https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vum5Dex9esA definitely not the first video i ever watched on YouTube, but it's one of the first ones i can remember. my friends and i were obsessed with singing this in the back of their mom's van during elementary school, and i found a paper in one of my old school folders where i had written out the lyrics so we could remember them. to this day, i am still chasing the feeling that the friends making this video must have had. CORE MEMORY !!
The most challenging part of breakups for me is rebuilding the infrastructure of your own life. Reconnect with the things you used to do before you started dating someoneā(they might feel different and you might find they no longer work the way they used to, this is normal and okay) and find new things that help re-light the curiosity of your own life. We know so much less than we *think we do about what we might like/who we are, and breakups offer the perfect time to collect a little pile of ways/things/friends that help you feel more in touch with what you love and who you are. Gonna feel uncomfortable and weird but that means itās working. Sending you love ā¤ļø
