Hope is a knife - Mustafa

A destructive ballad about one sided affection. This is the ANTHEM of yearning. Clairo on background vocals and production adds a whole other layer to this. Truly a perfect song in my opinion.

messy by lola young

For a song called Messy, this is a tight and awesome song, IMHO. Though it's sad that in the song she's trying to mold herself into someone she's not for someone who doesn't care.

Between two rn

Everything is romantic feels so midwest hot girl and I love the vibe BUT Girl, so confusing hints at a collab with the LORDE while hitting with some personal lyrics like yes I do feel confused if people like me.

Look at your fave artists earliest work

Or better yet their sketchbooks if they’re available to the public. The early days tell better, accurate stories that include being shite for a time. Take this photobook from William Eggleston, it looks like someone’s A-level photography portfolio and yet this man became an ICON. Genius is a load of bs. Your faves practiced everyday.  Side note: go to your fave artists cv, scroll down to the first major thing and research.

Preventing lost media

I’ve had this youtube playlist for ages that I call my “internet archive” and it’s full of videos that I find interesting but also feel are culturally significant. They’re mostly live performances with a mix of odd ball clips that I liked but also really special stuff I think won‘t be there forever. Here is a list of my favourites 1. Camcorder footage of two guys driving around london in the late 90s while listening to the radio 2. RuPaul before he was the Queen of Drag, hanging round a corner shop in New York 3. A documentary filmmaker documenting various African American accents and dialects across the states. 4. A short doc called “Dirty Girls” about a group of teenager grunge girlies who are reacting to the news of Kurt Cobain’s death and discussing how they all stopped washing their hair to honour him hence the title. 5. Marsha P Johnson reading her poem “You gotta have soul” Anyway, this is me recommending to you to begin saving videos that intrigue you because contrary to popular belief the internet isn’t actually forever.

A good case for clearing your camera roll every 6 months during your healing era

You won’t see photos of all the cast members that got the cut. Side note: imagining your life as a tv series is a great coping mechanism.
