Sometimes I'll be deep, deep in the throes of existential dread, oscillating between ennui at best and utter spiritual fatigue at the lowest (this is what chatGPT told me I was feeling), then I'l find an old photo of me and my twin sister. It's like a wink from the universe reminding me that we chose to be here together, and that's really the only thing that matters anyway. So I put the picture on my fridge.

I think in my experience on a more emotional/personal level, for every new person or new life experience I gain, it reminds me of my older sister who passed away a few years ago. Like, when someone laughs so wholeheartedly and the way their eyes squint slightly at the same time, or even to how someone would gush over their favorite celebrities, or their new obsessions on tiktok and IG, I see bits and pieces of her in them.
Some days are a bit bittersweet, but on other days it almost feels like a breath of fresh air. Like, even in the ways I reminisce on her and the memories we shared both good and bad, no matter the time and death between us, it feels like she's there sometimes saying "Hi" in her own way.
I like to think of it as a small balm that helps relive and heal the inevitable grief that follows the Hello's, good bye's, or even the simplest passing glances of someone/something(s) that reminds me of her.

Sometimes when I'm in pain I feel connected to a younger of me.

I remember coming across my grandmothers wedding photos once when I was a wee kid. And it’s never stopped intriguing me. It’s like they lived separate lives. I’ve only known them since I was born and it makes me curious to know who they were as individuals before me.
I stay in the storeroom of my house now, so once every few months I look through all the albums stored here… photos of my parents when they were my age, when they started dating, schooling and having fun.
It’s such a bittersweet feeling.

I listened to this last summer and here I am again. Maggie’s voice just feels right for some reason. never contrived, like she’s genuinely reading pages of her own diary. I don’t think I really need to say much about the book or its author, that’s already been said by many

Been listening to this song on repeat for 30 min while i cook my sister dinner. I have been a Destroyer fan since I was about 15. One of my friends gave me a mix cd from her older sister right before rubies came out. I don’t know why my experience with other Destroyer fans since then has always been repressed indie guys in tired flannel shirts because the music is more interesting than that. I don't think those guys even like it. they just stand immobile with their arms crossed at their shows, scowling. dan has one of the most emotional voices i know, at least for me

I started this playlist to calm my anxiety, and now it's my yoga music. I put my baby nephew on the cover because I call that his yoga retreat outfit. This playlist is best paired with candlelight. It's on Apple Music and YouTube too.
