sitting at a bar this weekend and saw my high-school sweetheart walk in. we have not spoken in half a decade. we look at each other and I swear to GOD time stopped. she is with her new girlfriend. she looks exactly the same. we say nothing to each other and she leaves. life is unreal guys as soon as you let your guard down you just start living it
I remember the first time I experienced a real heartbreak I went to watch La La Land for the first time in an independent theater. When I tell you that I was not prepared for what I was about to see ! That last scene… That last smile… It completely annihilated me… At that moment in my life I just couldn’t understand how they could have smiled and it just clicked instantly. Ended up ugly crying…
i saw this movie a year and half ago and still think about it 4+ times a week. haven't been able to listen to under pressure since. still feel like i'm stuck navigating between grief and healing. which...i guess is what life is??? finding your ground between the person you were with the person you'll be. anyway! aftersun ruined my life in the best way possible and it may be time to grow a pair & rewatch it.
the old-fashioned way, like you would before the entire internet was monopolised into basically three conglomerates. why would you spend all your time on your computer swapping between instagram tiktok youtube pinterest when you could find some of the coolest websites you've never heard about learning information your algorithm would never feed to you!!!!
a good place to start is your favourite artist's websites (not just musicians!) sometimes they have blogs (especially if they're writers) and often they link websites they like.
I also like magazine websites - the face, angel food, hot literati
or craigslist missed connections. I check the new york section all the time
