Oof, what a way to start this series. I already knew how much I enjoyed your writing, but this essay in particular - woah. I love how you weave your thoughts and experiences throughout, and I did listen to the song while I read it - thanks for the recommendation! And thank you for sharing a bit of yourself like this ❤️
I don't think I could move far away from my family. Not that I go back to visit that often either (home is an uncomfortable place for me these days), but I feel better knowing it's an option and my parents are only a train ride away (well, train and Tube, heh).
belated happy birthday, friend! <3 thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and experiences. i love "wave" and the whole Your Choice album too, but I kind of lost the habit of looking up lyric translations. I resonated so much with what you said about the dreams of living away vs the reality of whether you could actually do it, having too much you want to do and never enough time... funny that I'm the one living in a bustling city and I want nothing more than a quieter place to live, but I guess we all tend to want what we don't have
Thank you, also belatedly!! 😁 I'm grateful you've read and found this relatable in at least a few ways. I was also hoping for some readers for this who actually know the song, haha. These days, it's also not often that I look up lyric translations, but when a song speaks to me on a deeper level, even without fully understanding every word, I do take the time to look for a translation and compare several different ones to find the best one.
I do envy that you can live in the kind of city I dream about! But ever since I wrote these feelings out of me, I've been trying to appreciate the beauty of the place that I'm tied to.
Thank you so much for reading! 💜 Sorry I always respond a bit late to comments here but for these very personal writings, it feels a bit heavy to revisit them, so I tend to put it off.
When you say you enjoy my writing, just know that it's a big part of why I keep doing this 🥹 I used to not believe in my writing abilities but if just one person enjoys it, then I have a reason to do it.
