off the top of my head —
1. alone again (naturally) by gilbert o’sullivan. this one is obvious it’s super depressing
2. izzat love? by todd rundgren. i associate this song with my mom because todd is her favorite and i learned to love him through her, so it just makes me want to hug my mom
3. our house (demo) by graham nash and joni mitchell. sobbed listening to this on repeat when i was really lonely after i moved out into my first apartment

in absence of romantic heartbreak, I am begging weeping and longing for friendships, family, getting older, random observations in nature now
i mostly played ds games as a kid but for some reason this pc game that i used to play at my parents’ enormous iMac G3 comes to mind. it’s a point and click adventure game where you’re a little anthropomorphic detective fish with a sidekick named luther (nothing funnier to a seven-year-old than a fish named luther). i think the one i played was freddi fish and the case of the haunted schoolhouse, which was juuuust creepy enough to interest me while still being age appropriate
so many fond childhood memories here, begging to get cookies after day camp at the cathedral of st. john the divine <3 highly recommend going here for a hamantash or a slice of black forest cake and a cup of coffee to write/read/people watch. it gets crazy busy on weekends though
