High School Junior years, damn...
>>61043934

>>61043891
Obviously you dumbfuck
>>61044043
well im stoned right now sooo lol. oh well im in a good place listening to some tunes right now
>>61043960
Same. My views on weed wildly change every couple of months...maybe its the weed.
freshman year of highschool
>>61044077
ive thought that so many times.
its the same thing with jerking off. sometimes im like shit i gotta stop all together, then im like ah its not so bad, then im like fuck just jerk off all the time.
maybe i just cant make up my mind about shit
>>61044095
oh im jealous of ur ass
This was my middle school
>>61044121
What is addiction ?
my sophomore, junior and senior years of high school :(
>>61044121
holy fuck, the jerking off thing is true for me as well.
Honestly, I've found out that I just have a very addictive personality, if that's the right phrasing. I've realized I can get addicted to almost anything. Except honest to god hard work, unfortunately.
>>61044121
yea i get that but im just not an addictive person. ive stopped drinking and smoked on and off but never felt the need to have a ciggartte. i just smole wehn i feel like it.
its just things like weed and jerking off seem ok to me, but social stigmas around those things also make me think again about it
In April of my sophomore year of high school I moved to a different neighborhood in the same town. It was a very different area from where I had lived before, essentially was in the woods. I was the first stop on my bus and the bus ride was 30-45 min. I used to get lost just trying to figure where I was going and allowing myself to get lost in the trees that covered the whole area. I have distinct memories of listening to homogenic in my new room which was mostly empty save for my bed, my record player, and small basketball hoop on my door. Around this time I also went to Atlanta and Nashville for a couple days with my mom and older sister for college tours and I loved exploring the outskirts of Atlanta, where it doesn't feel like a city at all because you're basically surrounded by trees in a suburban area. Also I stopped in this really cool record store and got a jay reatard record and a Grimm family choir record there.
The albums I associate with this specific spring and all its events are
Pic related
Lou reed- transformer
The minders- hooray for Tuesday
Lee Moses- time and place
Bomb the music industry- vacation
These are all still some of my favorite albums (save for the minders one) partially because the imagery and nostalgia they invoke is crazy
yep
>>61044197

Iron & Wine is fantastic. I never see him discussed here. Needs more love on this board.
Senior year of high school
The whole thing is just really well done angst.
>>61044346
hmmm checking these guys out on spotify....cool shit man
>>61044360
Agreed. He's a fantastic artist to listen to if you want to relax.
If you haven't heard it yet, I recommend looking up the song An Angry Blade, its one of his oldest songs and is quite underrated.
High school angst fersher
>>61044267
Exactly the same. When I get into some work, I really get into it. My deep dislike with the things I'm studying and the general 24/7 anxiousness with getting a job in the field I'm finishing studying in the spring is just destroying my psyche.
Weed (and music and the little things in life that I tend to notice these days) help keep me grounded in an ontological sorta way and enjoy the "act" of living, but it doesn't change the societal pressures that I feel are constricting my humanity (sounds really pretentious and idiotic, but hey, what can you do)
>>61044430
Thanks man. I've got his discography, I'll check it out.
>>61044421
It's one guy mate. Samuel Beam. Check out his latest studio release "Ghost On Ghost". I love it so much.
>>61044728
>societal pressures that I feel are constricting my humanity
I know that feel. I'm such a fake cunt at work. It feels so wrong. It's not pretentious. Most people put up a shield or layer in front of their true personalities. I try not to, but if I was 100% myself people would hate me.
Junior year of high school.
So many great memories, it'll never be like that again. I always get nostalgic.
>>61044728
im with>>61044837
its nt pretentious. it just seems self indulgent to want more than what everyone else seems satisfied with setteling for. its not our fault we want more out of life
>>61044777
kiss each other clean is what im digin on right now. but ill check that out next
>>61045049
No problem mate.
>>61045029
Hurts though because it just feels uncomfortable. I generally only become myself in a serious relationship. Or really close friends.
>>61045083
i feel ya man. it sucks. i cant really accomplish anything cuz i shut down around ppl im nt familiar with or feel comfortable around. bartending has helped alot actually
>>61044837
To go on a little tangent,
I honestly don't even think there is a one, true self. Sure there's a sense of self, and the way you are when you're alone and in the confines of your own mind, but the fact of the matter is, we exist in multiple peoples' minds, and each of those people see us differently.
All of those images of our personality that are kinda similar to one another (and some of those that are more of an act, as you said), but also have subtle differences based on the person/group we interact with show how we're fluid, if that makes any sense.
(I feel like I've read or seen or heard this thought expressed somewhere, but I can't seem to remember)
>>61045029
Nah, I've come to realize that its not really pretentious or really self-indulgent (in a negative connotation), but when you speak to others about this, they might think that, so I just kinda use that as a buffer (see: the other guy's fakeness comment I guess).
>>61045123
I can imagine. I don't think I could handle idiotic drunks though. And I'm very extroverted.
>>61045145
That makes a lot of sense. Maybe I'm not fake. I do generally act different around different people depending on how comfortable I am or they are around me. I still speak my mind so to speak.
>>61045279
im great with drunk ppl cuz i can tell they are being real. awkwardly drunk ppl who dont know what their doing arnt easy for me but just talking to people who are drunk is something im good at. i can talk them out of or into stupid situations
>>61045338
Haha, usually more times out of stupid situations
>>61045368
yea but sometimes its fun to egg on stupid ideas you know will fail but r sitll harmless
>>61045440
Why do you type like a 40+ mum on Facebook? Sorry, its just irritating.
>>61045489
becasue im high and tired and i dont give a fuck
>>61045506
Okay. Fair point.
>>61045537
thank u for understanding lol
>>61044194

This album for Sophmore to junior year. Honestly I feel like I had a different album for every year of high school

Still enjoy it as much as I did in high school
