Hi idk if anyone is here anymore just wanted to check in just bc
I left this app at such a strange/happier (in contrast) time in my life in early 2019; I had just attended vip at Coachella, moved into my first apartment and would begin a relationship that only lasted a year and half but was devastating (to lose) and still feels the same.
I think I changed a bit as a person throughout all of it a few ways. I feel like it’s lame and wannabe elitist to say but I personally have felt a negative shift in shows I’ve attended in the past years and I think that’s a big reason why my music preference largely pivoted away from tssf, pop punk; all the MySpace era bands that I still cared a lot about. Of course maybe I’m just older or too mentally unwell or my attitude is too shitty to enjoy it as much, but it’s disenchantment nonetheless. Kellen’s departure definitely solidified that step back for me. Im glad it happened in a dignified way but of course the ambiguity and being left to make speculations is a little sad too.
I just just saw Citizen at the 10 years of Youth Boston show and will always revisit the songs and albums of that genre that anchored me throughout such a (long) tumultuous time in my life. I know this is probably the dumbest open letter ever but this blog meant a lot to me too and it even led to meet some amazing people.
If tssf do produce new music I will unlikely be keen to hear it but appreciate the unity the music and shows afforded me.
Thanks for the mems(-:
