soooo many songs mean a lot to me, but Wildflower always gets me emotional. It reminds me a lot of who I amāwho I wasāand what Iāve gone through.
One verse goes āI see her, in the back of my mind, all the time,ā and thatsās what growing up feels like to me. I hold who I was, who Iāve been, deep inside me, as I keep walking ahead.
The past may hurt, and I will never get rid of it, but I keep going.
Short story short, it motivates me to move forward!

to me itās always been kind of a sad song but itās also resoundingly hopeful
itās not been the best year but itās not been the worst, you know how it is- life kind of just happens.
i of course like the part :: ādonāt cryā¦ donāt raise your eyeā¦ itās only teenage wastelandā
i graduate this spring and thatās obviously a big milestone. being in high school is kind of uniquely miserable and beautiful at the same time. iām glad to move on but itās bittersweet
iām trying to stay in the present while also remembering that this is really āteenage wastelandā i.e: slums of adolescence.. what feels big now wonāt ever matter again.
things might feel empty and really suck, but you gotta keep moving forward. i guess thatās what i learned this year.
long rant over now š§āāļø

This is another one that just really hits and got me through one of the toughest times; it makes me feel very emotional every time and considering that itās from the Hannah Montana movie it is low-key embarrassing. Iām glad you asked this question because Iāve been reconnecting with the girl I was then and trying to honor her and the things she wanted for her life but didnāt think she deserved. So Iām having a bit of a full circle moment right now and feeling quite sentimental and touchedā¦
I can almost see it
That dream I'm dreaming
But there's a voice inside my head saying
You'll never reach it
Every step I'm taking
Every move I make feels
Lost with no direction
My faith is shaking
But I, I gotta keep trying
Gotta keep my head held high
There's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be an uphill battle
Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose
Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb
The struggles I'm facing
The chances I'm taking
Sometimes might knock me down, but
No, I'm not breaking
I may not know it
But these are the moments, that
I'm gonna remember most, yeah
Just gotta keep going
And I, I gotta be strong
Just keep pushing on

While the song is mostly about interpersonal relationships, adulthood, spiritual uncertainty and the inevitable suffering that comes with being in a relationship, I think about the lines "our disease is the same one as the trees, unaware that they've been living in a forest" a lot... but in a different context.
So, storytime:
I moved to London in September last year to study for my Master's degree. I came here alone without any friends or family.
I am usually very introverted irl. I spend most of my time reading books and listening to music all day instead of going to random pubs and talking to people for no reason.
The art of social-skydiving scares me and I find it very hard to approach and talk to people even if it's just telling the stranger sat next to me on the bus that I like their earrings. Since I spend most of my time indoors by myself, I haven't been able to make a lot of friends. Only maybe two people that I can think of and that I can trust my life with but we don't really hang out with each other cause they have very busy lives of their own and live far away from each other.
Having lived in random small towns in India for most of my life, I'm used to an environment where life is slow, everyone knows each other's names and have a stronger sense of community. I even walk very slowly and daydream quite a bit and Iām the type to stop and smell the roses kind.
A friend of mine told me before I moved here that people often feel the loneliest in the biggest of cities and I think that is somewhat true. Everything and everyone moves so quickly here. Everyone seems to be in a constant rush, trying to get into the nearest tube carriage before the doors close, go to their next business meeting or hurry to buy groceries. Moving here alone and spending most of my time studying indoors, loneliness and social isolation hit me like a brick in my face in a way I wasn't prepared for.
That's why I'm so grateful I found this website earlier this year where I got to meet and connect with so many beautiful and amazing people like mouse tiff marxinista r1ana caffy and dagny irl.
The song lyrics remind me that while all of us are here, existing and breathing the same air, we sometimes feel super-isolated and lonely and not able to really connect with people on a deeper, more meaningful level but we're all on our own individual journeys living, learning and growing together whilst being completely unaware of the suffering of the person right next to us might be going through.
Be kind to people y'all š«¶

My little sister cooked fries and oh man, they were awful. we tried them, looked at each other, and said āletās hope someone actually finishes it,ā because truly, i dont know what she put in them but they were strangely chalky. We were saved by our other sister who miraculously really enjoyed the fries. No idea how, sheās just built like that I guess.
Anyway, even if the food was bad, it was fun to laugh and joke. So 10/10, go accidentally ruin the food in your pantry for the laughs
