Hanging Scroll with Dancing Skeletons - Kawanabe Kyōsai // Ribs - Lorde

Ribs by lorde is beauty and heartbreak and hatred and the gaping hole in my chest that’s always been there and not feeling like home anywhere because it won’t be your home forever and this life you know so well won’t be your life forever and neither will any life you’ll ever lead and it’s scary and it’s growing into your own skin and it’s beautiful

I don’t wanna grow up I want to be a teenager forever I’m freaking out

i recently created a playlist for everyone who’s starting college and moving out of the house! for everyone who’s scared of what the future holds! give it a listen and remember, it’s scary when things change but it’s scarier when they don’t! you have plenty of time to figure out what you want to do and who you want to be! it’s only time and it’s yours!

go give it a listen!

it only just hit me this past week that i’m not gonna be a teenager forever and i think it’s really hard for me to cope with that

i think it’s cos this past week was my older sisters last week and today was her last day of high school ever and i’m a really emotional person so obviously i cried and it just makes me realise how fast time goes by and how we need to cherish moments with our loved ones and friends

especially because me and my sister won’t always live together and will eventually grow apart and our partners and possibly children will become our closest relatives and most important ppl in our lives and not eachother

(listening to ribs by lorde on repeat to type this)

i still have two more years of high school and it’s really hard because obviously i’ll still see her but it’s just nice knowing she’s there if i need help or if i’m having a bad day and just need my older sister but now im not gonna have that anymore and i just feel rlly sad about this

it feels like yesterday we were playing in the garden on our trampoline and didn’t have to worry about school or our futures and growing up

idk if this post is really over dramatic but i feel emotions so intensely that i have to express them in this way

ik no one will read this but i needed to get this out of my system

“This dream isn’t feeling sweet

We’re reeling through the midnight streets

And i’ve never felt more alone

Feels so scary getting old”

Evening Longing (Paris at Night) - Gustaw Gwozdecki // Ribs - Lorde

[rainparadefromhell]

was listening to ribs again (i belong in a mental institution) and i always got almost angry with the way the song ends. kinda really suddenly going from this sick beat into a fade out that lasts like barely 10 seconds and then it's all over.

i realized it's actually a perfect ending for the song. it seems to me like it almost shouldn't have an ending. this whole thing of remembering your youth, wanting to be a kid again, turning back time. it's the opposite of closure. it's desperately trying to cling onto the feeling the past even romanticizing it and it's growing pains, i'd say.

that's why the ending is like a dream trying to trick and suck you in again because

that will never be enough
