eine Pause

“It was November--the month of crimson sunsets, parting birds, deep, sad hymns of the sea, passionate wind-songs in the pines. Anne roamed through the pineland alleys in the park and, as she said, let that great sweeping wind blow the fogs out of her soul.” - L.M. Montgomery

I woke up today, glad that I live in a world with Novembers. The past ten days have been full of corners with sweet surprises around them, and I feel all the more motivated to log off until December, so that I may enjoy the last month of fall with no distractions. Solitude threatens to leave me every day that the holidays get closer, and I intend to spend as much time as we have left together this year. Technically, it is 9:30 PM and I am on my couch with my laptop propped in a sort of ridiculous fashion between my legs. But truthfully, I feel more like I am writing to you from the park outside the art museum across from my house. The paths wind through the soft hills, littered with flower beds and trees among the grassy meadow. There is a pond with ducks and turtles, quacking and splashing happily under the sun. The sky is blushing pink, and I blush too at the thought of us falling in love. Me and the November sky.

Here are the albums we’ve been listening to together.

How Do You Feel About Getting Married - Dijon

I am convinced that if Dijon and I were ever to meet, we would be kindred spirits of sorts. This little EP is an ode to what it’s like for melancholy people to fall in love.

Moonsense - Fishdoll

Words don’t really do this album justice for me. A transformative listen fr.

Vie - Doja Cat

This might be my favorite Doja Cat album. Lately, we’ve been prepping fire lines for prescribed burns, and I’ve been turning to this album to keep me motivated when I feel anything but Gorgeous as pieces of grass whack me in the face, and blackberry vines threaten my sanity. In an era where everyone is too embarrassed to dance, I’m glad someone is putting out music that is impossible to stand still to.

Son of Spergy - Daniel Caesar

I was somewhat disappointed in Daniel Caesar’s album before this one, but this one has been a completely different experience. Once I got over the cringe Have My Baby track, I found this album to be the perfect soundtrack for me and November to fall in love to. The first 20 seconds of Root of All Evil alone captured my heart completely.

Honorable Single

Disco Man - Remi Wolf | Speaking of bringing back dancing…

No Need To Worry - Daniel Caesar ft. Clairo | Now that my love for Daniel has returned

That’s all for now. I’ve run out of charlie brown music motifs, so things may look a little different around here when I come back. I guess I’ll see y’all on the other side of the small bend in the road that awaits.

me taking mercury retrograde seriously this month lmao

From the stars,
