In an old interview where he talks about his favorite bands, John Frusciante concludes by detailing the ways in which REM’s music has been like a friend to him. When he was down and out as an active drug user, friendless and out of the band, REM was there for him. This is more or less how I feel about the entire catalog of John Frusciante. There are lots of bands and artists I always feel I can return to, but none so much like a friend as John Frusciante.“If anything unfolds, it’s supposed to” - John Frusciante, “Going Inside”
not really a rec nor an experience that has an end date but it is part of being alive and it does make you understand certain things about your own life.
treat your lips the same way you would treat the rest of the skin on your face! put a small amount of moisturizer on em after washing. i like to use something super gentle like an eye cream but whatever you have on hand will work. THEN, before you go out, apply the lip balm of your choice. the balm is meant to be a protective layer between your skin and the dry air. if you put lip balm on top of already dry lips it's pretty much useless bc the skin can't absorb it, which sometimes makes the problem worse. ok stay soft
