I first became friends with my soon-to-be current bf because he liked my def leppard shirt. He asked if I liked classic rock, and I said yes, I've been listening to it my whole life (I was raised on classical music and whatever was on pop radio at the time). Of course he played along, but eventually admitted to knowing the whole time I was lying, and now we have a wonderful almost 6-year relationship in the books. Thanks to both of our passions for music (and my desire to learn and get closer to him), are some of the biggest rock fans you'll ever meet. Our love language is sharing new music with each other and now this is just a funny story we tell people :)

What’s That? Oh, we both love steely dan and hate cyclists that wear the little outfits ? (Not bc we hate the fit- we do, we just hate that they give you a dirty look when they roll through a stop sign and it‘s your turn to drive more)
it starts with you liking one of my recs (obviously), then, feeling generous, I like one of yours that’s either a micro-complaint or link to a specific, hard-to-find performance of an ethereal 70s jazz singer.
We follow each other back and… the rest is history as they say…
And by history I mean we dm on Instagram nightly until eventually we meet people that live on our own coasts and our flirtation becomes merely a memory
But a beautiful one at that

I used to hang out with a coworker of mine on our breaks, we would drive around in my car and just chat. The first time we ever hung out he was on aux and played The Reason by Hoobastank, he belted at full volume the entire song. This shocked me because luckily I am nonjudgemental and I thought this was fabulous, and it was such a vulnerable thing to do with me and I felt very trusted. Unluckily he ended up being kind of awful to me when I rejected his romantic advances, but I really enjoyed this moment together and I can't stop thinking about it.

a couple weeks ago, i bumped into a friend that i say hi to every now and then, but don’t know much about. i’ve always thought he’s cute. we were both walking to the library to study, so we were talking and getting to know each other. i mentioned that i want to live back at home after i graduate uni because i would miss my dog (and parents) too much. then i showed him my lock screen of my dog. this song was playing (important!) and he stared at the screen for awhile and i thought that was strange because it wasn’t hard to see the pic of my dog. my delulu self thought he was trying to read the song name to listen to it later.
we ended up spending the rest of the day together, studying, trying to get to know each other while flirting, and then got taco bell for dinner (literally a date yk). he also paid for my drink at our campus cafe🥹
2 weeks ago, we were studying together again and i asked if he had spotify. he said yes, and i said that we should make a shared playlist that blends our music (i listen to it every day). the other day this song showed up and on the side it had both of our profiles… basically we both had listened to it, and it’s SO CUTE because he is so observant and makes an effort to get to know me. and no i don’t think he alr knew who caroline polachek is based on what he listen to. anyway i really really like him and this might be the start of a love story pls wish me luck🤞🏻

i want to know where you came from! how you've changed! how you're doing now! is that really such a crime? is this not why social media exists?

But you all already know too much ab me. Can’t let the outside circle know who I actually am, gotta keep the mysterious act up somehow

I imagine a piece of ribbon being carried by the wind.
seemingly delicate, but strong when facing pressure. can falter without proper support (knot). a resounding eagerness to make others happy (gifts, compliments). rings of happy memories from holidays. longs for the girlhood of me, my mother, and my grandmother - to be tied around their hair just one more time.
