HUNGRY FOR YOUR LOVE

sometimes it’s funny to listen to songs you’ve loved before when experiencing the thing the song is about. you know how they say that once you listen to ribs at different points of your life you see it from different angles? well, something like that is happening to me right now. it’s like i’ve never been this deep into yearning someone. it’s so weird and confusing. being in love is so different from everything i experienced honestly. at the same time, i think it feels exactly how i expected it to feel. and, i thought i’d never be able to fall in love, growing up on a town where everyone was exactly the same. the thought that maybe i could have met a boy who i could possibly like was crazy. now, i’m older than i was when i had that though, and meeting someone who i could possibly be falling in love with has changed my perspective in things. i yearn for love more than i ever did before. i think about the excitement and fluorescing feeling of the possibility all of the time. but, it’s everywhere, with it’s ups and downs. the excitement turns into sadness. the possibilities are moving me, but at the same time, they take me places of broken and harsh feelings. i know this is probably normal, but i’m sensitive. i believe i feel things more than other people do. so know i’m left with myself, chances, excitement, and harsh feelings. i think i’m hungry for his love, which is not something i wrote myself. that’s what lead me to the begging. listening to lover, you should’ve come over now that i feel this strange urge to be with a real person changed completely the way i see the song. very long post sorry!! just putting my feelings out there hehehe 💌

What about me?

A song delving into the heart of the listener. The longing for understanding and compassion from others is something I think most people have felt at some point, but this song evokes such raw emotions. Play it in a car with the windows down and belt your heart out.

I guess she’s out there somewhere

There’s an indescribable beauty to this song, ‘Alison’, by Slowdive. Oh, how I wish I could put into words how this song makes me feel. When I first stumbled upon it, and the whole Souvlaki album it belongs to, I was quite lonely. I had friends, but most of my friends had someone in their lives. Someone who was more important to them than me. I was nobody’s priority. That’s how it felt, at least. I was longing to be loved. To be cared for. And that is exactly what Neil Halstead’s vocals on this song bring forth, a feeling of longing, of desperation. He longs for someone so desperately, that he’ll do anything as long as he gets to be with her. He will do whatever it takes so as not to be alone anymore.  “Alison, I’ll drink your wine / I’ll wear your clothes when we’re both high” She’s like an addiction, and he is addicted to her and anything she’ll ask of him. At the time, I would have given anything to overcome the loneliness that overwhelmed my everyday life. A girl could give me the smallest amount of attention, and I would spiral into a rabbit hole of highly unlikely fantasies. Even if I knew they weren’t at all right for me, I made up scenarios in my mind of what it would be like to be with them. For a moment, I would actually feel less lonely. ““Alison”, I said, “We’re sinking” / There’s nothing here but that’s okay” As a soaring guitar fades in and the chorus takes off, I daydream about what could, but probably never will be, and never should. I’m not ready. I have to wait. She has to be somewhere. Softly, carefully, I can already hear her, through Rachel Goswell’s gorgeous echoing vocals, somewhere in space. I just have to wait. “I guess she’s out there somewhere…” She was.

The art of reading Out loud

During my quest of personal expression I have found a unique and meaningful way to be more comfortable with the sound of my voice and that is by reading out loud. At first it was weird and awkward to read to the four walls or prying ears but as time went on, I began to allow for my voice to take up space and to fill those anxious gaps inside of me. PS: I read out loud in the privacy of my home 😭 not out in public spaces.

finding your own interior design style

with the rise of social media, it can be so easy to get sucked and pulled into someone else’s aesthetic or outlook. i have found inspiration from going within and seeing what i genuinely like when it comes to art, fashion, interior design and so much more. the results were shocking but it comes to show how much i really am a maximalist at heart :) what are some of your favourite interior design styles?

VOICE JOURNALS

The beauty of documenting your life experiences through your speech and embracing how your voice sounds in that very moment is something I find so special. Our voices are instruments, what use are they if we don’t take delight in the sound of the very thing that forms meaningful connections. Voice journalling has made me so much more confident in my speech, how I sound, public speaking and expressing myself to those around me. It has helped me to be more interactive during conversations with friends, family and strangers. It has opened up the gate for meaningful friendships and closed the gate for social anxiety. I usually go back and listen to the growth of my voice and the small depletions of the insecurity and anxiety of my speech. It’s also a great way for me to document my thoughts when journalling through writing gets overwhelming. Have any of you all tried voice journalling?
