“I forgive people but that doesn’t mean I accept their behavior or trust them again. I forgive them for me, so I can let go and move on with my life.”

Going to stop paying attention. I’ve noticed enough

[3deepbreaths]

do you ever think about me and want to call me? wonder how i’m doing or miss what we were? are there times when you make love to other women and you long for the way i touched you? or do you sit in indifference or hate, full of spite for the sorrow and anguish i caused you? do you think me little and irrelevant? when you sleep at night, do you hear me in your dreams or do you see me in your nightmares? why do i have to pretend i don’t want you? why can’t i tell what you’re feeling? why do i delude myself into believing you might want me too? you��re so amazing. the person i trusted. the other half of my soul. i cannot describe what being without you is like, but i cannot bear it. i smoke and drink and read and use music to escape it like it will help me forget but all it does it make me nostalgic and wish you were back in my arms. every part of me that i like, i like because of you. i don’t know how to be better without thinking of being better for you.

things i want to say to you. but won’t.

the constancy of the rejections leaves me always wondering where i fit, and if i ever will

[3deepbreaths]

when do i figure out where i belong? is it a feeling that comes from someone? is it a time, a place?

what does the ‘you made it’ sign look like?

[3deepbreaths]

why do i have to speak of it to be considered upset about it?

[3deepbreaths]

[3deepbreaths]

does anyone actually see me?

[3deepbreaths]

constantly dwindling my comfort to make sure you’re comfortable.

are you comfortable? am i uncomfortable? do i make you uncomfortable?

why am i never comfortable?

what is comfort?

why can’t i feel it?

[3deepbreaths]

“i love you anyways.”

“i love you despite it.”

why can i never be loved because of it?

I’m elated to tell you that my 9th studio album, and folklore’s sister record, will be out tonight at midnight eastern. It’s called evermore. To put it plainly, we just couldn’t stop writing songs. To try and put it more poetically, it feels like we were standing on the edge of the folklorian woods and had a choice: to turn and go back or to travel further into the forest of this music. We chose to wander deeper in. I’ve never done this before. In the past I’ve always treated albums as one-off eras and moved onto planning the next one after an album was released. There was something different with folklore. In making it, I felt less like I was departing and more like I was returning. I loved the escapism I found in these imaginary/not imaginary tales. I loved the ways you welcomed the dreamscapes and tragedies and epic tales of love lost and found into your lives. So I just kept writing them. And I loved creating these songs with Aaron Dessner, Jack Antonoff, WB, and Justin Vernon. We’ve also welcomed some new (and longtime) friends to our musical kitchen table this time around…

"I can't do this" isn't always an expression of negativity, insecurity and laziness. Sometimes it's a conclusion made based on self acceptance, self respect and self awareness. Having limits, being aware of them and respecting them isn't inherently bad or weak and we need to stop demonizing it.
