oh hey! yes you can hehe i’ll put the full paragraphs under the cut, and i’ll do a mini summary above the cut (is that a thing?)

little things by allie x: you’re tired and not functioning like a person

nobody by mitski: you’re lonely and yearning

cracks in the floor of heaven by oh honey: you’re... sad and overthinking?

sign of the times by harry styles: you’re overwhelmed and turning to escapism

liability by lorde: you’re alone and sad and worried you’re never enough

my friends by oh wonder: you just feel heavy

old habits die hard by allie x: you’re thinking about going back to a bad habit

is it really me you’re missing by nina nesbitt: you’re missing someone that’s not good for you

dancing on my own by robyn: you’re angry and you want to scream

tbh now that i’m reading these some of them are kinda... similar but i’ve seen a few that people were like “ah that’s accurate” so i’m glad!

Little Things by Allie X: you’re tired. there are no words to describe that kind of tiredness. everything feels too much, takes too much effort. you struggle to feel human, to act human, to be human. you’re kinda falling apart but you’re convinced that you must keep up with the pretence and it is not pleasant. you’re worried that other people will see you and think you’re weak, but you know what? you’re not. take a deep breath and keep going.

Nobody by Mitski: you’re lonely. i don’t know how well you’re coping with this loneliness but it exists within you and it might be eating you alive, bit by bit. and you’re yearning for some kind of love or meaningful human contact with someone you’re not related to, and you’re wondering if you as a person are lovable. (spoiler alert: you are, but you won’t believe me, because you’ve stayed up till 4:13am and nothing feels real anymore.)

Cracks in the Floor of Heaven by Oh Honey: the night is quiet but your head is not. every single thought you’ve ever had is swimming inside your mind, and you feel a little close to drowning. all you find is regret and wistfulness and sorrow. but this is not all. you try to be strong but it doesn’t come to you easily. so here’s a gentle reminder: it’s okay to not be okay. it’s okay to be waiting for a miracle. and it’s even more okay for you to grasp at little joys as they come.

Sign of the Times by Harry Styles: the world is too much, and your head is spinning, and you simply cannot keep up. there is only distraction, yet there is no relief. you have an idealised version in your head, of the world and of yourself, and then reality crashes onto you, an unfeeling tsunami. you feel like you’re eternally running, in every direction, never to rest. please go get yourself a hot cup of water/tea and drink it slowly. give yourself permission to take it slow.

Liability by Lorde: you’re alone and it’s getting to you. you’re starting to wonder if this is all you will have, for the rest of your life. it’s a constant battle you fight, trying to be malleable to what others want you to be, and it makes you feel like you are at once too much and not enough. this intense feeling pokes at you with every inhale, every exhale, and there seems to be no escape. when in doubt, listen to liability (reprise) and you might find a gentle hug. remember this: you do not exist for other people.

My Friends by Oh Wonder: your bones feel heavy. you’re confused; there are tears a few seconds away from spilling yet you do not really know why. you’re sitting still and feeling your body move with every inhale and exhale. this indescribable feeling, this weight, almost knocks you over, but you try your best to hold on. remember that you are not a burden, that you’re allowed to gather strength with other people, that no burden is too hard to bear. listen to better now (acoustic) and let that soothe you as you drift off to sleep.

Old Habits Die Hard by Allie X: i don’t know who or what you’re thinking about, but you’re thinking about it alright. you’re battling two opposing desires and you just can’t seem to let go. at this point it almost seems hopeless, because you just can’t fight it. but please, don’t go back to what hurts you. wrap your fuzzy blanket a little tighter around you. breathe. and forgive yourself. that’s the most important step. 

Is It Really Me You’re Missing by Nina Nesbitt: you’re thinking about them again, and you just can’t help it. this night is cold, and it is cruel. you’re lonely, and you’re having seven imaginary conversations with them, and you’ve put your phone out of your reach so that you’ll be less tempted. you have all this longing within you and no one to tell it to, but you will be alright. open a new notes on your phone and write it all down there. it will take a while to breathe normally again, and it will take a while for the words to stop coming, but someday the words will bring relief, not pain. 

Dancing On My Own by Robyn: your mind is throbbing and alive. you’re angry and you’re sad and maybe you’d rather feel nothing, because the sky’s falling and pinning you down. maybe you’re suppressing a scream that threatens to escape at this midnight hour. and all of a sudden all that energy goes away and you just feel hollow. but please don’t worry. someday you’ll feel whole again.
