yk what I love? that the first text we have written by a woman in England was a Roman woman inviting her best friend to her birthday
it’s from Claudia Severa to Sulpicia Lepidina and dated to around 97-105 AD. I find it so comforting to know that even almost 2000 years ago people had friendships like these and wanted to spend their birthday together.
staying up until 1am with your friends is like. wow we’re so fucking cool we’re so fucking badass we should go on a road trip or become famous or maybe hang out here forever because i dont wanna be anywhere that isnt with you guys im so full of love and joy and a live fast die young mentality. and staying up until 1am by yourself is like. for the third time this year i am genuinely contemplating suicide. good thing i dont have the executive function to clean up my room
