It was a warm afternoon when my friend Nica and I met at our favorite milk tea shop called Bon Appetea.
They have a cozy little place and serve freshly brewed tea and sweet treats.
As I saw Nica, she was visibly excited and a bit nervous as she approached me with a bright smile.
She said she was craving something sweet.
So we decided to order two White Mocha Dreams Milk Teas with egg pudding.
It was rich, creamy, and perfect for the hot weather.
As we sipped on our drinks, Nica suddenly looked serious.
She took a deep breath and started to share her worries.
She's been thinking about her relationship.
She wants to end things with her boyfriend!
She said they're not as happy as they used to be, and she felt like she was exhausted.
She looked at me for support, her eyes searching for reassurance.
And so I gently said, "Breaking up is tough, but sometimes, it's the best thing for both of you especially if it's not working anymore."
Nica added that she felt her boyfriend had been distant lately. They argue a lot, and she doesn't see a future with him if things keep going that way.
I then assured her that it's okay to be honest about how she feels. And that it's okay to prioritize her happiness.
Whatever she wants, I'll support her all the way.
She smiled feeling a little lighter.
After that conversation, we finished our drinks and decided to head home.
Nica still wants to go with me so we plan to invite our other friends for a night of bonding.
With positive replies, the plans were set.
When we arrived home, we started cleaning up a bit, setting out cushions and snacks.
That night turned out to be perfect, full of fun, bonding, and a little bit of heartfelt sharing, especially for Nica as she felt supported by everyone.
This day was truly special and uplifting.
It strengthens our friendship and leaves everyone with happy memories.
Until our next day of great company... Buh-bye. 👋🥰
