“I wrote this album when I was 19 years old. And uh, I was going through a really tough time when I wrote it, and you guys showed me that there’s so many people going through the same things I was going through. This album is really important to me ‘cause when I wrote this album I was so confident in myself. I knew who the fuck I was. I was 19 years old, and I said “Don’t belong to no fucking city, don’t belong to no fucking man”, man. But I was so wrong. Because I, I was gonna forget who I was and then find her again, and then forget who I was, and find her again, and forget her, and find her, and forget her, and find her. And I learned to stop being so hard on myself for changing, and for growing, and for learning. I don’t usually like to give a ton of advice during my show because I mean, what the fuck do I know? I’m a disaster. But if I do give you one piece of advice right now, I want to remind you that if you lose yourself it is never too late find yourself again. And when you stumble upon the person that you used to be, they’ll be so happy to see you.”
— “Forget Her and Find Her” by Halsey (BADLAND: Live from Webster Hall)
folklore by @taylorswift reminds me of car rides that looked a little like this or sitting in the summer shade while the breeze hits your face and you can’t help but feel content, like nothing else matters in the world.
postcards from summer ‘16, when my only worries were getting the shot while my dad drove around the mountains of one of my favorite places in the world. I wish I had this album back then, would have been the perfect companion to an otherwise lonely back seat.
