Looping the same song for hours can become a religious experience, like being immersed in a Gregorian chant in an old cathedral. You pick up little instrumental flairs that you would have missed otherwise, and the lyrics become second nature. You appreciate the song the more you hear it, and beat drops and vocals become more satisfying in your expectation of them. You get into a natural groove.

when I find a song I love I like to listen to it a lot, sometimes on repeat! It makes the memories you have during that time period so much stronger, like theme songs for different seasons of your life. Beautiful.

only when you revisit again months later when you can bear to listen to it again will you understand what it is to love a song

i like to think about taking up space in terms of circles. on a day to day basis, the size of the circle for your basic needs (drinking water, eating food, etc) doesn't really change at all. like, there's no way to minimize those needs without messing up your health (speaking as a formerly dehydrated and constantly hungry person). the circles for the other parts of your life do change- hobbies, work, etc- but also tend to change relatively slowly. when i felt bad about taking up space in the past, i moved my circles away from people-i would journal alone, eat in my car, etc. i was still taking up the same amount of space, but just doing so away from other people. what helped me feel a bit better was gently nudging my circles towards other people again- instead of eating in my car, i would eat lunch on the grass in the park (impromptu picnic), or journal in a cafe. i was still doing the activities alone, but in the same public spaces as other people. it's helpful because there's no pressure from either side to interact, but a lot of wonderful spontaneous interactions do happen that are invited from both sides. it made me feel better about taking up space because i felt like i was part of a broader social fabric, but didn't feel self-conscious about whether i belonged or not. so just keep nudging your circle of needs and hobbies closer to other people's until you overlap :)

Oftentimes, I'll overly curate myself based on what I think is or isn't acceptable to those around me because I'm scared of being judged by them. I feel like I have a full and vibrant life, but people only skim the surface of it because I'm scared of letting them in. There's so much joy in being accepted and sharing in each other's joys and sadnesses, and I want more of that in my life in the coming year.
