When I was 13 my dad introduced me to Hole and I was instantly obsessed and that partially is what got me into songwriting. I still get full body chills from this performance now that I’m rewatching for the first time and I’m a music student writing a paper on the prose on this record

i was about 3 or 4 years old when my eldest sister was in middle school. everyday before school, she would watch mtv. i genuinely believe i gained sentience while watching the helena music video on mtv at like 6 in the morning while my sister got ready for school. this is one of my fondest (and probably my first) memories and mcr will forever mean so much to me

My dad made me the Joni Mitchell obsessed woman that I am today (1 of the few things I’ll give him credit for)

I'm a 12-year-old living in Ireland, up until this point, my musical taste was mostly confined to what played on the radio and whatever my mum enjoyed. While I did find some of her musical choices appealing – think Backstreet Boys, New Kids on the Block, and Whitney Houston, I didn't really think about music beyond something to sing and perform to.
(Side note Back in those days, I was quite the performer, often putting on dance routines and passionately singing along to tracks by the Backstreet Boys and the whole Aladdin soundtrack.)
However, my musical taste underwent a significant shift during the summer of that year when I traveled to London. At that time, my cousins were all about UK Garage, Hip Hop and RnB. It was there that they introduced me to the song "Fill Me In" by Craig David, and something about it just resonated with me. Maybe it was the intrigue and allure of sharing in my cousins' musical tastes, but it left an indelible mark on my musical taste, a fondness that remains unwavering to this day.
In fact, that experience prompted me to make my very first album purchase with my own money at HMV (Oxford Street). It was Craig David's “Born to do it”. And I didn't stop there; I also picked up "Pure Garage II" – a topic I'll delve into later because it's undeniably a perfect album.
As I immersed myself in these new sounds, I returned to Ireland with a newfound fascination for London's music culture and a determination to shape my own, unique music preferences.
(Listening to the album while I write this, “Walking Away” may be my my favourite song on the album)

I’m generally the type to get obsessed w a total loser who could care less about me and now that I finally decided to move on the sun is shining, the birds are chirping, the day is bright, and I have a skip in my step. Ready to learn how to be cool about it!

It’s so so easy to spiral and be negative but I have to keep myself realistic. The man that makes you miserable is not your soulmate!!! You are not actually the worst person in the world!!! You are allowed to fuck up like everyone else!!!! Being real w myself as I would w my best friends

I started doing this in October and it changed my life. I experience a total reset of my mind and mood - especially when the movie is really good. Though I love going with friends, there’s something therapeutic about enjoying good cinema. I try to allow myself this luxury once a month
