Find meaning. Distinguish melancholy from sadness. Go out for a walk. It doesn't have to be a romantic walk in the park, spring at its most spectacular moment, flowers and smells and outstanding poetical imagery smoothly transferring you into another world. It doesn't have to be a walk during which you'll have multiple life epiphanies and discover meanings no other brain ever managed to encounter. Do not be afraid of spending quality time by yourself. Find meaning or don't find meaning but "steal" some time and give it freely and exclusively to your own self. Opt for privacy and solitude. That doesn't make you antisocial or cause you to reject the rest of the world. But you need to breathe. And you need to be.

Albert Camus, from Notebooks 1951-1959

i attend christmas parties from outside. how can i ever try to be better nobody ever lets me in. don't want money just someone who wants my company let it once be me. who could ever leave me darling but who could stay? i've never been a natural all i do is try. i'm alone on my own and thats all i know. fell behind all my classmates and i ended up here. to a house not a home all alone cause nobody's there where i pace in my pen and my friends found friends who care. i tuck myself in and turn my nightlife on i wish i'd never grown up. ones i loved trued to help so i ran them off and here i sit alone behind walls of regret. when my depression works the graveyard shift all of the people i've ghosted stand there in the room. i hate it here so i will go to secret gardens in my mind people need a key to get to the only one is mine. you're on your own kid you always have been.

the beauty of this album is that it really fully encapsulates what it’s like going from the devastating loss of a long term relationship, to the rebound you think is gonna fix it all, only to ultimately realize that you were using the latter to process your feelings about the former. the songs are so muddled, and the lyrics are relevant to both muses because her feelings were muddled and she had no idea where to put them or what to do with them. the rebound promised her everything she couldn’t get from the ex-love and she fell for it because she was so desperate to be really seen.

“And so he had told himself that what she felt wasn’t really love. It had been easier to try to convince himself that she was merely infatuated with him, that she didn’t understand what true love was(as if he did!), and that eventually she would find someone else and settle down into a happy and contented life.

Now that thought—that she might have married another—nearly left him paralyzed with fear.”

remember that scene in skam when isak & even are both kissing girls at a party but the entire time theyre doing it theyre making eye contact with each other across the room. that was deranged. we need more of that energy in media i think
