I have a bad habit of falling in love with friends. There's something comfortable about it, something safe and calming and warm. But when my last relationship ended, I rolled my eyes at and quoted Mt. Joy: "Guess I'll have to fall in love with strangers." It hasn't happened yet, and when I get frustrated by that fact, I'll sing along, loud and off key, to Strangers.

The tenderness of her voice is absolutely beautiful and the lyrics just shred my heart into little pieces in the best way possible.
Isn't it strange
How people can change
From strangers to friends
Friends into lovers
And strangers again?

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.
βBeat 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 youβ
I like the simplicity!

A song delving into the heart of the listener. The longing for understanding and compassion from others is something I think most people have felt at some point, but this song evokes such raw emotions.
Play it in a car with the windows down and belt your heart out.

I'm a July baby. Growing up, I spent most of my birthdays alone. Some years because my friends had left the country. Some years because I'd left the country. Some years because I had no friends. And with every year passing, the pressure to spend my birthday surrounded by friends and family and to have a good time increased. Every year I felt like a failure when I couldn't make it happen. So I stopped telling people it's my birthday.
But today is my 28th birthday.

I hadn't seen my friend since New Year's Eve. Now it was October, her wedding day, and she barely gave me the chance to gush over her gorgeous dress, her makeup, her jewelry.
"You look happier," she said. "Your energy has changed. It's much calmer now. I'm happy for you."
I love her for taking the time out of her special day to notice me like that.

"If the two of you are so good together, why don't you make a move?" my friend asked me in a dream about the guy I was ever so slowly falling for. Those words echoed through my mind for months, from the first date till the final breakup.
