an open letter to matty healy for sincerity is scary  i can’t say i’ve always particularly enjoyed your music. it’s emotional, it’s angsty. you’re probably the equivalent of a slightly better the neighborhood. i listened to sincerity is scary with apprehension which i was undoubtedly mistaken for. you talk about the fear of the postmodern world in being real, in feeling vulnerable. it’s easier to put up a facade and pretend to be someone you’re not instead of being wholly true to yourself. a social commentary on your own pieces of work which prove that even the best of us are afraid of something real. the irony is that people hold each other to an expectation to be indestructible, to be less sensitive, when their hearts are just as broken. some days i don’t want to be strong, i want to be sincere without the help of some self control inhibitor. there are no regrets to be had when i’m unapologetic for being me and entirely me. maybe this song cracked my persona down the middle, and sincerity doesn’t have to be scary anymore.
