  • It’s a warm night just as summer is turning into fall, but you’re inside standing at the counter of the town video rental store. You slump into your shoulders and feel your name tag pinching into your chest, but look up at just the right moment to see her.
    “Her” is one of the girls from school, and she is beautiful. She comes through the door and right to the counter and starts asking you about any cool movies to rent. You talk and she smiles, but your heart is pounding. You’re sure you sound like an idiot, and of course you know why. But you can never tell her how you feel.
    It's years later and you live in another town. You have a home, a loving wife, and a couple of kids, and everything is on track. But all it takes is one afternoon of cleaning the attic to find your old high school yearbook, and in it is the picture of her. And you think to yourself, “You know what? If I could go back…”

    Hi all, I know I've been away quite a while. I figure it's time for a new one, so check this space over the next few weeks. I look forward to sharing it with you all.
    Edit: Sorry all, life happened. It's coming, I promise. Also, there might be another one coming after that.

    I ran into her by chance and we spend some crazy days. Sitting at 5AM in the stormy weather outside & leaning to each other. Sitting and talking about anything, we felt very comfortable. It's been over 6 years now but I still have those memories.
    She was not from my town. She lived about 80KM further and on an autumn day she called me early in the morning to ask if I had time and I said I have time very later. I will never forget that she sat in front of our house and waited more than 7 hours for me to come home. I didnt know this. She told me she is at her cousin but she was waiting for me outdoor. This shattered my heart.. :(
    And when she left by train the next day, that was the last time I saw her.

    V nice description. I grew up in a "little big town" but there was never anything to do here either. I ended up playing sports but was always a nerd and musician first. My highschool honestly kicked ass because we had a pretty cool guitar program and tons of theatre, music classes etc. but this stuff always reminds me of standing outside the football stadium with the big lights shining and either talking to "that girl" or just chillin with the boys. There was a Hastings right behind our school and everyone would meet up there sometimes too and just chill in the parking lot or whatever. Hastings is now long gone and here I am married expecting my first child with this playlist on.

    I was sitting on a curb tasting earth
    My half-closed eyes drenched in salt
    And she was smoking a cigarette
    Her bitter heart thought this was my fault
    She sucks my blood, she tears my guts
    She must hate me for something I've done
    It's not genetics or DNA but geography
    The place she was raised
    Some day, you're gonna realize
    But I hope, for my own sake
    The day will come too late
    09:56 *Algernon Cadwallader - **_Springing Leaks_*
    I'm not hugging you no more
    Because you hug back like a cactus
    Out come rosy-red cheeks like springing leaks
    So, shuffle, sway, pick up things and look underneath them
    Trail off and disappear
    Kids grow up and they all have one
    Suburban folk-lore. Legend of failure
    A diamond in the rough polished up to be an immaculate piece of shit
    I hope you make it
    16:25 *Camp Green Lake - **_Chillary Duff_*
    I'm not excited by the thought of waking up to this again
    It’s like the worst fucking excuse for a party that never ends
    And I don't know how long it's been since I could sleep before the A.M
    Or get through a week where I could live up to my own expectations
    And I’ve been choking on my words and I can't act like I don't care
    So I'm cancelling my appointments with the northern Florida air
    And I don't know how long it's been since I could sleep before the A.M
    Or get through a week where I could live up to my own expectations
    Product of my own shit
    But that doesn't mean I'll succumb to it
    As long as I’m still clinging
    To the life that I’ve got left
    18:55 *Mom Jeans. - **_Birks In Stock_*
    You told me it was just a kiss. You never meant for things to end up like this
    For me to fall down the stairs after walking you home
    Your lips on my cheek
    And your voice on my phone
    I'm drunk and all alone....
    You told me it was just one time
    That you don't need me - and alone you're just fine. 'Cause the summer's so long that you'll probably be gone. You think you knew me, but you got it all wrong
    So if you need me, I'll be sleeping, hardly eating, 'cause it's easier than being sad and wishing that you'd love me back
    If you change your mind don't call me, i'm not sorry, cause I've learned to love myself, more than you ever could
    I don't need you anymore
    You told me that you want me back, You made a big mistake, and now you're all sad
    But I know that you'll just bide your time, until you find another guy
    I fell for it once, but I sure as hell won't twice
    So if you need me, I'll be sleeping, hardly eating, 'cause it's easier than being sad and wishing that you'd love me back. If you change your mind, don't call me, I'm not sorry 'cause I've learned to love myself more than you ever could.
    I don't need you anymore
    22:06 *Stars Hollow - **_Participation Award_*
    I don't want to admit it
    But I'll do whatever you want me to
    I'd eat the nails and car scraps
    Up from off the road
    If it would fix something
    Because teeth are just useless bones
    And when my gums are bleeding
    I'll just smile and say
    "I hope you're feeling better"
    Just hoping you say the same
    But I'm not feeling better
    I'm always feeling worse
    I'd never ask for your attention
    I'd never beg for your concern
    I think I deserve some recognition
    Maybe an award for my participation
    And I would love me if I would let me
    But I'm so caught up in what I should be
    I have to be good for something
    I have to be good at something
    Life's just what happens
    Between the times I can sleep
    In a room that's a best friend
    Who won't be kind to me
    No one bothers to ask me why
    I'm in bed all day
    It's just not fair
    That I feel like this every day
    (It happens, I can't be kind to me. Why? It's not fair)
    25:47 *Boy Problems - **_I Swallowed A Bug_*
    Tongue tied around my neck
    Blood dripping from my lips

