lyrics that give me goosebumps:
"even the iron still fears the rot"
"and i spend my life watching it go by from the sidelines"
the beginning part of "perverts" when the choir is singing the distorted version of "nearer my god to thee"
the violin crescendo at the end of "sunbleached flies" when she sings "if its meant to be then it will be"

the whole album. i have been obsessed with learning the story and dissecting the lyrics! it’s dark but so genius! my favourites are televangelism and strangers.

this whole album's story is distrubing but this song especially. first time i listened to it i got jumpscared. honorable mention, sun bleached flies of the same album. that song put the fear of god in me

I've never gone through a situation like that but the production and lyrics make me feel the same level of dread and anxiety that the subject of the song must be feeling. It's also the only song that makes me cry due to negative feelings that were sparked besides sadness.
The one that makes me feel so hopeful, it brings me to tears, is We'll Know Come Morning by Toulouse.

set a timer for yourself to do the thing you've been procrastinating for five minutes. then work up to 10, 15, etc.
i often feel way better after I Do The Thing. the procrastination part is usually just dreading getting started, but once you do the task tends to go by quickly, esp if you put on music or a TV show in the background. calling a friend or just having them in the room to body double is helpful as well if you are of the ADHD persuasion.
i totally understand the fear of failure though - i often let wanting things to be "perfect" get in the way of "good enough". not that you should half-ass things, but go a little easier on yourself. i'm sure whatever project you're working on will turn out 10X better than you think it will. best of luck xx

i went to an all-girls boarding school in western Massachusetts. almost got expelled, DID get suspended for some dumb, regular teenage shit that the faculty reacted to like i was an actual felon instead of a 15 yr old, formerly homeschooled goody-two-shoes. anyway, it recently came out that one of the history teachers that has been there for 30 years was grooming and SA'ing girls and the faculty had been covering it up. luckily i was never involved with him, never had a class with him, but its still weird knowing that he was a dorm parent and would do week-end nightly check-ins in the dorms, he lived at school with us practically, had a house directly next to campus, etc. i wasn't close with him but i KNEW him, he gave me bad vibes, and now 30 years later all his shit and the schools shit is getting aired out. feels good to be vindicated in my suspicions and the unfair treatment of students at that hellschool but my heart goes out to the many victims, named and unnamed, that he violated over the years.
