the commodification of friendship is the most annoying thing to come out of the internet in ages. like actually i love to break this to you but you're supposed to help your friends move even if it's hard work. or stay up with them when they're sad even if you're gonna lose sleep. you're supposed to listen to their fears and sorrows even if it means your own mind takes on a little bit of that weight. that's how you know that you care. they will drive you to the airport and then you will make them soup when they're sick. you're supposed to make small sacrifices for them and they are supposed to do that for you. and there's actually gonna be rough patches for both of you where the balance will be uneven and you will still be friends and it will not be unhealthy and they will not be abusive. life is not meant to be an endless prioritization of our own comfort if it was we would literally never get anywhere ever. jesus.

mumford&sons: nothing is written // raise my hands, paint my spirit gold
mumford&sons: awake my soul // lend me your hand and we’ll conquer them all; but lend me your heart and i’ll just let you fall
pj harvey: the big guns called me back again // there was laughing and i could not laugh; there was singing and i could not sing
the wright brothers: blood on my hands (vocals) // oh lazarus, how did your debts get paid
choir of young believers: hollow talk // darkness rises in all you do
sara lov: my body is a cage // i’m standing on a stage of fear and self-doubt; it’s a hollow play but they’ll clap anyway
the civil wars: poison&wine // oh, i don’t love you; but i always will
shearwater: i was a cloud // into the burning eye of the sun without feeling
