Festina lente

Make haste slowly.

To do things the proper way instead of hurriedly and heedlessly; to see urgent things through in a thorough manner.
Translated from Latin to English, 'festina lente' means literally 'make haste slowly'; this translation also sounds a lot better than 'hurry slowly'.

Festina

Festina’s are those type of friends who spill the tea or hear the tea. They loveee the drama. There also fighters. At one point she might seem she like a physco, but she’ll come back to normal. She will always be there for you. She will support. But say something wrong about her and you get your ass kicked. She is really wired. She will make you laugh scared. She is pretty and ugly.... jkjk
Festina is a real friend
