I have someone in mind as I listen to this, but itāll never happen. My unrequited love. So I will just feel feelings through music. You would think in your 40s you will be done with these feelings, but it is pervasive for some of us.
Allo darlinā - dreaming
will you go out with me tonight
lose it on a disco floor
take the night bus with me tonight
frost on the window
it's freezing out here on the pavement
but here in your arms
it's heaven
i can wait for you now
but not forever
i have tried everything i know
to make you understand
this is not a game for broken hearts
played by a lonely band
we've both got so much to lose
but here in your arms
it's heaven
i can wait for you now
but not forever
i was surprised by how happy i was
don't ask why it's just because
down by the harbour in the dawn
it's not a star it's a satellite
the thought of it keeps me from sleeping
or am i already dreaming?

tonight im all alone in my room,
iāll go in insane,
if you wonāt sleep with me iāll still be with you,
iām gonna meet you on the astral plane,

Every Valentineās Day I ask everyone who follows me on Instagram their fave long song. Mine, for the record, is If I Were A Carpenter, the Four Tops version though Bob Dylan has a great cover with The Band. Recently Iāve been obsessed with Just Drifting by Psychic TV and think itās one of the most romantic songs Iāve ever heard. Here is the responses Iāve got:
I Love You Honeybear - Father John Misty
Just The Way You Are - Billy Joel
This Guyās In Love With You - Faith No More
Danger High Voltage - Electric Six
Do You Realize - Flaming Lips
Yard Of Blonde Girls - Inger Lorre
Dolls In The Dark - Drab Majesty
Surrender - Suicide
Laid - James
Love Song - The Cure
Our Way To Fall - Yo La Tengo
Maps - Yeah Yeah Yeahs

My friend and I watch SATC and High Fidelity (2020) whenever we want to feel better about our romantic (and just general life choices).
If you like the world of Gilmore Girls, Freaks and Geeks is so comfortable to sit in. The characters feel like how real high schoolers (I dated a guy in high school a lot like Nick from this show and we all have, I think). The costuming and soundtrack is great, the midwestern vibes are comforting, and the acting is surprisingly raw and realistic for being a comedy series. Martin Starr has genius comedic timing.
Dollface is kind of a hidden gem! Kat Dennings is a gemini queen and she creates a really lush and intricate imaginary world in this show.
Community is perfect for pop culture nerds- the first season is like a lot of sitcom shows in that it takes a bit for them to hit their stride and find their audience. It does not use the mockumentary style like Parks & Rec and The Office, which gives the show more permission to be weird and far-away from reality.

I am also an introvert with ADHD! I find the simple hobbies that hold my interest are the ones that have an element of problem-solving because there is a definite start and end, along with plenty of yummy dopamine when you solve it! Solitaire is fun if you are really looking for something simple. Also, I carry a small book of crosswords with me at all times too, those hold my attention longer than physical books.
Audiobooks/podcasts about my current fixation + outside activity (like roller skating, walking, cycling, jogging, etc ...) = the only way I get myself outdoors these days. I use Libby instead of Audible because nothing is more punk rock than the public library.
Speaking of the library, I think they are an untapped resource for people! I am a photographer and I don't have the money to buy my own equipment at the moment, so I check out equipment from my library. You can check out instruments, games, video game consoles, I have even seen Tarot cards (which I might advise against that one, Tarot is too much of a personal process that is energetically sensitive to the individual, so getting public/second-hand cards can be tough)!
The best hobbies for me are the ones I can pick up without feeling too guilty about leaving behind just as quick, the attention is gonna go wherever she wants, I have no say. I try and wait to spend any large sum of money on a hobby I am not married to yet (like buying a bunch of yarn, a sewing machine, climbing gear, etc).
