boy, I dunno what I expected after the first paragraph, but it wasn't what I got

i don't know what younger person needs to hear this, but it is so valid to not want to drink alcohol at all, or to only want to drink very rarely. don't let others pressure you into joining in with those societal rituals. it is an outrage how normalized drinking alcohol is, to the point that those who choose to abstain are constantly forced to justify their private choices, be publicly questioned about what led to these choices or excluded from activities altogether. you do not ever need to justify your reasons for this. there are absolutely valid and important reasons to not drink, and nobody has a right to know your personal reasonings.

idc what you think about the actual medium quality wise and stuff, but what I really miss is that with CDs dying out, we don't really get booklets anymore. The artwork, the lyrics, the little messages the artist leaves for the fans, it all felt so personal! You don't get this with streaming, and the new lyrics and video feature on Spotify just doesn't feel the same. Also the last CD I bought just didn't have any lyrics in the booklet at all, which actually was one of the main reasons I even bought it

also hidden tracks! Just loved sitting in silence for like a solid minute and a half after the CD officially ended and then hearing a track you didn't even know existed!

Welcome to the United States of America where if you want to be safe from guns you die if you want to get a safe abortion you die if you're gay you die if you're black you die if you're a woman you die if you're disabled you die if you're a kid you die if you're a POC you die if you're trans you die and no one will do anything about it because some stupid cuntrags that are two steps away from tripping on a staircase and dying cling to some dipshit beliefs from over 6 decades ago and decide to make it everyone's problem

no such thing as wasting your 20s your 20s are for recovering from whatever the fuck happened to you as a kid so that youre ready to get weird with it in your 30s
