There Are Certain Mitski Songs And Lyrics That Everyone Who Likes Her Music Seem To Relate To And I Do
There are certain mitski songs and lyrics that everyone who likes her music seem to relate to and I do too but these ones?? me. em coded:
“You say you love me. I believe you do. But I walk down and up and down this street. ‘Cause you just don’t like me. Not like you used to” — That’s Our Lamp
“And if I break, could I go on break? Be back in my room, writin’ speeches in my head. Listenin’ to the thousand hands clapping me in the dark” — When Memories Snow
Literally ALL of I’m Your Man (I think this is the most relatable song of hers to me - rn at least)
Literally all of Why Didn’t You Stop Me
“‘Cause I need somebody to remember my name. After all that I can do for them is done. I need someone to remember me. I need something bigger than the sky. Hold it in my arms and know it’s mine. Just how many stars will I need to hang around me. To finally call it heaven?” — Remember My Name
“Just don’t leave me alone. Wondering where you are. I’m stronger than you give me credit for” — I Don’t Smoke

Studio Ghibli movies are so peaceful, I want to live in a world like that, I wanna bake, I wanna run through the woods, I wanna run through the meadows, I wanna meet magical people, I wanna have adventures, and I wanna live in a fantasy world
thinking about how when you experience a lot of shame in your formative years (indirectly, directly, as abuse or just as an extant part of your environment) it becomes really difficult to be perceived by other people in general. the mere concept of someone watching me do anything, whether it's a totally normal activity or something unfamiliar of embarrassing, whether I'm working in an excel spreadsheet or being horny on main, it just makes my skin crawl and my brain turn to static because I cannot convince myself that it's okay to be seen and experienced. because to exist is to be ashamed and embarrassed of myself, whether I'm failing at something or not, because my instinctive reaction to anyone commenting on ANYTHING I'm doing is to crawl into a hole and die. it's such a bizarre and dehumanizing feeling to just not be able to exist without constantly thinking about how you are being Perceived. ceaseless watcher give me a god damn break.
I’ve seen people pass around the “hold up, I’m googlin’ something” image but it cropped out the part where he was googling “how many guys can one guy take”
Going from “I have to trust what I say and think about myself, not what others tell me and say about me” to “I must trust what others tell me and say about me, not what I say and think about myself” is so DIFFICULT🗿
