when there are lulls and I find myself just kind of coasting through life and going through the motions every day, I try to step back and remember that my favorite albums of the next year have not yet come out and I get to hear all new amazing music for the first time each week, sometimes even sooner, and it gives me something to be truly excited about

I guess we’re already almost done with it, but I’ve come to enjoy the lull of new releases that happens each January. I think in the effort of keeping up with new releases, we forget that each new thing we consume comes at the cost of consuming something else. each novel thing we devote our time and attention to comes at the cost of appreciating something that we already have.
not that it’s bad to experience new things, but i’ve come to appreciate the invitation that january brings to invest time and energy into fostering a new fondness and appreciation for the music collection i’ve already amassed. in this time where i’m freed from the current of new music, I can experience new things by revisiting and reconsidering old things. maybe with the passage of time they’re no longer as familiar to me as I assumed, and I can now encounter them in new ways.
anyway instead of getting stressed waiting for your most anticipated album of 2025 go and listen to something you were really into back in middle school and reconnect with it. there’s a newness to experiencing old things again but from a new perspective that I think this time of year is uniquely suited for.

i genuinely don't have anything i love more than it. feeling sad? I'll play music. feeling happy? I'll play music. feeling bored? I'll play music. there's so much new music to be discovered and I'm just so grateful for it

I took it in a canon rebel g that I was lucky enough to find at an estate sale for about $20 and it’s by far my favorite pic I’ve ever taken! I think the film is like fujifilm ISO 400 or something idk but I love the colors it brings out
