I know it isn't good to look up to celebrities, but something about Mac Demarco absolutely entranced me from the minute I first listened to one of his songs.
It was 2019 on a hot summer night. I was alone on my deck, having just taken acid for the very first time an hour and a half prior. The mutual friend I got it from texted me a recommendation that I listen to 'Ode to Viceroy" once I hit peak, and so I stuck my headphones in my ears and turned it on. I think I absorbed every single note in that song on a molecular level right then and there. I really got into his music over the next year, and enjoyed watching interviews and whatever other content about him had been put out.
I've unfortunately never gotten the chance to see him live, and I'm not sure if he will ever perform again on a tour nearby where I live, but a girl can dream. I had hopped on the bandwagon a bit too late I fear. Oh well, I still love all the music he puts out, regardless if he tours again or not. He just seems like such a fun guy, and seems to keep things weird and real. The way things ought to be.

I used to listen to him a lot more when i was younger, but iāve been picking him back up recently along with steely dan. A bit hungover and laying like a cat on the warm concrete listening to Finally Alone and Hey Nineteen. This type of music is what girls who grew up on 70s yacht rock fw now a days. Grab yourself a friend w a boat, a day off from work, and a nice juicy watermelon slice.

Itās incredible how many people genuinely think they are boring. There have been so many times Iāve spoken with people and they confess that they think that they havenāt done much with their life, or that they donāt have much interesting to talk about, but itās almost never the case.
From what I can tell, itās often caused by a lack of knowing thyself. Or maybe a low self esteem? Iāve been through it too, and it is so so not true for anyone.
Youāve done so much living. Why do you feel like your story is not worth telling? I know youāve gone through some crazy shit once or twice. if you really havenāt, whatās stopping you from getting out there and creating stories to talk about? Start small! go to a coffee shop once a week. See if they have any clubs to join, and try that out! youāll be making memories in NO TIME.
If you have trouble finding meaningful/fun conversation, just remember that the effort must flow both ways. You are merely just working with what the other person is providing you, and if they arenāt giving you anything to work with, itās not your fault. You arenāt boring, you are just around people who dont vibe with you. And thatās okay! Not every person is going to be your specific kind of person. Plus, if you arenāt having fun talking to them, why does it matter if they like you? the much cooler people who value your input are just around the corner. I promise.
One day youāll be able to shine your beautiful personality on someone who is equally as bright you are, you magnificent comet, you.

Nostalgia is so powerful. And so painful.
Iāve made Pinterest boards filled with hundreds of memories and toys and things that shaped my childhood. Iāve made playlists that include only songs that make me feel 6 years old again. Iāve watched movies that bring me the same wonder they did as when I watched them as a child.
But nothing will ever truly bring me back there. Itās gone forever. to know that I will never walk the halls of my elementary school building, or try and plant an apple seed in between the slides of the playground, or play tag with my best buddies ever again is something unbearable. life is so short. I miss it all of the time.
Adulthood has its perks as well. I never have to ask to go sleep over at a friends house and get told no. I can eat what i want. I can get a kitten if I feel like it. But I miss the simplicity and happiness of being a child. I miss just existing and being okay with that. i miss how I felt when I was 6, but I have to accept that I must leave that behind.
Maybe reincarnation is real. Maybe I will live through something like this life again?
There is an ache knowing I will never walk the same tiny footsteps as I once did. But alas, Iāll be 19 years from where Iām at now and miss this age just as much as I do then. The ache will take a new shape. And i will continue living on.

My favorite thing in getting to know new people is finding out the things they enjoy that seem a bit out of character. I think itās comforting and a bit sexy when not everything that they like has to be ācoolā for them to really enjoy it. Being self-assured and knowing your worth is hot.
After all, life is too short to try and shape yourself around a mould that doesnāt truly resonate with you. Just enjoy the things that bring you joy without caring if they are basic or lame to others. you can enjoy the band that everyone hates, enjoy the movies that people think are overrated, and wear the shirt that went out of style 5 years ago.
true authenticity is a rare trait, always has been. Itās like striking gold when you find that inner peace to just be yourself, regardless of how cringy others find it. Find the peace to like what you like without shame.
