actress starring in your bad dreams

folklore is one of the best albums ever made in general but it is truly so so perfect for late summer. the nostalgia. the warmth. the feeling that you are running out of time ... listening to it feels pike watching a sunset-soaked coming of age movie that makes your heart hurt. and that's what it is!!!!

thinking about the folklore prologue and how taylor says "a single thread that, for better or for worse, ties you to your fate". thinking about how invisible string is a song about taylor's journey with that thread and how she thought it led her through hell and brought her heaven. thinking about how it turned out that that thread led her to a fate that was worse than she was expecting. thinking about taylor finding it difficult to leave the relationship because of all those signs that prove that they were destined to be together. thinking about taylor resigning herself to that fate, for better or worse.

i'll forever miss how the internet felt before you had to second-guess the authenticity of every single piece of media you came across. silly videos used to be just silly. fun was coincidental. wonder was just wonder. digital art had character and soul. AI has taken the taste out of everything and irreversibly poisoned the creative sphere and the people still pushing it forward are the doom of joy and hollowing out the quality of being.

Hey kids, have you heard of the hottest new summer trend? It's called lying under a tree and looking up at the sunlight dancing through the leaves, and all the cool kids are doing it.
