Recently, I noticed this trend on IG Reels where groups of friends would exchange phone cases before departing to their travel destination. I have always wanted to do that, but I didn't have a friend group that allowed me to do that.
How funny and sad this sounds.
I think choosing weird phone cases that might unexpectedly fit my friend's vibe is a lovely idea. I have always been the kind of person who enjoys gifting; sadly, I couldn't do this because I'm afraid of what they might think upon my request.
Is it an weird activity?
Will they enjoy the activity as much as I do?
Will they feel like it's not worth to spend money on stupid things like these?
Deep down I know,
my friends would've entertained my idea.
But also on the inside,
I would feel so guilty, thinking they may not have liked the idea.
I would also worry if they'll think of me as a "social media influencer wannabe",
for wanting to hop on the trend.
I already had very few friends to start with,
and I didn't want to risk losing the ones I had left.
Guess I'll just have to leave my little dream here...
