unfortunately i’m still recovering from “are they second hand embarrassed that i can’t get out of bed ‘cause something counterfeit is dead??” it reminds me of something finally starting to feel like. I’ve Gotten Over it. unfortunately that means i’m looking back at the last couple of years with a clearer eye and going “well that shit was embarrassing and pathetic!!! oops!!”

actually the only other song (edit: besides who’s afraid) from ttpd that i’m close to listening to as much (they’re both on my on repeat playlist) is i can do it with a broken heartwhich is very “*writing with a glitter gel pen* i’m losing my sense of humanity” of me. the duality of being me. etc.

ending midnights with “is that your key in the door? Is it okay? Is it you? Or have them come to take me away?” and then immediately starting ttpd with “I was supposed to be sent away but they forgot to come and get me” we never stood a chance

Taylor Swift watching her ex on a location app because he forgot to turn it off I'm obsessed with you admitting that to the entire world.
