Every couple has little inside jokes and references that they use in certain situations to laugh together.

Sometimes I run into situations that my ex and I would describe in a certain way, then remind myself of her and feel an urge to call just to let her know.

But then I have to remind myself how she made me feel and resist the urge by keeping myself distracted with work.

Pretty sure that our parents and grandparents had similar moments too, except that it was harder for them to communicate with their exes (letters, calling from a phone they shared with others) so they didn’t do it because it required extra effort.

Now it’s too easy to send an instant text message and get yourself into a situation that you will soon regret. Stay strong, kings! 👑

Dont you fall for that trap bro.

Stay strong brother!!

Hope you feel better soon. Ice cream is good.

Got any recommendations for ice cream?

Avoid anything with weird ingredients like “Carob bean gum” or “Carrageenan”.

I like Hagen Dazs Strawberry.

I can’t find that brand of ice cream in my country 🥲

In that case, make your own:

"I blend an egg (warmed to 40 degrees C) with a cup of sugar (also warmed) and a cup of coconut oil until it's smoothly emulsified, and maybe half a cup of powdered milk for extra texture, then add milk to fill the blender (total volume a little over a liter), with strong coffee or orange juice for flavor, or other fruit or vanilla, etc. The high oil content, and powdered milk, make it freeze without crystallizing, so the ice cream machine isn't necessary."
