This album is marriage propaganda to me

not only is this my favorite love song (and one of my favorite songs to ever exist), but i feel like it depicts how love tends to find me/how i find it, see it, feel it, etc. the song is about literally meeting your soulmate in the parking lot of a grocery store. it envisions the future of the couple, and then returns to their initial meeting. firstly, i’m sort of a sucker for coincidental meetings - partially because i’ve met some of my very best friends this way. also, i am so quick to romanticize a person after meeting them for the first time (much like fjm imagining buying a mansion and having 7 daughters with this woman). in the song, this love seems all consuming, and i can relate to that as well (“if this isn’t true love, someone oughta put me in a home“). i’m a very sentimental and mushy person, and i tend to hold the people that i met completely by chance even closer. i don’t love people in rational amounts; life is too short for that. anyways, i just really love this song, and i think it is probably one of the most pure love songs of the 21st century.

Top Recs from @caskeyc
🗓
1. Don't set an alarm and wake up naturally. Snooze for however long you want to, it's okay
2. Have breakfast. For me it's toast. Have it with butter/jam/honey and a lot of water and coffee and juice.
3. Listen to an album in full and do some puzzles until it ends. I like to stick a record on and do the nyt games (connections, then wordle, then the mini, then I'm ready for a crossword)
4. Shower and use all your best stuff. Smell great. Make your hair feel soft.
5. Wear an outfit you don't get to wear that often. I tend to wear the same thing over and over at work so I wear something a bit more fun and less practical.
6. Go outside. I live near a road with secondhand shops that are great browsing but quite tempting on a budget. To beat the temptation just look in the windows and then walk round the streets or to a green space if it's a nice day. Walk as fast or as slow as you like. Try and spot cats that might let you stroke them. See how each place you go smells different. Walk down streets that you've not been down before just because.
7. Come home and decide how much energy you have. If you have energy do an activity (I would write, play an instrument, do some art, read, play a game) if you don't then watch something from your watchlist. Saturdays feel like a good day to watch something new.
8. Cook yourself a meal. Start before you're hungry and spend ages on it. Use every pot. Listen to music. Sing whilst you wash the dishes.
9. Play! Video games, board games, internet games, card games, phone games, rearrange your plushies, embrace your inner child. Play with ideas, experiment with felt tip pens, write a limerick. Get silly with it.
10. Talk to your friends. Invite them over, call somebody up, text that person back you didn't have time to. I like to spend a good day off by myself then have a great time talking to people after I've recharged.
11. Have so much fun getting to do whatever you want you fall asleep at whatever time. Monday - Friday is about appeasing your body clock, Saturdays are for filthy pleasures like falling asleep at 3am because you were too busy flirting or reading or watching videos.
