NOT SO BERRY

ASTRID: Hey, thanks for coming with me today! I know the kids have been wanting to go out and this place is so beautiful, I already know Lyla is off chasing butterflies somewhere. 

TESSA: No problem! I remember my parents took us here one summer and my dad actually proposed to my mom somewhere around here. It’s one of my favourite memories.

NOT SO BERRY

Tess reached up and cradled Astrid’s face in her hand. “Listen, you’re not alone! I care, Grayson cares and even though your siblings don’t call you that much, they care. I live with your brother, he talks about you all the time and how he misses you.”

Astrid released a small sigh. “Thank you for that. I know I probably seem like I’m overreacting but I can’t help it.”

“Don’t apologize, Astrid. Your feelings matter. Don’t let anyone ever make you feel otherwise.” Tess told her friend. “How about we go to the park Saturday? You can bring the kids and spend some time with them, it’ll be fun!”

With a smile, Astrid nodded her head. “I’d like that.”

// ngl, i almost made them kiss but it felt a little too inappropriate. tess and astrid are best friend goals, and maybe couple goals too but we’ll see. 😉

NOT SO BERRY

After blowing out the candles, Astrid took a seat at the bar. 

Tess noticed the sullen expression on her best friend’s face and sat beside her. “I know you’ve been feeling down lately, so if there’s anything that you want to talk about, you can come to me.” 

Astrid glanced at Tess and sighed. She could feel tears boiling on the brim of her eyelids and all the pent up emotions constricting in her chest. Instead of talking about them, she simply used her punching bag for release but that only worked for so long. 

“I guess I just feel lost,” The silver-haired woman began, a single tear leaving a burning trail down her cheek. “Ever since Eduardo, I just feel like not many people care about me. My siblings don’t call, my friends are too busy for me and it seems like I’m all alone sometimes. My parents both died when I was just a teenager and even then we were never close. I always wanted a strong relationship with my children to make up for the one I never got with my mom and dad but it just isn’t like that.”

Tess grabbed her best friend’s hand in hers. “You’re not alone, Astrid.” 

// my writing is a bit off in this only because i just woke up and my brain isn’t functioning properly yet! if something doesn’t make sense, i am very sorry lol.

This is what Iris looks like while making mac n’ cheese. Honestly, me too! 

// sorry if my screenshots look a little weird, i’m trying to edit them a bit more but the lighting is off and i don’t play on max settings in sims. i use pixlr for editing so if anyone knows how to slap a decent filter over my photos or can tell me if i can use psd’s in gimp or pixlr please let me know!
