Notes
I am turning eighteen this month. I am sad.
Here are eight songs that practically smell/taste of something far away, unreachable; longing for something that isn't there. A ghost of being a child.

this is such a lovely, aching kind of mix, you've definitely captured being in that phase of life, it's a very intense transition, it's been a while for me now, but this definitely brought the memory of that age into sharp focus. you always have such lovely mixes, listening is always a treat. happy (belated?) birthday, I hope, despite all the mixed feelings, that it was a good one <3

@waver.ing it really is, I never know quite how to put it, because I don't want to sound condescending or dismissive of how hard it really is, and I can remember being that age and how much I honestly couldn't even imagine or dare to hope that it could ever be better, but now, now I can speak with experience and just say, yeah, it's a rough time, but gets more than better, it becomes something that I never even knew could exist outside of movies and fairytales, back then. I don't know if that helps at all or anything, but you know, sometimes it just needs to be said. keep making mixes, you have beautiful taste in music, and music can get you through the worst of it and the best of it.

@callmewolf wow. thank you so much. that means the world to me. honestly, it is so refreshing for someone a bit older than me to not be ignorant and acknowledge that I have a brain in my head, especially in this day and age. it is almost as if people forget how it feels to be a teenager and that almost in a blink of an eye you're a young adult with pretty much no preparation. thank you for remembering.
