Anon what the fuck?
I had to pee really bad for the last 3 songs of Exai, but I didn't wanna stop listening.
So now whenever I listen to YJY UX all I can remember is holding my piss in
>Lost in the World by Kanye and Bon Iver
>Friend started drifting away and started hanging with a new guy more
>get weird dream about my friend fucking me up the ass
>Get a sudden feeling of intimacy towards said friend
>Spend Whole summer time bein deppressed about it
>One day my friend and the other guy find me in the Car playing that shit while crying a river of tears
Shit went on for another year just found out that my friend tried to move on the other guy and the other guy refused, so they fought over it and now I'm happy that I understand why all this weird behavior started happening between us all.
TLDR don't do drugs kids it fucks with your sexual desires

Not that it mattered much anyway. I hated that guy. Paid him back, got my paint job fixed, and I left the job three months later forever without looking back.
>>66457556
I know it doesn't mean much, but I'm sorry.

my mom had this set as the alarm for me to get up and go to school. I'd usually be depressed and hungover and there'd be a screaming match every morning even just to get me up to turn it off. It's all good now but I still hate myself for putting my mother through that shit.

I'm over her now, but for a damn long time I couldn't even listen to this song without feeling overwhelming dread and despair. Ironically, I actually let her listen to it a few months later when she was feeling really bad and anxious. She said it helped.

got out and looked for a job and found an internship that let me get my degree
now back to nothing due to my city literally having no jobs in my field and applying to random shit but being ignored
>>66459971
I feel for you

>ITT: Post songs that bring back bad memories and provide context
I think most songs that talk about regret and missed chances trigger bad memories and nobody wants to hear that because its too painful
>>66458256
sorry anon, same happened to me except Lazarus. But Bowies death reminded me a lot of my grandpa's passing. :(
>don't worry baby
>she comes over to breakup with me after a week of no talking
>she says she wants to stay friends
>I say I don't think I can stop loving her
>She walks out, I tell her "thanks for trying to love me"
>I start stalking her on social media. >See she's listening to "don't worry baby" on spotify
>Then it disappears from the feed thing
>Go on Facebook, can't find her profile
>realize she's blocked me everywhere
It"s been three years since then. I still see her in public about once a month but never talk to her. Been in a relationship for 2 years with another girl but deep down I know I really love her. And every time I hear that song, I think about what could have been.
>>66467528
I hope things will be better for you soon.
>>66468948
Anon, it's alright to think about what could've been. It's natural and I know you know you and her would be happiest together. But we can't control people and as much as we try, it's impossible to make someone care or see the future you can see. It's sad but it's been years and you're with someone else now who's very happy to have you in her life. If you have doubts I think maybe after such a long time it might not be a bad idea to consider hitting up your ex, but you need to think about what's going to make you happiest and make your life feel most fulfilled.
Pic related, me trying to show u some emotional support with a smile ;^)
>in love with girl
>she says she's in love with me
>we listen to music together everyday
>she loves mick jenkins and the weeknd but also loves loads of stuff I showed her off /mu/
>go to germany for a week
>someone shows me a picture of her and her supposed new boyfriend
>dont believe it
>come back home
>text her to celebrate valentines with me
>she's with her new boyfriend instead
literally cannot listen to weeknd/pnd/mick jenkins/frank ocean without thinking about her
There She Goes by the La's was basically the song of my final year of High School and I spent most of my time hanging around with my best friend and girlfriend at the time. Within a year of graduation, both of them had died and I can't listen to it without remembering and tearing up.
>>66459848
damn. why don't some people just fucking communicate? thanks for the song, it's great.
