I’ll never allow myself to stay where I don’t feel wanted again or loved correctly

[aleswift07]

u ever see someone with extremely fucked up views (or actions) and think wowww if a couple of things in my life went the tiniest bit differently that would have been me

Ohhhh the title for the new bonus track intrigues me so much!

For anyone who doesn’t know, "The Albatross" is a poem by Baudelaire, talking about how in the sky, it’s such a regal and majestic bird, but on the ground it is clumsy and ridiculous- and then draw a comparison to the poet (himself) and how once on the ground he is only mocked, and "His giant wings prevent him from walking"

Given that the album is titled "the tortured poets departments", I definitely see this as being an intentional reference! 👀

“Am I allowed to cry?” Question we ask ourselves when we make a choice about something that also really hurts. I did this to myself, am I allowed to be sad about it?

suburban legends / illicit affairs / the tortured poets department

genuinely one of the worst things that’s happened to television in the last few years (exacerbated by streaming services) is death of Filler. going from 20 episodes to 8 because “we didn’t really need that episode where the main characters went to the beach right? it had no long lasting effect” but we DID!!! we needed to see how they act without the Big Bad Plot and to establish the dynamics between the characters and lay in the sun (do they forget sunscreen? how do they react to a thieving seagull? do they get buried in the sand or do they do the burying?). the plot isn’t everything. the action doesn’t hit as hard without the quiet moments. give us character development and our little scenes back

Making someone feel seen, heard and understood is the loudest way to love them.
