my dad randomly sat us down today and said he’s seriously thinking about moving back home (greece) 😭

i KNOW i should be mature about it because he has valid reasons and adult stuff to think about but this place is literally home to me ☹️ i was born and raised here. all my memories are here. my friends are here. even the random roads and grocery stores feel attached to me at this point 😭

apparently part of it is business related because he wants to move his company headquarters out eventually. he was explaining taxes and ownership laws and politics of the country where his companies are and something about not feeling right morally giving money to yk what (isnotreal) through taxes and i was sitting there like 🙂 i understand none of this

then he explained that if he moves and expands certain things here in kwt, a huge percentage would legally have to go under a kuwaiti partner and he thinks it’s unfair after building everything himself

which okay i GET IT logically 😭 but also excuse me???? no????? i wanna be heree

and my mom was being all calm about it saying “change can be beautiful” while im mourning places that still exist 💔

ive literally been tearing up on and off all day because what do u mean i might not grow up here anymore ☹️

also greece is beautiful and i love it there but it feels different when it’s “vacation home and enjoy with grandparents and family ” vs “pack your entire life and leave”

my little sisters are excited btw 😐 so its not even like all of us can go ask him to change his decision yk?

idk. maybe im being dramatic but this genuinely made my mood off lol 💔

some of us who knew ash are putting together a small digital memory/scrapbook book for his parents (itll be a month without him in a few days) and wanted to ask if anyone wanted to add smth

could literally be:

• a memory
• smth he always said
• a funny moment
• screenshots
• islamic reminders/lectures he shared (a lot of his posts got deleted so we cant find them anymore)
• things he loved
• random little habits or moments
• or honestly anything else that reminds u of him

if u wanna contribute, the form link is attached 🤍

pls keep everything respectful since this is gonna be gifted to his family.

i tried explaining a greek joke to one of my friends once and halfway through i realised i sounded insane

because in my language, it’s just one sentence and everyone laughs

but in english: “okay wait the wording matters”, ''the tone matters'', “i promise it sounds funnier when my grandpa says it”, “ there’s context behind this ”, ''its acc funny how do i explain it to u''

and then i feel stupid for laughing 🥀

worse when they hit u with the polite “ohh haha 😭”

DONT PITY LAUGH AT IT THE JOKE D13D ALREADY 💔

comment and people will:

1- guess wut ur laugh sounds like

2- tell u what song matches ur energy

3- tell u what animal sidekick youd hv in a movie

there, i gave yall 3 of these. get to work cuz this sub is sooo ded 😭💔

my baby sister (youngest) is turning 6 in a few hours and i am not okay

we have this family tradition where right before midnight everyone (siblings and parents) holds the birthday person for the last time as their current age.

so tonight she is still 5… for a few more hours.

i held her and it just hit me that this is literally the last time she’s 5 years old.

she was just talking and giggling like normal in her pjs, asking for details on her cake, what she wants to do tomorrow, completely unaware that i’m crying over how fast she’s growing up 😭

she also said “am i still ur baby, eli?” 💔

i’m sitting here thinking how she used to be so tiny and now she’s already turning 6 like it’s nothing. i still remember being 10, waiting with my grandparents during covid, wearing a darn mask, waiting with the other 3 lil ones. dad told us not to touch her and still i grabbed her 🥹😭

anyways, saying this here cuz if i said it irl, ill end up crying harder lol.

chocolate or strawberry milk??

both my parents have exams in a few days and theyre not serious at all😭

my mom’s a doctor so she’s revising for some certification thing and my dad is studying for some important exam and BOTH of them keep lying about when they’ll start studying

my dad at 4 pm said “i’m gonna lock in now.” but later was watching a documentary. then at 6 pm he said “okay NOW i’m locking in.” but now at 7pm, hes making coffee and giving lectures to us that nobody asked for

and my mom keeps pretending she’s “just reviewing lightly.” meanwhile every surface in the house has medical notes on it. i keep finding weird diagrams and flashcards everywhere.

meanwhile i’m walking around the house confiscating phones from my little sisters because they keep distracting them. the youngest one wont stop showing dad cat videos and hes acc interested. mom is procrastinating cuz dad suggested they should re-organise the living room (even her focus is gone, she was doing so good before 😿)

and somehow THEYRE the ones usually telling US to focus 😐

last night i walked into the living room and both of them were asleep on the couch with open notes like exhausted uni students 💔😭

I was like aww they studied so hard. i kept aside their notes and realised that a movie was playing on that laptop 😭

comment and others will tell you what song u remind them of/your personality matches or wtv idk

(busy rn so pls answer each other. ty 😇)

sooo i finally finished that memory box thing i’ve been making since i was like 13 😭🎀

i’ve literally been writing letters to myself for every age until 100. some of them are serious and emotional and some are..not

but anyways last night i was organizing everything and suddenly realized wait…this is actually done now ☹️

the whole reason i started was bc one day i randomly got scared of forgetting my life when i’m older. not even huge important things, just tiny stuff. like what perfume i wore at 16, what songs i liked etc yk??

