grinnieyoongi is my main blog

The Rolling Stone article was beautifully written and threw me a bit off guard with how open he was about some of the things he spoke about. From trying an ice sauna, to listening to the fabulous Joni Mitchell, to biting the tip of his tongue off while doing shrooms, it baffled me because for once it felt like we got a glimpse of the Harry that he’s been hiding away for years. 

He’s been able to choose and decide what he wants to share and what he doesn’t rather than locking away everything. I’m glad he’s at a place where he can do that, because nobody likes to lock every single one of their feelings away. 

Harry has always taken the term “fragile masculinity” and smashed it onto the ground in a thousand pieces. Men are taught from an early age that showing emotions isn’t manly, yet Harry has a whole group of friends that he can happily lean on and tell everything too, which is a heartwarming thought. 

Despite everything in the article, the thing that stuck out most to me was his interest in smooth jazz. I took a music theory class in high school, and Bill Evans’ “Peace Piece” was the song I picked apart and wrote an entire essay on. Everything from the first note to the gorgeous melodies, I’ve listened to it at least 1500 times. Again, it’s something that surprised me. He’d always come off as a soft rock type and it gave me butterflies that he knew that song.  

Something that didn’t surprise me (that apparently surprised a lot of people?) was the fact that he openly admitted to doing shrooms. Which, in all honesty, could be a gate to his creativity. I’ve tried a lot of psychedelics (I went through a phase), and shrooms are the most tame ones I could think of soooo. . . Also, everyone experiments at some point, right? My boss makes tea out of shrooms and just drinks it for a little trip. I don’t know, maybe it’s because it’s so normalized around me that I don’t see a problem with it. *shrug*
