The Climb—miley cyrus

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 it’s from the Hannah Montana movie it is low-key embarrassing. I’m glad you asked this question because I’ve been reconnecting with the girl I was then and trying to honor her and the things she wanted for her life but didn’t think she deserved. So I’m having a bit of a full circle moment right now and feeling quite sentimental and touched… 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 🤧🙌🕯️

“Baba o’riley” by the who

to me it’s always been kind of a sad song but it’s also resoundingly hopeful it’s not been the best year but it’s not been the worst, you know how it is- life kind of just happens. i of course like the part :: “don’t cry… don’t raise your eye… it’s only teenage wasteland” i graduate this spring and that’s obviously a big milestone. being in high school is kind of uniquely miserable and beautiful at the same time. i’m glad to move on but it’s bittersweet i’m trying to stay in the present while also remembering that this is really “teenage wasteland” i.e: slums of adolescence.. what feels big now won’t ever matter again. things might feel empty and really suck, but you gotta keep moving forward. i guess that’s what i learned this year. long rant over now 🧘‍♀️

i will forever suggest ethel cain

never in my life have i had such an artist make me feel so seen. never in my life have i had such an artist capture exactly what i feel and turn it into sounds and poetry that calm the raging storm inside my mind rather than make it worse. her music (specifically sun bleached flies and televangelism) make me cry happy tears every single listen without fail. if you want to be transcended above this earthly realm into something otherworldly, do yourself a favor and listen to ethel cain<33

Get off social media

at least casually. don’t delete the accounts but don’t have the apps on your phone either. rediscover your love of reading thru the magic of recognizing titles strangers are holding on the subway. become a subway reader. don’t use sound as an escape from your thoughts/feelings/surroundings. grocery shopping without headphones is actually kind of beautiful! pick up a new hobby or two or three. one of them should be something you’re not good at, and at least one should be no- or low-cost. never. stop. learning. the library, the parks and rec department, and nearby museums offer great materials already but also usually have free lectures or courses. go outside more. like, a lot more. (took this much less literally, so apologies if it’s not what you’re looking for lol — as a narcoleptic I have no tips on how to Not Sleep since Sleep is basically my job)

Reading multiple books at once

keeps it funky, keeps it fresh! a book for outside, a book for downstairs, a book for bed, a book for the subway, a book for the bathtub…..
