"Does such a thing as 'the fatal flaw,' that showy dark crack running down the middle of a life, exist outside literature? I used to think it didn't. Now I think it does. And I think that mine is this: a morbid longing for the picturesque at all costs."

Donna Tartt, The Secret History

Thanks for listening! I've noticed that fans online trying to find connections between my songs has led them to learning more about music, which is really cool! To answer your question, this doesn't really have a name! You actually have a few different melodies, scales, and chord progressions here that on a theory level don't have much in common outside of including notes that are generally moving downward. Some of these are progressions or melodic bits I've used in multiple songs, but for instance what's happening in the example you used from I/Me/Myself is a totally different thing from what you used as an example in 6up 5oh. In IMM, it's just a major scale progression from a major (1 chord) to its relative minor (6 chord) with a leading tone between - that's also happening in Lysergide Daydream, alongside going from a 4th to a 5th beforehand! In 6up 5oh, it's a pretty popular riff following along a descending chromatic scale. In Laplace, it's a minor scale going from the fifth to the root. Some of these are the same progression, (like Half Decade Hangover's and It's Kind of a Lot's descending parts) some of them are similar, and some of them are completely different aside from them simply going in a downward direction. If you pay close attention, you'll start noticing the common phenomenon here all over the place regardless of genre, artist, location, or era! Thanks again for listening, glad you dig the tunes! Much love! :)

Hey, unpopular opinion, apparently. But people don’t just “have pain for no reason” doctors say this all the time (especially to women and chronically ill people) and the truth is, Thats literally not possible. Even if your pains are psychosomatic (a word I hesitate to even use because of the way its used so often) there is a reason you are having those pains whether its mental illness, abuse, etc. If your doctor consistently tells you that “well some people just have pain for no reason” get a new doctor. That’s a doctor who is not going to give a shit what your actual symptoms or experiences are.

getting on track after academic burnout ୧ ‧₊˚ ⋅ ☆

( def. ) Academic burnout happens due to a mix of work and home life pressures. Common symptoms of burnout include a feeling of being unable to keep up, feeling overwhelmed, and exhausted, being unable to sleep and feeling anxious.

i made this post because I also recently had to go through one , and this is how I got back on track !

1. realise ‎♡‧₊.

academic burnouts can happen to the best of us. in this year of me taking studying seriously , i never experienced it until last week and i honestly thought something was wrong with me . i wasnt able to focus at all and even doing homework felt like a chore , it took me a while but i understood that i was burnt out ; the reason ? i overworked myself 3 weeks prior because of tests ! i became mentally tired

accepting you're just burnt out is super important ! i honestly spent my first 1 -2 days of rest just blasting lana del ray ! embarce it haha

2. rest‎ (⁠≧⁠▽⁠≦⁠)

after knowing you're in a rut , you're mentally exhausted , GIVE YOUR BODY REST !! one week is more than enough. keep your planner away for a week and just live the day as it goes on . DO NOT engage in heavy studying for a week at least , just do your home works if you wish

3. reset ‧₊˚ ⋅ ☆

indulge in things you enjoy watching , eating , reading !! go out w friends <3 refresh your mind and soul ! cleanse it all :D i personally binge watched zbtv , theKstarNextDoor , dive podcasts and some GoSe episodes ! these make me so so happy and really helped my mind be at peace

4. small steps(⁠ ⁠◜⁠‿⁠◝⁠ ⁠)⁠♡

after around 5 days of complete rest , start motivating yourself on the 6th-7th days !! watching youtube vlogs really helps !! go on pinterest , get inspired to study , romaticise it !! and get back on track slowly.
