I woke up with The Sads this morning. This is probably to have been expected: I was migrainey last week (though at least only the silent variety), and had more migraine taste in my mouth overnight; I’m overtired/overstimulated to the point where I developed an eye twitch on Sunday night, something I don’t remember having […]

Apparently we are on a Malinda kick for a bit 😀 I’m sure we’ll all survive though, right? <3 This is the song of hers that convinced me to go buy her album, and I kind of just want to listen to it on repeat and marinate in the lyrics until they permeate every aspect
