It no longer rules your life, lingers in the back of every thought, controls your free and occupied time, makes you feel like an utter pervert in the extent to which you seek out interviews and any online presence, nor sends you into an existential frenzy as to whether you have a crush on or want to be this person. You’re free! And now that you’re not wholly consumed with some talented stranger you can go back to enjoying the work the way you did right before it turned into a full blown obsession but now there’s a warm fondness from the time and intensity you’ve given to this thing you now know you love, the love that now makes this thing (album, movie, book, artwork, etc) a part of you and loving it is almost like loving yourself—hearing the song in public is like hearing the sound of the soft animal of your body (subdued to a whisper) and that’s all it is! something tender, something remembered, an embrace of something deeper, but not as destabilizing as it once was.

allow yourself to enjoy rabidly and rampantly! allow yourself to be consumed by love! be healthy, take care of yourself, but don’t limit your enjoyment of the thing you currently find most beautiful if it brings you joy

hmm i think with everything being so fast paced and like easy to digest when u find something that just really resonates with u i think u should just let it wash over u like a wave. call it a hyperfixation or a phase but if u just really enjoy something (like an album or a movie) there needs to be some time to really savor it before going into the next thing.

Don't be ashamed of unabashedly loving something. Even if people think you're strange, if you love it, love it with all your heart. I'm currently taking down a lot of my LEGO sets from an era where that was really all I could think about. I still love them with all my heart, but I feel it's time to move on a little bit.
I remember for the longest time I used to feel really embarrassed that - as an adult - I spent so much time, money, and brainpower on something most would write off as a kids toy. I've learned to embrace it now, and to love every new hyper-fixation as they show up.

Whatever man some more immediate version of me thought it was apt at the time. I love getting older cause past versions of me keep getting younger. I can’t hold it against them I was so young then! just a rapscallion

Believing the rest of your life can start today (but not succumbing to the weight of that, which I’ve yet to figure out how to do).

Devastating. so emotionally honest. stunning instrumentals. Listened to this a lot 2 augusts ago and again now bc I’m venturing into a new known unknown again. Always thought August is the Sunday of summer and feel like this album captures that lethargic oppressive heat that is always ushering in change tickled with a melancholic ending, the reminder of time passing, that your childhood is another summer behind you. A sigh instead of a sob. Only 2 songs are shorter than 6 minutes.
