I started this other post to try and capture how I feel, but it was so messy. Looking at it all there, I don’t want to share that here for all. I need someone to talk to. Someone who knew me before and liked me then. In the process of growing up I think I lost some of my better qualities. How do you get the good parts back? I want to talk about all that and go through photos & scrapbooks & keepsakes & get all these people back in my life & not live all across the world instead.

Also, I’m having the surgery. Next week. I don’t want to talk to people about it, but I still feel weird about it so I’ve been closed off.

The Beatles Abbey Road Experience came out on Friday and it feels like an early birthday present. I love it! It has outtakes and different versions of the songs on the album, some songs not released with Abbey Road, different arrangements, and so many moments of them talking to each other. This song in particular and their conversation at the end make me laugh.

I read a pretty good article about this anniversary release on Thursday, but it did not prepare me well enough for the extent I would giggle from this. Just them goofing together and laughing despite the inevitable split. They really did just start out as these goofy friends with a desire to make music.

My Discover Weekly playlist on Spotify this week is a rush of nostalgia.

Holland, 1945 - Neutral Milk Hotel

At The Bottom of Everything - Bright Eyes
Kissing the Lipless - The Shins
That Time - Regina Spektor
Two Weeks - Grizzly Bear
Oh Lately It's So Quiet - OK Go
Anti-Anti - Snowden
We've Been Had - The Walkmen
Nights of the Living Dead - Tilly and the Wall

And then, most shockingly, a new song by Allison Weiss. Have they been stalking me? I don't know if they're trying so much to introduce me to new music or turn me back to myself.  The college version. Oh that age.  There are so many things I wish I could tell myself then. Your anxiety isn't something to be ashamed of.  Be honest, ask for help. MOISTURIZER - use it daily!  Eat less candy, you won't die. Don't stop reading for pleasure.  Take it slow girl.


True love is more than
A make out song
Waited to tell you
Way too long
Wait a little bit
