Back towards the end of pregnancy with my son, there were a couple of songs that stuck with me that I decided were songs that he liked from within the womb. This was one of those songs. I still have never listened to another song by this band, but I sing it to him every night.
It is not really a love song, definitely not a song for a child, but it is one of my songs for him. I had a two day labor with him, it was a very long and intense experience. It’s hard to describe the mixture of sleeplessness, hormones, drugs, and absolute beyond anything I’ve ever felt love I was experiencing. I hear this song and I’m just taken back to those middle of the night wakings, walking around with him, so utterly in love.

You and your dad are dancing in the kitchen
Life is slowing down, but it's still bitchin'
I got myself a rod, but I could break it
My back is still as strong as I can make it
Plus you're mine
So who would rush right through it, child of mine?
I’m not even listening to the song rn because I’m nursing my daughter to sleep but you bet I’m weeping just hearing it in my head 🥲 thank you Laura Marling, life IS still bitchin’ just in a different way.

Still no regrets about my abortion.
And the song that helped me through it.

This has become the norm and every day I grow more disturbed. I understand if somebody is behaving in a harmful way, that is good to document and put out there. But as a whole, it seems, we have become so comfortable with recording people just living their lives. I saw a video of a guy working and the caption of the video was that he was so hot, we needed to find him!!! Why are you providing the Internet with his face and location instead of just going up to talk to him? I saw another of two people on the subway, seemingly a couple, having a very emotional moment. How would you feel if you open up an app and saw a video like that of yourself? I don’t like this level of sibling society surveillance. Why are you videoing an elderly person with sad music dubbed over it to gain likes? It is WEIRD. Don’t even get me started on videos of children. It is WEIRD to use a stranger without their consent to get some kind of fake validation. Get a life.
I don’t mean to come on here and share something so negative, I just don’t have anywhere else to put it and it’s gnawing at me.
