funky songs- for when you feel like dancing with your friends after quarantine :)
melancholy - for lying on your bed and staring at the candlelight, with night slowly creeping its way into the sky
classical - classical music for your sad self
vivid - when you want to feel like you’re in a coming-of-age movie that’s slightly indie and slightly pop
surrealism- when you feel like you’re in an empty, nostalgic hotel sitting by the drained pool and wondering where you’re going next
suburban gothic - for when you want to drive to the desolate towns as an escape but take yourself into a dark underworld, attempting to unravel the knots of your past life.
d/l academia - a mix of dark and light academia songs for when you want to feel like someone from a Donna Tartt novel yet more lighthearted and whimsical.
songs I could listen to on repeat/my favorites- a mix of nostalgic songs from childhood and current songs
abstract- my take on Possibly in Michigan with a slight twist; more indie, rock
lofi- lofi songs
june bug- my take on cottagecore aesthetic; when you feel like you want to run away to the country and sit by the meadows
Gothic- songs that fit Victorian Era Gothic aesthetic; blood red curtains, splitting moonlight, ivory ballrooms, distant shadows
Vintage- old songs I really like
What they don't tell you is that if you drink soda in a friendly and joyful state of mind, all the negative effects, like the high sugar and acidic content, are nullified
The weight of my unknown ancestors burns in my mind-a rocky burden. I try to remember anything yet only ghosts spill out of my mouth. Where did they go? Whatever happened to them? Are they proud of me? Are they proud of what I've done? What I've done to get here? When they watch they are witness to their own memories crammed into a modern body. I am simply a young girl. Not the fragments of my family. I exist watching every little move for an answer, they are waiting to give me it all, waiting for me to come back home. I am struggling with the door.

nothing that a haircut and a wardrobe update and a detox and a sex change and a fake ID and getting medicated and selling all my stuff and faking my death and moving country can't fix

That evening they managed to brew some tea. The handful of leaves that the bear had saved for a special occasion was enough for exactly two cups. They were fortunate to find some candles in the old house, for this meant they could have a real festive tea party.
Though it was dark and cold outside, in that house, around the round wooden table, a miracle took place...
happy upcoming new year!
