I want to take this to the clients at the ad agency, I work for, and be like this is what you are trying to market too. Not self-centered, not savior-complexes or hipsters but to the first wave of a new species of human. The way the world use to work is gone. I’m not say this is never happened before (with the invention of fire, cars, microwave dinners) or that it is a new notion (the rise

young troubadour’s secret weapon is “First Day of My Life”. This song has played the “our song” role to so many past, doomed relationships now, it has jumped into the lexicon of alpha bros’ five songs they know on guitar that’ll get them laid. Conor Oberst would weep over the fate of his song, but wiping his tears with all the hundred dollar bills he’s made from it give him papercuts. No One’s Gonna Love You by Band of Horses - For those looking for that “cute, slow folk song about love” to fill

Familiar Shores The waves were tauntingly calm that day, after the hurricane of fast-paced incidents that uprooted John’s life from the very beginning. He didn’t think he would have changed it, even if he had a choice.

The fresh grass tickled his sticky body as he crushed the living daylights out of them. Beneath the sun’s gaze, he laid still while absorbing the beauty of the outside world. It was perfect. “Run,” an elderly man shouted at his students, interrupting his photosynthesis moment. “Off the ground, Junho.” Junho’s eyes unlocked, his vision flooded with the cotton clouds and baby blue sky.

It's been over two weeks and Evan is still not sure what he's gotten himself into and the only one to blame is himself and his wired therapy letters. So now where is he? Oh yeah, pretending to be Connor Murphy's best friend because his parents thought he wrote a suicide note to Evan. And of course, he just went with it. Told the Murphy's all about his great friendship with their son who was surely going to kill him once he woke up. Evan would love it if the ground could just open up and swallow him

The story of “Waving Through A Window” is a song in the musical Dear Evan Hansen with music and lyrics by Benji Pasek and Justin Paul. The musical outlines the main character Evan Hansen, a high schooler with social anxiety disorder. His feelings of rejection seen throughout the performance and soundtrack extend specifically to his deadbeat father whom we never meet, his single mother Heidi, who spends all her time either at her nursing job or studying to become a paralegal, and his unrequited affection
