I was once friends with a girl who had ten tattoos, all of which were matching tattoos with other girlfriends. She’s no longer friends with any of them. Two big red flags there- intense codependent friendships, many enemies/falling outs with past friends. She even tried to get me to do a matching tattoo with her once. No thanks.

Comedy and tragedy masks. The first three people I hooked up with had them in places you couldn’t see with clothes on. Apparently, I have a type. If I unwrap another human and find one, I may faint.
