I was assigned to watch this video in college and it forever changed my life.
My favorite quote: “We’re all entangled, making each other sick, keeping each other alive.”

In a world and in a political landscape where it is so easy to despair, looking into the eyes of another human being and really listening while they speak means so much. The more you seek connection with others, the more opportunities for joy and belonging will open up to you. It is so easy to feel downtrodden, isolated and afraid nowadays. My own tendency to isolate in times of stress and sadness has often left me little energy to think outside of myself and my immediate circle. There are times to turn inward, but it is so much more valuable when those times of reflection are met with connection. I, like so many, have had unhealthy ways of coping with my own traumas and grief, my insecurities and broken heart. Over the last year, I have put in real work to better myself, to respect myself, and in garnering this renewed self-love, I've found I have more to give tenfold. Eating well and moving my body really does wonders, gives me more energy and inspiration to take care of myself, and by proxy those around me. I suddenly want to read more, cook more, engage in more meaningful conversation, take on new projects with friends that will enrich our lives.
I've been feeling so existential and sentimental recently, in an extreme way I've never experienced before, because it is paired with the efforts I've made to treat myself differently and better. For the first time in what feels like a very long time, I actually find myself wanting to make the most of my life, of life in general, instead of lying in wait for some invisible, impending threat, or even merely waiting for things to maybe work out in an acceptable, tepid way someday. I want to make the most of everything. I think this is the key to sustained happiness and hopefulness–—listening to what your body wants, treating it as well as you can, and using the stamina you achieve to connect with others and be present in the world. It may all be doomed, but I still see beauty around me simply by not turning away from it anymore, enough beauty to really, really believe that it is such an exquisite accident to be alive.Â

I’m really tired of people saying “I just need to focus on myself”. “I have to stop people pleasing“. And other similar things to defend why they bail out of plans/ don’t text back/ don’t show curiosity or care towards me.
Being too inwardly focused isn’t the way to feel better or to heal. Being in community, being reliable, being emotionally available is the way to feel better! Blowing people off because “self care” is shortsighted and mean spirited.

By putting hopes + healing into someone else's hands, you also give them all that power over you.
When they stop x, y, z, your maintenance is dropped.
Your wound is never healed without them. (Re: "lost the person who I thought would heal me from all previous wounds.")
Best news is that you haven't lost that person. It's all u bb
A lil self journey to gentle self care could go a long way, with maybe professionals if needed.
Next relationship will be healing bc you'll have all that inner stability.
Hope this helps 🩷🪻🩵

all of the songs on this album fade into each other. 🤩 it’s what made me appreciate the art of the album when i was 15/16, and i still love to listen it in full from time to time, when the season is apt. you not only get great stand alone songs but also a thorough piece of art that helps curate the album’s feel. i love love love this album!!

i actually have no shame in bumping this song, but #society makes me feel like i should. it is THE song of the 2000s, no debate. makes me feel like i should be filming myself lip syncing on photo booth with every filter possible and uploading it to youtube
