do my dark circles and deteriorating health make me look hot

i think music is often attached to the body and maybe that's why we will never know exactly how someone else feels about a piece of music. like i feel some songs so deeply in my gut or so tightly in my chest or so dizzyingly in my head, that someone else will never understand that. because the feeling is tied to my physicality. so maybe that's why music is so personal. because it is physically bound.

I think about this once a day.

don’t forget to lose faith in everything this morning

instructions unclear, embraced the world with childlike wonder and joy
