beard thoughts + good song
i fucking love this song, it really speaks to me. just never truly feeling 100% a part of something and feeling like a lot of people don't understand you, or trying to put labels on you so that they can pretend like they understand. it's a little isolating and i've felt like that for most of my life.
don't get me wrong i'm happy to have friends and stuff, but for a lot of the places i've been and the friends i've had, it feels very temporary because none of them understand me. it feels somewhere in between understanding and tolerating. i think this is just another part of why i'll never be in a serious relationship again either, because i'm a bit of a challenge to unpack. it's not like i can change that either, because i feel like i'd be giving up a fundamental part of myself. i don't want to be with someone who isn't willing to unpack that, either, because then it would just feel fake. a lot of things feel fake and fleeting, and i guess a lot of people just learn how to accept it and push through because their priorities aren't quite the same.
i'm not as famous as vinny is (the lead singer and writer of this song), but i can sort of feel that same thing. everybody seems to know who you are, but nobody seems to KNOW who you are and most people also don't seem to care to know. you just sort of have to accept your position in life sometimes and make the most of it, and try to make yourself the best version of yourself you can be despite anything else.
