"I'm not in love
So don't forget it
It's just a silly phase I'm going through
And just because I call you up
Don't get me wrong, don't think you've got it made..."
a golden nugget from 1975 that makes me feel like i'm mourning some lost love while floating in outer space. the synths and the layered vocal harmonies are so mesmerizing and the "be quiet, big boys don't cry" whisper tickles my spine whenever i listen to this song with my headphones on 🌠

i've listened to this countless times, to the point where it's one of my most played songs on spotify, partly because i've fallen asleep to it.
i much prefer it to the original song by 10cc, which is a classic, i know; but this cover is just sung more devastatingly, over a haunting instrumental, that combined, sounds like yearning. something i may or may not indulge in…

Sexy, heartbreaking, lonely 70s guitar music.
highly recommend listening to it while walking around in the cold or staring aimlessly into space 👍

Joyce Manor is such a good band this song has been taking so much space in my brain recently. Constant Headache and Leather Jacket are my other two favs.
“Beat myself in to the ground
All I do is hang around
Nothing I could do or say
Is ever gonna make you wanna stay
And all I ever wanted was
To say "I think I'm still in love"
And even though it isn't true
I think I'm still in love with you
And even if it isn't right
I still gotta put up a fight
You could leave me black and blue
I think I'm still in love with you”
I like the simplicity!

I adore finding a random video from like 2005 and reading through the comments the way a historian would examine an old manuscript from the 1700s. Are these people still active YouTube users? Or are they forgotten accounts? What did @jjlwis mean by "awww im gonna miss rob too!!!" ? Who even is Rob?? Anthropology in the digital age... so many questions... it's fascinating.
The important thing for me is not to add new comments. I feel like I'm disturbing an old archeological dig site and my sticky modern commentary will make the video crumble away into oblivion. More importantly, I don't want the algorithm to suggest the video to a bunch of people who will spam the comments section– major yuck 🤢

early 80s to early 2000s truck models are the perfect sizes imo. current trucks are transformer-sized behemoths that could easily crush normal vehicles into smithereens upon impact and i legit don’t know how those things are even street-legal. also, idk if it’s their design, reliability or the nostalgia factor per-se, but there’s a certain sazón those older trucks have that newer ones don’t.

with social media being this pervasive entity that has weeded its way into our daily routines for the past 20ish years (plus a global pandemic that really solidified those habits), many young adults today have spent a large amount of their lives living online. it has become the new norm and i’m not gonna pretend i’m above any of this because it’s so easy to fall into it (i am literally writing this rec on my phone whilst it’s a perfectly sunny day that i should probably go out to enjoy).
with that being said, in the larger scheme of life, being in your 20s is still in a weird way the beginning stages of your life. it’s a period to try new things, make mistakes, learn from them and develop an identity that’s independent from the environment and people who raised you. though you can learn to do some of those things online, they don’t hold a candle to actually experiencing those things for yourself in real life.
all in all, the best way to not sleep thru your 20s is to prioritize in-person experiences that allow you to get a better understanding of yourself and your values. whether that be getting your first tattoo, moving to a new city or country, exploring your personal style or taking up hobbies you couldn’t or would‘ve never done as a kid, this is an important formative time to venture out and get a sense of who you truly are.
