I had plans on printing this one but the printer is not in an easily accessible location guys... my dad has it held hostage kinda. If one day I just end up printing like 10 of these posts and I do one big post of them printed donโt say anything... just vibe.
This zine is all about old friendships I had... some photos by me, some photos fromย dupe photos because I just donโt have pictures from that time anymore. Thanks so much to the creators who uploaded to dupe! Making art possible to someone who lost a bunch of pictures to the void.
The writing is probably all over the place, I wrote most of these at night. I will say for all of them I just felt so incredibly empty... While I can say I do miss these people I also really donโt want to know them. I donโt want to know how they are or anything, just as if we both POOF! disappeared. Itโs been like that for most of these people, and itโs been nice. Iโll hold all the good memories in a snowglobe, but we donโt have to meet today or in the future. Thank you!
This song is sad as hell I know I know... Sufjan Stevens saved lives releasing this album in the summer, seriously. The carnage this wouldโve caused as a winter release. Anyways, I have strong memories tied to my very first true friendship (? this was a situationship if weโre gonna be honest) breakup with this song. I remember having a lot of reallly sweet memories with friends tied to his music, his happier songs. By the time one of my friendships was absolutely falling apart, I had gone to a Sufjan Stevens concert (for this album!) by myself and remembered seeing that friend and their new partner and just crying my eyes out before actually walking around DPAC to get to my parents car. It was tough, and now I just. Associate this song with a candle blowing out, with a balmy summer night and taking a long walk by yourself. Thatโs how the end of that friendship felt, that and like Hell of course.
