capture a lightning in the bottle

every time i'm going through it, i just pop mitski's bury me at make out creek in my walkman and sit on the floor by my bed in front of the electric fan. # tropical depression

people in tiktok are like "how should you listen to mitski when you live in a tropical country? how do you get into the existential crisis" folks haven't discovered listening to mitski on a night in a crowded third world city after a rainy evening, stuck in rush hour, standing at the corner of the street watching the traffic lights change while you think about how your life has come to this

so i bought jewelry at an art con. a necklace with black string, cowrie shells for stoppers, and a pendant of shell and pearl. and i've always wondered why it was so expensive. it just fucking occured to me the pearl might be a real pearl

like no wonder the pearl necklace i wanted (but the pearls were shaped like stars) is so damn expensive
