Apparently I’ve shared this before, however this is my current aesthetic, and mental, creative mood.

Brief Moments Of Joy
I’m having one of those days where I’m upset, angry, hurt, depressed, extremely sad, trapped inside myself, and trying to process each emotion individually. It’s easier said than done. Silent migraines have attacked a lot these past few days. They involve little or no head pain, but everything else makes you wish you could treat it without getting sicker. I’ve used everything from caffeine to try and break it, but now it’s anti-nausea medicine and hydration. I’ve never been so happy to have Lime Cucumber Gatorade in my life. Sounds like a bizarre flavor, I know. When you’re sick like this, it’s heavenly. If you’ve never found this flavor, look for it in a store that sells a lot of cultural foods.
Today, the lyrics from, “Soon You’ll Get Better” made me cry. As someone who doesn’t cry often, maybe I needed to? Maybe I connected too much. 🤷 And sadly, the reason why I connected are for two separate reasons.

Thank you Target (who originally posted a delivery date of next week), FedEx, and Taylor Swift for the brief joy of #ReleaseDay. #Lover #DeluxeVersions 🎉
The Archer
Thus far, I’ve loved all three songs released from, “Lover”. I’m pre-ordering her Target exclusive, which is something I haven’t done in years (Reputation was a gift from my cousin, and she made sure I got both Target exclusives on release day!). I’ll have all eighteen songs memorized in a few days. My brain is probably 40% song lyrics.
Lyrics are the first thing I read whenever an artist I love releases new material. It’s the easiest way to know if a song speaks to you, or not. Very few artists/bands seem to write about my life, my pain, my heart, and/or my experiences. But when someone does, it’s utterly magical in a way I can’t fully describe without sounding like I work for Hallmark.