    Something insignificant
    Rain cloud above my head
    Thunder inside my chest
    I need to ask you
    Something very serious
    Can you draw me? i need to see how you feel
    Can you use me? i need to be how you feel
    My eyes explode. my life explodes
    Regained all of my senses in a fucking second, it's overwhelming me, it's overwhelming me
    I have been numb for so many fucking mondays, it's overwhelming me, it's overwhelming me
    I can recite your smile from one hundred blocks away...
    Can you say the same?
    29:48 *Jazz Cabbage - **_Zach, Stop!_*

    And you're old
    I don't wanna get out of bed today
    I don't wanna stretch my legs
    Or go outside and see my friends
    This is my body
    This is where I lay
    'Cause there are parts of myself I'll have to learn to forget
    It's hard to give you the world when I don't have anything
    I'll help you feel like you're human again
    You're always present but you were never there
    It's hard to search for happiness when I find comfort in despair
    Zach, stop
    Zach, stop, you're gonna get in troublе
    33:12 *Caving - **_Anatomy of a Crush_*
    I saw you twice in one night with tears in your eyes
    The second time we were standing on my back porch
    Watching the rain, watching the sky
    You went on about the world being beautiful
    And how that made you emotional
    I couldn't help but think it was beautiful
    To see someone so passionate about life
    We couldn't see the stars, but you said you could feel them
    I couldn't feel the stars, but I felt something
    I want to tell you that I think you're adorable
    But I think I'd rather you just kick me in the shins
    'Cause I've never been in a relationship
    So by default I'm terrified and desperate
    Awkward and uncomfortable
    I don't want to be vulnerable again
    I'm so over the small talk and wondering
    Could you please just kiss me or crush this?
    I spend too much time thinking of where I belong
    What could go right and what’s gonna go wrong
    It isn’t a matter of writing a song
    It’s pitching a plot line if you want to play along
    But this is more for me than I will ever lead on
    35:21 *Midwest Pen Pals - **_My Castle, Your Castle_*
    "You kids shouldn't play so rough; somebodies gonna start crying"
    Don't think that it's unnoticed, this sudden leave of absence
    It's like everyone
    Left and forgot
    To tell me where
    They were going
    Or maybe they're not part of the plan
    Or maybe I'm not in theirs
    Or maybe they're at Austin's house
    Ooohhh
    Oh and by the way
    Who do you think you are?
    You are a fucking joke
    Fuck
    Your friends are always changing
    Don't think that it's unnoticed
    But when it all feels right they
    Decide to fuck us over
    37:56 *Foxing - **_Sunspotting_*
    I think I'm gonna find my sea legs, I am drifting on
    Summer spots they caught me gleaming, my ocean arms are home
    And I swear I could love it always if summer stayed the same
    I feel like I felt when I'm dreaming when wolves forgot my name
    I think I'm gonna find my sea legs
    You swim with lively arms, you wade with lifeless arms
    We swim in summer lakes sunspotting in landlocked states
    I took my lessons, all of my learnings
    Threw them in the ocean, burned all my earnings
    Weight turned to flight, lifting my shoulders
    (Warped teeth, soft lift, haunting all of these corners)
    Time heals wounds that pin us like boulders
    Struggling, washed out, carry present to former)
    Breath held so long our voices were strangers
    (Gasping, trying so hard to rearrange this)
    Imperfect, we're human, we're not divine rearrangers
    (Longing too form from devine rearrangers)
    43:33 *Panucci's Pizza - **_Naruto Themed Sexting_*
    Well if you come inside, I promise to keep you warm
    Sorry if I scared you when I slammed the car door
    But that doesn't matter now
    You're still plastered on my walls, and I just can't bring myself to cover you
    With the bands that I don't even like at all
    'Cause I'm a ghost in training, because my heart's been waning
    Because of all the shit I've been eating, I know one day my heart'll stop beating
    I'm sorry for everything I've done and said
    I'm sorry for every tear that's dropped
    I'm sorry for all the times you didn't get to drive me home
    Well if you come inside, I promise to keep you warm
    Sorry for scaring you for being the selfish fuck I know I am

    I never had such warm memories with any friend. Had a girlfriend, we deeply loved each other but somehow this playlist doesn't remind me of the times I spent with her either. This makes me think of the many autumn afternoons I spent on our terrace by myself, watering my little bush of 9 o'clocks or just looking at the sunset, clouds, doing pushups or writing names of any new band I like on the old watertank.

I would sit home all day and wait for whole playlists to finish while looking at the walls in my room. Sometimes I would smoke cigarettes while doing that. Idk man, I know one person who actually understands me and listens to midwest emo and I fell in love with him one year ago, but I don't hear from him alot. It seems like he almost steped out from the world and lives with the fact that he hates it. I wish I could at least help him out as a friend. I don't know why is he so special to me, but I know that this is real. Sometimes I feel so connected to him and sometimes he seems untouchable.

      a lot of times in life we get caught in the what if’s. what if i had done this if only i had done this. it feels like torture you beat yourself up if only i had done that. No matter how many times you think that and beat yourself up about it, you can’t go back, you can’t change it. that’s the thing about being human we have so much power but once the moments gone we’re powerless. we are powerless to change the past so it’s important to not get caught in the what if’s. the longer you’re caught in them, the more what if’s are gonna come about. you must accept that you are human and you make mistakes, however the mistakes don’t make you. you remember them when you’re in a future moment to not do the same thing. i hope you’re well and doing better now dawg.
