grew up with early 2000s kpop, dancing around the living room back in the philippines while wearing my kung fu panda pjs and not having a care in the world. now i play those same songs but i still feel the same exact rush of adrenaline as i did those many years ago. feeding into your inner child, they’re still in you.
I had a vivid memory of purchasing Adele’s ‘21’ when it released and sitting in my closet that day memorizing the whole thing from my ipod nano. The feeling of sitting in my closet and listening to music is so pure and nostalgic and it makes me feel so happy that I still have a love for music like I did then! I hope this joy is universal 🥲
either it’s been imbedded in my dna or it’s the circumstances i was placed in. im somehow always crying during movies when a character is going through something devastating, eyes watering because a song is “so good”, or even silent and trying to soak up the moment because i know i‘ll remember forever.
