Hahah this is TOO good. Made me smile and feel less like an isolated case. I bet you were the only fun part about the dates you’ve been on. The dating pool this age is just … Loved this so much.

Unblocking your ex made me wince. I know this one. If we've both made this mistake, do we cancel each other out and it disappears?

YES. It definitely, definitely does. So now, actually, we’re both absolved and are free to make another silly mistake soon (one that hopefully doesn’t involve terrible men)

I need to know what the Netflix series is! (I believe you!)

Hahahaha, it was Kaos. Now the important thing is, I know me having actually drafted my idea would change nothing about this situation, it’d still be sitting in a notebook while the actual Kaos on Netflix reigns supreme… but I would’ve had something to point at for proof I’d also had a good idea, y’know? 🥲🥲 (and thank you for reading!)

Point 1. Did...did you lie on it? I am genuinely curious as to what happened.

Point 2. Sounds like something I would do, given my anxious/impatient tendencies.

Point 3.... no comment. One needs to go on dates first.

Point 4. I think the jeans thing is for everyone...or atleast, for most people.

Point 5. You and me both, sister.

Point 7. You...what. WHAT?? Do I need to start sharing my collections now also? Oh My God.

Not gonna lie, after point 7, Isabell.exe is experiencing technical errors.

So (luckily) nothing happened. I just spend a few nights cradling it on the sofa to warm up and then my flatmates caught me and told me all about physics and why I shouldn’t be doing that.

Thanks so much for reading!! 💕
