the mountain goats make music for people who spent their entire lives convinced they would die before they were 17 except now they're 26 and they have a job and friends and hobbies and they're not sure what they're meant to do now that they've survived
“Don’t you think I have the right to hate the world? Don’t you think I have the right to hate you, who forgot about me to live your peaceful, boring life? Don’t you think it would be understandable if I tried to make you experience the same sort of suffering?”
Jenny Slate, Little Weirds
if i bring my “im so unbearably unhappy” to my parents they tell me to suck it up and finish my degree but if i bring it to my friends they’re like no literally go insane change ur last name move to mountains make art live free its such a crazy contrast im being pulled in fifty thousand directions and we’re not even halfway thru the year yet im convinced im not making it to next month if i dont make some major shifts but the thought of dropping out and sticking that label onto myself forever because of my mental health is terrifying and an endless opportunity for these people to write me off as “dysfunctional” again when im literally still working thru the traumas of my teenage years because of them its such a catch-22 to leave me with some useless economics degree and call it a day and such a death sentence to me i cant imagine paying all that money and wasting all that energy to go on to play with fake numbers in the fucking office all day
