Why Is This So Accurate It's Like Someone Read My Journal 😭

This is so cute T^T

ENHYPEN AS TYPES OF COUPLES

genre: pure fluff

notes: hello! this is my first writing piece and i'm nervous as heck! i really hope you guys enjoy it and feedback is always appreciated <3

☆ HEESEUNG

the chill couple.

sometimes people even forget that you guys are there LMAO.

you guys can be found cuddling on the nearest couch or occupying the living room area just to watch Netflix.

probably the couple that everyone seeks out for advice or comfort since you guys rarely get into fights.

but third-wheeling with both of you is painful because the time spent with each other created a secret language between you two that has people more confused than ever.

summarizing, you two live in your own peaceful bubble.

☆ JAY

the total-opposites couple.

it was quite shocking when you and jay (in totally unexpecting timing) announced that you were a couple.

It was just confusing how two people from completely different sides of the spectrum, came to find each other and fall in love in a sea of far more compatible suitors.

and as much people judge the love you held for jay and vice-versa, you two didn't care at all.

knowing that most of the time, different personalities could crash in the most catastrophic way and end heartbroken. jay and you were the exceptions.

a less cliche way to say "the opposites attract"

in fact, you considered the relationship being the most healthy you have ever been.

the difference of personalities created a satisfying balance that keep you two on your toes.

☆ JAKE

the 'couple goals' couple.

the title already explains it, you and jake are THE couple.

that makes everyone bubble with jealousy by the simple act of lacing your fingers together, bringing each other's favorite coffee, or just having matching lock screens.

jake's phone having a picture of the two of you cuddling, lara jean and peter style!

in general, just making the single crowd wish that they had a dynamic with someone as perfect as you two.

and in some rare cases, even the fellow couples get frustrated with your almost rom-com relationship.

to give an example, jake being the gentleman he is, always chooses to take your shopping bags rather than have you carrying unnecessary weight. which has you flustered and a stuttering mess every time, but we won't talk about that.

couples see this and give their significant other the 'why-won't-you-do-the-same-thing-for-me-you-idiot' look.

☆ SUNGHOON

the best-friends couple.

with sunghoon chaotic energy, it was expected that he would find an even more crazy person to match his energy.

it's always a party when the two of you are around, only the lucky close ones surviving in the loud environment that doubled when you started dating sunghoon.

and although you two go on dates and make things every other relationship does, the first reaction people would have at the sight of you two playfully wrestling, is how cute your friendship is.

don't take it in the wrong way though!

is just not expected that the two people fighting over a product in the candy section of the store are more than strangers really passionate about pepero.

or in this case, having a wrestling match.

you guys should really consider going pro

but after sunghoon cages you below him and plants a soft peck on your lips you can bet on the shocked faces of the people who thought you two were just really close friends.

☆ SUNOO

the adorably affectionate couple.

I don't think it comes as a surprise that the cute ball of light that is sunoo, would have an even cuter relationship with a matching adorable person like you.

although physical touch is ni-ki's love language, the affection shared between you two doesn’t make anyone uncomfortable.

quite the opposite, makes everyone feel the love and happiness that radiates the cupid-struck couple.

the constant happy giggles, and whispered praise can be heard from miles away.

people are so used to it that it literally became a tracking sign used whenever someone wants to locate you two

with the ethereal happily aura that surrounds you two, people can't help but think the same thing every time you two are on eyesight: they’re just the cutest!!

☆ JUNGWON

the destined-to-be-together couple.

okay, i know this as a really cliche trope but I LOVE IT.

you two were always, constantly, regularly, and repeatedly shipped together in the minds of EVERYONE.

friends knew in the back of their brains that you two would be perfect for each other.

and it seemed like the universe was in favor too

because no matter what, you guys were always in each other's life.

in need of comfort after a bad breakup? jungwon is there.

he is in desperate help of a new roommate? oh, look! you are there as well.

fate was constantly playing tricks on you two, that in a certain moment everything fell into place.

and it was like you two were seeing each other in a different light.

because sometime later you moved into jungwon's apartment,

and this time not as a roommate but as a partner.

☆ NIKI

the very-alike couple.

same interests, the same circle of friends, same passion. that's how you came to know niki.

it was a breath of fresh air to meet someone who understands you on such a deep level.

slightly shocking really, niki knows you like the back of his hand, and vice-versa.

you could say the relationship bloomed quite fast, but after spending five hours speaking to the boy you just met at the local cafe, you found yourself longing for his presence and easy aura constantly.

some can call your relationship basic, no opposites attract, no love at first sight or no major plot twist like the cheesy romance movies you two watch in lazy afternoons.

just two people who came to learn about each other and realized the chemistry they have every time their gazes accidentally lock at any social gathering.

simple and effortless, that is how you can describe the heartwarming relationship you have with the boy you came to love.

Jack Gilbert, from Collected Poems; "Waking at Night"

literally though if you feel like your life is slipping through your fingers and every day goes too fast… try doing hard things, not just taking the easy route, like reading and making art and exercising and cooking a meal from scratch and journaling, doing these things without distraction, without being absorbed on a screen… the time will stretch and you’ll be reminded that life is long and beautiful if you make it so.

Evelyn Waugh, from Brideshead Revisited (1945)

I LOVE being alive so I can be mediocre at SO many different hobbies

“i don’t like writing about my day, but i want to keep a journal”:

quotes and copywork. when reading, if you find something you enjoy, just copy it into the notebook. you can copy a whole chapter if you wish, highlighting what caught your attention the most.

definitions. look up on a dictionary and copy it. you could write your own dictionary as well, making up definitions for words.

lists. a classic, write movies to watch, books to read, the playlist of the month or just the groceries you have to buy.

maps. when going somewhere, you could draw the route you took or just a map of the place itself. just look up the place on google maps and copy it. you can draw a little map of all the places you have lived or the schools you have attended as well.

photos

take “notes” as you watch movies / documentaries. write down phrases that caught your attention or doodle.

illustrations and clippings. if you see an image or piece of art that you liked, put it in your journal. if it’s from a book or from a magazine I would recommend scanning it, tho’. it will serve as a record of what kind of art you enjoy through the years.

newspaper clippings from the day.

tickets and pamphlets. from movies, museums, transportation.

postcards

records. you could record for a month what the temperature was when you woke up and when you went to sleep. if you do that for a year, it gives you a better notion of the passing of seasons. you could record rainfall and other seasonal changes as well. you could choose something (an animal, a plant, an item or object) and write down every time you see it.

rubbings of leaves, coins, landmarks.

count. there’s a scene in the movie Coraline (2009) where Coraline’s dad tells her to go count the windows. you could do the same type of counting game if you are bored and write down.

mindmaps/sketchnotes + timelines of books, movies, music albums.

collages

pressed leafs and flowers

your collections. if you collect anything you could write down an inventory or maybe try to draw the items.

recipes. write down recipes and give it a score every time you try it. you could do the same for drinks you try out.

stickers

comic strips. you can find a bunch of it online, glue your favorites in your notebook.

Mieko Kawakami, from 'Heaven'

Its okay if you dont have your whole life together by a certain age. Life is not a script you should follow in order to have everything be perfect (without it containing any changes whatsoever). You still have time to learn, you still have time to love, you still have time to find out, explore and see. Don't be afraid to take your time to achieve your goals and shape your life the way you want it, but also don't forget to stop and enjoy the beauty you might find on the way.

-Lydia Davis, from Essays One

What is the difference between a cathedral and a physics lab? Are they not both saying: Hello?
