Ive Been Listening To This Song, And Lots Of Slowdive, For A Few Years Now. They Are Great. Recently,

I’ve been listening to this song, and lots of Slowdive, for a few years now. They are great. Recently, I’ve seen this specific song used for a trend on TikTok. It’s usually these lyrics - “It matters where you are”, and the instrumental part behind a slideshow that starts with a picture of whoever posted the TikTok. They usually say something along the lines of “maybe in another universe/lifetime I’m _____”, and then the rest of the slideshow presents characters in film and literature that can relate. I think it’s cool.
I’ve been thinking a lot about this particular trend on TikTok, and I think it’s meaning is deeper than just a selfie and characters we like, especially regarding the lyrics.
As someone who has spent a lifetime trying to either figure out where they belong or bask in hopelessness that they never will, with all the given situations it really does matter where you are. Now it’s up to interpretation. I’m not sure where I stand on the belief of past lives and reincarnation, but I do know that for as long as I’m in this godforsaken small town, I’ll never have a best friend, or probably romance. In this situation, it would matter where I am. I’ll probably find love and true friendship far away from where I am now.
I think the trend itself could also spark hope and self-acceptance, oddly enough. Me personally, I’d wish that I was beautiful in another lifetime. In that way, I’ve accepted that people won’t find me beautiful in this lifetime, and I’ll have to learn to find myself beautiful. That would be all I needed. But I do see a big hole, especially when people use the trend to talk about loss. I hope they are already comforted and have an idea on what’s after life, because I don’t, and I miss a whole lot of people.
It’s had me thinking and that’s what I thought.
So don’t lose hope ever. At the end of today and every other day, it’ll always matter where you are. If you can’t go somewhere else now, you’ll eventually be able to.

The way they're acting like "ceasefire" means "go blow yourselves up" is just. A ceasefire is nothing. It's less than the bare minimum. It's not "rebuild what you destroyed." It's not "pay the victims remaining of the families you killed." It's not "rehabilitate Gaza." It's not any of the demands that could be made in this situation. It's just... Stop. Stop killing them. And even that is treated like it's so fucking extreme and if you call for it you must want Jews to die. Politicians with an agenda can really demonize anything.
she wants him like how she wants her childhood back. like how she wants that blanket on her tired skin. those days that always had a planned start and finish. the foggy white and yellow. she wants him like how she wants her childhood back. with undefiled and puerile yearning.
The “do you think we’re best friends in every universe” trend on tiktok actually makes me cry everytime I see it
