I was bussin' with excitement when I saw the pfp of my friend’s glow up on my FYP. No cap, she’s been slaying lately, and I was like, "Yasss, that’s a major W!" But then, she texted me and said the party was a vibe check—the drip was on point, but the music was pure cringe. I was like, "Bruh, how is that even possible?" She said the DJ was simping for his ex, and the whole thing was just chuggy. I felt that FOMO hit hard, but I didn’t want to go because I didn’t wanna be the no way person in the corner.

Fr fr, sometimes it’s better to stay in and save yourself from a L.
