Fantastique ✨💍 #ItsAllFamily

Transcript

If she'd take a harsh truth over a kind lie, fantastic. Tier the world thinks she's an introvert, but her family thinks she's a total nuts case, fantastic. If she can take accountability when things go wrong instead of looking for someone or something to blame, Fantastique. If she speaks no language perfectly, but four languages well enough just to get by, Fantastique. If she befriends slowly and selectively and not quickly and superficially, fantastique. If she has friend group diversity and her whole friend group do not look, yes, and speak the same way, fantastic. If she wants more from life than Aloe Pilates' matcha, fantastic. If she has the ambiguous international school accent, fantastic. If she enjoys the modest hole in the wall restaurants as much as the fancy schmancy, shikimiki restaurants, fantastic. If she's never owned a la boo boo, fantastic. If she's comfortable talking about prices, savings, and finances, fantastic. And if she's clearly aware of her desires and does not budge just because she's met someone new tier.
