for the longest time i’d been avoiding the music my parents like bc they’re my parents they can’t be Cool or Tasteful so i had avoided fiona apple, the smiths, the cure, descendents, the cranberries, many other 80s 90s indie favs & more. & im finally realizing that hey my parents are real people too & it brings a whole nother level of appreciation for them and for music and for Life

i don’t connect with my parents over much but there’s something that feels kind of special to me about loving music that they loved when they were my age

It is far too tedious for me to keep an actual diary of my thoughts. As a writer, every single entry ends up a thousand-or-so-word ramble detailing my feelings in lines of purple prose, using film references and sarcastic remarks.
As a reader, though, I love to annotate my books. I write exactly what I’m thinking about silly scenes, romantic moments, and dramatic twists. It’s where I can freely express what I’m thinking and feeling, without any care for what it sounds like. The short remarks I print in the margins of novels, between the lines of dialogue, paired with doodles and scrawls, reflect my state of being as I read. When I look back on books I’d read previously, I am immediately transported to that era of my lifetime— what I was going through, how I was processing things, and how much of the world I’d experienced yet.

other people have seen this view covered in grey fog and baby blue clouds. i was so lucky to see the glory of the lake and the waters below, the green of the trees coming into view, all as the sun’s geometric rays burst from the white streaky clouds.

I feel so intensely connected to the passion and love of the two poets, that I feel I have to write about them constantly. Most recently, I wrote a piece inspired by the Beatles’ “Goodbye (Home Demo)” wherein Dante, after passing away, finds Virgil in Limbo, who had been waiting for him the whole time.
It’s not my best work, neither is it my best piece about them, but this one has a special place in my heart because it came from a feeling where I needed some solace.
