“Always On The Lookout For Someone To Hate

“It took you two weeks to go off and date her

Guess you didn’t cheat, but you’re still a traitor”

-“Traitor” by Olivia Rodrigo.

It’s just another day of the year...

being in your early twenties is like [grocery shopping alone] [having instant noodles for dinner] [remembering random details about that one friend you haven't spoken to in five years] [feeling overwhelming guilt for every purchase that isn't strictly "necessary"] [having midday naps] [finding out through facebook that the girl who was mean to you in high school has a husband and a baby] [falling a little in love with every stranger on public transport] [pretending you're not afraid of being alone] [wondering when you'll feel like a fully realized person] [listening to bands you liked in middle school] [blinking and it's suddenly december] [failing to imagine yourself ten years from now] [feeling like you're running out of time]

“And I've always lived like this, keeping a comfortable distance

And up until now I had sworn to myself that I'm content with loneliness

Because none of it was ever worth the risk”

-“The Only Exception” by Paramore.

“Do we need somebody just to feel like we're alright?

Is the only reason you're holding me tonight, ‘cause we're scared to be lonely?”

-“Scared To Be Lonely” by Martin Garrix feat. Dua Lipa.
