s also a reality.
Mmmm… well she just repeats herself about that these days. It kinds makes me and my brother roll our eyes but at the same time it’s like. Okayyyyyy… we’ll try to cherish every moment with u…
Awww… 🥺❤️ I wanna be there to cherish every moment too.
She was nagging me and nagging me and nagging, nagging naggggg…
I was like. “Mum. I really hope u live long enough to see me with a confirmed boyfriend, engaged, married…”
And she replied. “So ur saying I have to hang in there and live to see it?!”
“YES mum. It’s not happening in 2025 but I really think it’s gonna happen!”
And then she’s like… okay… let’s see what happens…
Awwwww…
I said “I do have a boyfriend but it’s long distance right now”
And she said, “oh good!” — all of a sudden she’s so relieved and happy for me!!!
WOW… 😏
I said, “u remember my Melbourne group of friends?”
She said, “yes…”
I said, “he’s a friend of a friend from that group. He’s similar age. He’s never been married, no kids. So it’s quite simple.”
She was genuinely relieved and… dare I say optimistic?
HAHAHAHAH… yes I’ve never been married, no kids. Why?!
Well it wouldn’t be surprising if u were previously divorced by this age. It wouldn’t even be surprising if u had kids by this age. I guess we would just accept it.
Actually I have 7 kids babe.
Hahahahhahahahaha… 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
So cheeky!!!
LOL…
Anyway… she’s calmed down… I said. “I can’t tell u anything else. I can’t confirm anything else. I can’t just force this person to appear in Australia next week and meet u?! U know?! It will happen when it happens” and she’s starting to accept it…
She simply understands that… u are overseas because of business…
LOL… YEAH……. 🫠
How r u feeling?
Good…? Good-ish?
LOL…
I got to tell her the Truth without saying too much else.
Yes. When u put it that way… we are long distance… I am from your “Melbourne friends of friends” group… lol… I am overseas for business….. I’ve never been married… I don’t have kids…
I think just the fact ur not some rando from a dating app and you’re the Melbourne group’s friend of friends has her extremely calm….
Oh… interesting…
After all these years… I dunno I guess it feels more reliable? Dependable? Is that the right word for it?
(Chuckles)… I’m gonna meet her very soon babe.
Lol… I hope u do too… 😘❤️
