I’ve been talking to my therapist a lot and finding a lot of healing in reminding myself that I’m growing into someone that little me would’ve thought was really cool—especially when it feels hard to like myself
Listening to the same music, loving the same movies, loving to read, changing up my look, loving clothes, loving animals. A lot of these things made me feel weird or nerdy at the time now feel so core to myself. I’m just baby me in a bigger body, we all are ⭐️

I don’t know why this hit me at this exact moment but reading this gave me a clear sudden vision of telling my younger self about what I’m up to now and watching her get so, so excited. It made me cry 🙏

My favorite quote ever.
I used to be afraid of not having a personality, always “copying” the tastes of the people I love. But now I’m proud.
My comfort show is one that I once watched with one of my best friends, my music taste is kinda the same as my other best friend bc I listen to the playlists she makes (damn shes good), my bf makes me love everything he talks about with passion, I love watching movies with all of my friends.
Almost everything I love reminds me of someone, and I know they think about me when they’re doing something I showed them. It just makes me so happy. However sometimes it makes me kinda sad because it reminds me of people who aren’t in my life anymore, but I’m happy to carry all of them with me always. <3
Of course I have my own taste sometimes, but since I don’t try to be “unique” my life is better.

When I was 14 I definitely started listening to metal/extreme music and watching horror/extreme cinema to impress ppl I liked (30 year olds on WoW - we can unpack that later), however I think that as long as you take a minute to be reflective and think like do I like this for me or do I like this for someone else, it's OK to be niche (and it is absolutely funny to be like, oh yes I'm a purveyor of fine japanese dungeon synth when ppl ask what you're into). Consider niche interests the result of exploration of oneself!

I can’t believe it’s a debut and not a single song is a skip. They‘re referenced several times in the MF DOOM biography and it‘s funny how much the “your favorite artist’s favorite artist” rings true for them

Idc there’s something so chic about my car that costed me 2k and is paid off and so gently used by its previous owners. Having a CD binder in the car makes me feel like my mom. 10/10 overall.
