I was listening to this song late at night instead of going to sleep like I was supposed to. It feels like a song kinda meant for a kid, though I've never actually looked into if it was made directly for someone. It felt soooo bittersweet in the moment though because it seems like no matter how much you try to impart wisdom on someone else, especially someone young, it seems like 9/10 times they don't truly understand it unless they experience the actual pain associated. Made me think of someone really close to me who I really can't do much other than watch as he explores his identity.
Special place in my heart for animal collective and all the associated acts their music just tends to make me feel something completely unique every time

I love how vulnerable the song is. I love this band and all their songs are kinda sad but incredibly beautiful and full of raw emotion. I’ve been listening to them since I was a teenager and somehow they’ve always managed to tell my life story back to me.

I think I've bawled my eyes out to every track at this point for different reasons. not even exaggerating. once you think you're done with it you get hit with a brand new emotion and find new symbolism in the lyrics. and another painful feeling to unfurl and free yourself from. if I could get everyone to listen to an album this would be my pick

what do you mean im driving on a road that connects the entire country coast to coast? and by consequence im connected to every single other person driving on it, everybody rushing home or to work, everybody setting off on a road trip, every trucker thats just doing their job and probably not thinking about it. Think of me next time ur on I-40 .......

Bring patios back!! also, there's nothing better than being dead hungry in the middle of a hike and sitting down to demolish a shitty sandwich, which in that moment is the best thing you have ever tasted. the dirt makes it taste better not joking
my favourite time of day is when it’s close to sunset, the birds are chirping, everything’s settling down for the evening, and you’re just enjoying a little meal with your doggo (who’s clearly just here in hopes you give him food.)

at least, thats what im doing right now. i made excuses to stay on them for so long because they kept me up with whats happening in the world, exposed me to really cool sfuff and whatever. even gave myself a timer on tiktok so i couldnt be on for more than thirty minutes, but two days ago i got fed up and just deleted it. im tired of having a background to all my activities so to speak, i want things to be surrounded by void instead so i can actually feel BORED again and thus partake in more activities and feel fulfilled. all this is to say it may also help if you write down or journal about why you want to be off your phone lol, i made the decision to delete my most used app because i had too much time to think about it during a long class and realized its not making my life any better.
Sorry for the rant, i have lowkey also just been wanting to talk about this..
