I'm so proud of all the things that you have done
They name Ajikan as one of their influences. I can hear it in their songs.
The strum of the guitar is the sound of youth and it never fails to bring tears to my eyes.
(And no, the conjunctivitis has nothing to do with it)
the pillows are equally associated with youth in my mind, and the bittersweet feeling I get is the same. Actually, when I think about it, the word "youth" doesn't properly convey the experience. The Japanese really got it right; 青春 directly translates to blue spring, and metaphorically means "spring of life". A time when living things bloom and grow. Where hope rises from the barren land that winter leaves us to suffer in. I guess that when I say that I am a lexiphile, it's mostly towards non-English words, phrases, and euphemisms. But going back to the subject, I don't think that there's any feeling in the world that is quite like the sweet suffering you feel as you go through adolescence. Nothing compares to that feeling of always wanting to fight off reality. It's something that should be cherished by everyone.
