Genuinely one of my favourite albums of all time ā encapsulates the emotion of feeling somewhat empty yet free & full of opportunities. I cry every time I listen to it because this album basically ushered me into young adulthood when I first found it

This song always used to play at my single-motherās workplace, where I spent a lot of time as a wee gal. This song used to make me transcend and still does tbh. I feel so cool when Iām listening, like Iām walking Rick Owens during FFW. I spent a lot of time not knowing this song because it would make me physically ill when I heard it, the amount of nostalgia it would elicit in me. Life is too short to be weighed down by an appreciation of the past, look at it lovingly and with hope for an even better future.

This is my favorite song in the world. I remember what I was doing when I first heard it. I was making necklaces in my basement and I think this was in the summer of 2021.
Sometimes I feel like it hits too close to home because I never get over anything and Iām pretty sure Iāll be living in my parents house forever.
Despite that unfortunate reality, this song has yet to lose its magic. This song will always be my favorite.

The first time I heard it, which may have been recently, I felt like I had known this song my entire life, it could have been on some closing credits for a movie that never left my subconscious, maybe, or itās my inner child personified. Itās just like, been there this whole time.

i know it sounds so clichĆ© but i work for a climate organisation & i just came home from a work event so iām feeling very inspired/energised/refreshedā¦please find your community because it is tiring, draining, & almost impossible to drive social change alone. you donāt have to do it alone.
A community helps your cause. We protest, meet, rally, & cry in numbers for this reason. š

i really also think about how much boys are taught ways to perform masculinity & how it is legitimised through tangible things like building a career etc but with women i find that from a young age our identity, behaviours, & thoughts are always spoken about in relation to other people/things ā gender roles within the family, how weāre perceived by men, our friendships with other women, our relationships with material things etc etc ā and this shows up in the labels that women are often given too! so and so is someoneās daughter, girlfriend, wife, mother etc etc. i envy the freedom of boyhood so much, the freedom to just be (this is not to discount the toxicity of traditional masculinity, i just think that boys are still afforded more āplayā and therefore have more opportunities to develop their sense of self).
maybe i am also biased because of how iāve grown up & whatnot but i never really understood what it meant to quote unquote be a woman or perform femininity. i only saw this modelled within my nurturing friendships with women as iāve gotten older but when i was younger, in church it was always āok well donāt do this or that because x y z will happen to men if you doā or within my extended family it was often āare you seeing anyone? when are you having kidsā. damn what happened to asking about how iām doing or what my dreams are!!!
long rant sorry !! but thatās my long winded way of saying āi feel youā haha
