as was the case with many young girls growing up in the 2010s, I was a hardcore directioner from their very first album. I was lucky enough to see them in concert when I was 13, and their music carried me through my early adolescence. flash forward a few years to 2017, Iβm just starting my freshman year of college, and I happen to form a bond with a girl in my orientation group over our shared love of 1D. said girl went on to become one of my closest college friends, sophomore year roommate (we had matching harry & zayn tapestries on our wall), and sister for life. reconnecting with her this past year following liam payneβs sudden tragic passing turned out to be exactly what my heart needed at this strange point in life after turning 25. love you long time, Amisha! β€οΈ
you just never know when youβll need to plug in and escape into your own little world with some tunes.
and YES I will keep using the wired ones because god knows the wireless ones will die on you at the most inconvenient time possible !!!
if I Spy books were as big a part of your childhood as they were mine, you already know the cozy, liminal space vibes that they convey. revisiting some of those images in my adulthood just brings back such a strong feeling of comfort and peace.
some of my personal favorites: Treasure Hunt, Christmas, Spooky Night
