Armand: I didn't know you work with this too, Serena.
⠀
Julia: Or you, I'm sorry but I don't know your name, but you're in our yoga class, aren't you?
Keiko: Yes, I'm Keiko.
Serena: We're a bit short on staff.
⠀
Julia: I need advice. I've noticed that my best friend has a crush on me, but I don't feel the same. What do I do?
Armand: Maybe I'm not the best person to ask, I woohooed with my best friend, and we're just friends.
Patina: And I have never been in a relationship.
⠀
Julia: We live together and we celebrated both Winterfest and New Year's Eve together, so it's starting to get a bit awkward.
Armand: Maybe you could just tell them that you've noticed, and say that you're not interested?
⠀
Julia: But I don't want to hurt her feelings.
⠀
Armand: Something my therapist often says to me is "you choose for you". You shouldn't have to feel uncomfortable about something just because of someone else. Pick the option that would make the situation better for you.
⠀
Julia: I guess hurting her feelings is the only way then…
⠀
Grace: Lin-Z, is it alright if I send you some code to check? It won't compile.
Lin-Z: Of course!
⠀
Lin-Z: Let us see… You missed a semicolon on line 59.
Grace: Thank you!
Lin-Z: You are welc-… *shuts down*
⠀
Grace: Oh? So you're here again, Flower?
Flower: I heard Lin-Z's voice.
⠀
Flower: Sul sul, Lin-Z, how are you doing?
⠀
Grace: Flower, please, they're still not interested in you and they will continue to ignore you until you stop flirting with them.
Flower: And what do you know about flirting!?
⠀
Tomax: If there's someone who knows something about flirting, it would be Grace. Do you know how many partners she has?
Flower: No.
Grace: Let's not turn them into mere numbers.
⠀
Tomax: Point is, she understands boundaries well and can manage several relationships.
Flower: Wait, is that why you lock me out of here so often? You are doing hanky-panky! Ew!
Grace: Don't be so judgemental.
Tomax: You're not the only one who gets locked out every now and then.
⠀
Morgan: I just have to ask, are you not interested in love? Most people are, but you don't seem to be.
⠀
Beren: Not the first time I've heard that. Sure, I haven't felt ready for a relationship, but it's not like I'm not interested. Do I give off the vibe that I'm not interested at all?
Morgan: Oh, I see…
⠀
Morgan: Who's the lucky one?
Beren: What?
⠀
Morgan: The way you said "haven't felt ready" kinda makes it sound like you're ready now, and maybe even have found someone you like.
Beren: No, I haven't found someone… and I'm not sure if I'm ready for a romantic relationship, but…
⠀
Morgan: Did we just lose to the computer?
Beren: Sorry, I got distracted…
⠀
Beren: Ugh. Why does Morgan have to be so good at noticing things?
⠀
Beren: I'm glad that she was so focused on the game that she forgot that I was in the middle of a sentence.
⠀
Beren: It's getting so difficult to concentrate on things! Again!
⠀
Beren: Different reason than before, but still annoying. I'm glad that distracting myself from thoughts about my past helped, but I didn't expect this outcome. Are other people like this? I'm not used to feeling this desperate.
⠀
Beren: I want my first relationship… Well, hopefully my only relationship, but most people go through more than one in their lifetime, so we gotta be realistic… But anyway, I want it to be a romantic one, but I don't think I can do that yet.
Serena is your favorite local yogi. Except when she’s not. She can tell you the best spot in town to get a workout in but she’ll also tell you about this new essential oil she started using last week that you just NEED to try.
+ serena sinclair21, pansexual // never hearing the word no. getting everything that could be desired in the world. sloppy kisses and nights spent without any clothes on. absolutely unaware of what’s happening all around, but not unintelligent in the slightest.
