i am so tired of peeing. i drink the water, which i apparently need to live or something, then i have to go put the water somewhere else five minutes later. i drink the water, i go to a place to un-drink the water, i wash my hands, i leave, then i have to drink more water. guess where that water ends up? not in me! i give the water to my body and like a child it tosses it out and demands more. all hours of the day all hours of the night no matter what i am doing my life is interrupted by piss and this is bullshit
RIP jbankles.tumblr.com
sure, I don’t get a “healthy” amount of sleep like SOME PEOPLE do but can they do THIS *stands up, blacks out for a second*
What I say: Country music blows
What I mean: Modern country music, especially songs sung by modern male country artists, revolves around similar themes of toxic masculinity and nationalism. The recurrent lyrics referencing guns, trucks, beer and girls in short shorts are uncreative and not entertaining in the least. However, older country artists and folk rock bands such as Creedence Clearwater Revival and Johnny Cash have stronger, more diverse themes and often carry an overt anti-war message. I hate the fact that what was once an interesting and powerful genre of music has now been claimed by gun-toting conservative bearded dudes, and it hurts my heart to say I hate country music when there are so many country artists that I very much enjoy, but cannot state the fact that I enjoy country music without being associated with the aforementioned group.
Thinking about this guy in a Facebook group I'm in who was like "I don't have spotify wrapped because I only listen to vinyl so I recorded every time I listened to music on a spreadsheet and here's my stats"

favorite julien baker lyrics, in no particular order
you don’t have to remind me so much how i disappoint you
i think if i ruin this i know i can live with it
this will be quick and easy, i’m not gonna feel a thing
my mouth like a wound
why did you let them leave and then make me stay?
vessel of brightness, come make me blind
i’m tired of washing my hands, god, i want to go home
there’s a comfort in failure / singing too loud in church
all my prayers are just apologies
hold the chorus in between my ears until i go deaf
if it makes me feel better, how bad could it be?
isn’t that what you want / for me to be miserable like you
it’s no good if the pain doesn’t make you feel like you’ve earned it
living with demons i’ve mistaken for saints
Please remember that almost everyone around you is traumatized. I didn’t understand this when I was younger. I wondered why people acted so strangely and irrationally. Maybe all children wonder this. The author Robert Anton Wilson said (paraphrasing), “We have never seen a completely sane adult human.” No one makes it out of this life alive. It’s not their fault. Mercy, kindness, forgiving — these are what makes one human. They are other names for love. People break in the strangest of ways.
turn OFF the lights? i listen to edm now.