so obviously instead of being normal i created a whole future-me survival kit 😌

inside the box there’s tiny perfume vials, wrappers of candies i like, café receipts, little folded notes from class, polaroids, dried flowers, old bracelets, birthday candles, movie tickets, seashells and other stuff from vacations, lip gloss samples for each age that i used, hair clips, stickers from my journals, friends' names and pics, playlists written on paper, my hospital bracelets (even the baby one) and more 😭

and this 1 is weird asf dont judge but a strand of hair at each year cuz i wanna see the pre-grey hair era 😭

i also added little notes to explain things to future me so she doesn’t get confused

then i wrote this giant letter explaining literally EVERYTHING about me in case i ever get dementia or forget stuff one day :(

like my usual orders, favorite color depending on season, people i loved, foods i hate, what songs i like, habits, things i like, all my usernames lol, parents and sisters' fave stuff, things i never told anyone, all that stuff

and honestly it made me kinda emotional cuz one day i might forget these things but at least there’ll always be a version of me that remembered cuz past me already left breadcrumbs everywhere for her to find her way back 💔

(ill still add stuff but the letters are done 💌)

guys i cooked dinner today ALL BY MYSELF (no help this time i swear) 🎀

i made pasta and garlic bread and yk those little strawberry cups and i was feeling sooo professional the whole time like hello yes welcome to my restaurant ✨

my youngest sis even said ''eli cook this again tomorrow'' 🥹💗

AND EVERYONE ACTUALLY ATE IT

even my picky sister had seconds (or thirds cuz idk where the extra plate went) 😌

Happy Birthday angel🩷 u/moenel

today is officially your day so i hope everything feels brighter, softer, and happier around you 🌸

I hope u laugh a lot, take too many pictures, get spoiled with love, and hear the exact words your heart need 🎀

make sure u keep one tiny birthday wish to yourself before u blow out the candles 🕯

wishing u a year full of late night happiness, pretty memories, random smiles, and moments that feel like magic 🌙✨

hope this birthday treats u gently and beautifully because u truly deserve that 🧸

i went cycling by the beach track as usual cuz i was bored again and the weather was acc perfect 💗 barely anyone around, sky looked all pink and pretty and the wind was so cool so obviously i started singing cuz i thought i was alone

i had “Genie in a Bottle” playing and i was singing “my body’s sayinnn let’s goooo”🤩

AND THEN SOMEONE BEHIND ME SANG “BUT MY HEART IS SAYING NOOO” 😭😭😭

ISTG I ALMOST FELL OFF THE BIKE

i turned around so fast and there was this guy jogging behind me and he looked equally embarrassed after saying it 💔 like why did we both pretend nothing happened after that?? 😭

so i said ''hi'' awkwardly and he mumbled ''uh you too'' (????)

i sped away out of embarrassment but then my shoelace got stuck in the pedal so i had to stop 2 mins later anyway 🥀

never going outside again

edit: survival instincts of a frickin boiled egg, what if he was a kidnapper??!

guys my dad has fully lost his mind because of me. i js taught him some brainrot words and that was my biggest mistake

today I asked my mom if she wanted to join me for my ballet class cuz I thought it would be cute 💔🐣

before she could even answer my dad who was making coffee and supposedly running late for his meetings said “BALLERINA CAPPUCCINA 🕺☕”

i asked him to stop it and he wouldnt so i threw a cushion at him but it didnt hit him. and then he said ''negative aura'' 🥀

GROWN 36 YR OLD MAN BTW 😔👆

never ever teach any of these words to ur parents.

I need to talk about something openly because my therapist accidentally made me overthink today 💔

so we were talking about serious stuff and at the end like i was about to leaveand she was calling my dad, she randomly said "you text exactly the way you speak in real life”

and then she was like "your messages literally read like typed out voice notes” 😭

AND NOW IM OVERTHINKING SO BAD HELPPPP because i’ve heard this online AND irl before too 😭

like people always tell me "you type like you’re physically talking to someone” or “i can literally hear your tone through the screen” and even why are you always so hyped?

and apparently i over explain things a lot and type every thought as it happens 💔

BUT GUYS I SWEAR I DONT DO IT ON PURPOSE . that’s literally just how i talk since i was little. Even when my parents show me my old videos, I was rlly dramatic and expressive

my texts are genuinely just my real life thoughts copy pasted into words

i didn’t realize it was noticeable until people kept pointing it out 😭

now im sitting here wondering if my posts weird people out ykwim?

because I saw my previous posts and im like why did i type this like i was speaking directly into someone’s ear for 5 minutes straight??

if you met me irl you’d understand though because i literally speak EXACTLY like how I post here

So im sorry if i ever sound annoying on here btw. my brain just works like that 🥀
