I sometimes listen to Relient K.
I know I know. I try to tell myself that I am above them. I try to be cool and pretend like I would only ever listen to bands such as The National, Sigur Ros, Arcade Fire, The Avett Brothers and Band of Horses...I even try to like (and if I am with especially "cool" people pretend like I do like) Sufjan Stevens, Radiohead, and Mumford & Sons.
But sometimes...sometimes you just have to listen to a Relient K song or two. That is just life, my friends. Don't fight it. My only comfort is that these times are the exception, not the rule. But to be fair (okay fine, in an attempt to justify my middle-schooler-ish music taste) sometimes Rk really can just say it right. They can remind me that problems don't go away even if they're ignored, and they challenge me to not move into comfortable little boxes and then not have the desire to move on.
And then other times I listen to them and remember why I need to leave Relient k in middle school--because I really don't care about mood rings, sadie hawkins dances, or pink tuxes worn to the prom.

About Me
- Lore
- This blog is basically how I de-stress from 1.) all the awkwardness I encounter and cause on a daily basis and 2.) life in general. You know all of those little situations and bumps in the road that you don't give a second that about? (No, you don't know, because you didn't give them a second thought.) Well, those kinds of situations tend to create existential dilemmas in my soul. So at some point I will probably give you too much in depth information on my emotional, spiritual, and mental health, because some self-absorbed part of me thinks you really want to know.
