2023

Happy Mallie Mondays and Happy Summer! And thank GOD it’s Summer.

Now that it’s nice out in California again, expect to see me basking in the sun until it goes away in September.

Been going through a lot of changes this month, so June’s playlist feels like Summertime growing pains. I am also wanting to say I am dialing back a ton on writing on this blog as, like I have previously said, I have other more important writing projects that have taken precedence. I have also deleted most of the past blog posts, leaving just bare bones posts with highlights. I love making the playlists every month and I love writing, but I can’t do two writing projects simultaneously. My brain just doesn’t work like that.

Plus, it’s my last Summer in Coronado. The last shebang. I am excited for the months ahead, and plan to take them in as slowly as possible. It’s already almost July, which is unbelievable to me.

I plan to continue to make a playlist monthly, but the blog posts gotta go. Sorry not sorry. Bigger things to come (someday)!

Playlist Highlights:

Love Drought - Beyoncé

Favorite lyrics:
All the loving I've been giving goes unnoticed
It's just floating in the air, lookie there
Are you aware you're my lifeline, are you tryna kill me
If I wasn't me, would you still feel me?
Like on my worst day?
Or am I not thirsty, enough?
I don't care about the lights or the beams
Spend my life in the dark for the sake of you and me
Only way to go is up, skin thick, too tough

The Chain - Fleetwood Mac

Favorite lyrics:
Damn your love, damn your lies
Break the silence,
damn the dark, damn the light
And if you don't love me now
You will never love me again
I can still hear you saying
You would never break the chain

You'll miss me when I'm not around - Grimes

Favorite lyrics:
If you don't bleed, then you don't die
Cross my heart and hope to fly
If you like it, then you'll make it out alive
If they could see me now,
smiling six-feet underground
I'll tie my feet to rocks and drown
You'll miss me when I'm not around!
Last call, last call
You'll miss me when I'm not around!

Change - Blind Melon

Favorite lyrics:
And oh, as I fade away
They'll all look at me and say
And they'll say, "Hey, look at him"
"I'll never live that way"
And that's ok, they're just afraid to change

All That Ever Mattered - Haim

Favorite lyrics:
So what is it like now that you don't have me?
So what is it like?
Nevermind, don't tell me
Do you think about all the things I did to you?
Do you think about how to get me back?
When you remember that, to me
All that ever mattered was you, baby
All that ever mattered was you, baby
And I guess you never knew
All that ever mattered was you, babe

Anything But Me - MUNA

Favorite lyrics:
Go ahead and hate me as long as you need to
Go ahead and break me a piece of your mind
Say I always had one foot out
Well, baby, I got two now
Good thing I've never been afraid of goodbye
You say that you wanna change
Well, I hope you get everything you want
Everything you want
You say that you need relief
Well, I hope you get everything you need
Everything but me

Anti-Hero - Taylor Swift

Favorite lyrics:
I should not be left to my own devices
They come with prices and vices
I end up in crisis (tale as old as time)
I wake up screaming from dreaming
One day I'll watch as you're leaving
'Cause you got tired of my scheming
