always trying to name my feelings

i hate people sometimes and not HATE HATE but love hate kinda hate. soft hate, not like i dont like u, but like im too tired to not like u so ill just let it be as it is. guess stuff happens and we keep moving in that cycle again and again and at this point i dont feel real me anymore, ive a lot of covers on now and i dont give a piece of me to people. been having a lot of events where my "heart beats fast as hell". "i cry", "feeling very very useless", "distant", "getting a closure". its okay now, i hope i turn into a decent adult, the kind of adult i want to be and i also feel like theres a time period of infinity between right now and what i want to become - the person, not about career.

p.s. my heart is beating fast as hell while im typing all this. more power to me!

runnning lowww on serotonin

girl in red aka marie ulven ringheim <3

been vibing to this song lately and i think im absolutely in love with her because of the way this music is produced and the lyrics (after referring to genius).

i dont like all the artists working or producing music for mental health/highlighting mental issue but i really love GIR because -

that is a GIRL

that is MARIE aka GIR (loml)

these two reasons are enough?

but jokes apart, i really love the way she works on her music and delivers the exact message and the feeling we are supposed to be feeling after listening to a song by her which is really tough in today's time. its said that music is a time capsule and besides this it has the power to make every individual feel something different and hence a bunch of feelings projecting out from a single song??? wohooo powerful, no? YES!

(bts - i relate/ used to relate to music which talks about mental health and feeling low and similar stuff. i have been there so maybe thats why? and ofc i still think about this question that "am i really supposed to be feeling this way? or am i just being too much?" so i try to suppress my feeling and in turn i gift myself a breakdown. we are dealing with something, isnt it? we got this! it gets better. trust me.)

Also I found this while in the forest, it made me happy

PRETTY effed up morning :)

so like everyone has a coping mechanism and their go to songs when they feel that something which TRIGGERS them is happening or about to happen AGAIN so i have this song -

so its sunday morning today and ive been feeling low and that gut feeling since last two three days that yes something wrong is about to happen and boom then that triggering thing happens and as soon as i see it coming i go to this song and man this sunday morning isnt supposed to be this sad yk cause its a festive season and ugh this sucks. so lowkey sad and irritated. like fuck it. im just draining out of energy.

dude. i want to cry T_T

I just realized that the word “seven” has ‘even’ in it.

That’s odd.
