woohoo first max post!!!!!!!

i love lyrics that just stick with you through a lot!! definitely one of my favorites of all time is from bite my tongue by you me at six! "you keep me on the edge of my seat // i bite my tongue so you don't hear me // i wanna hate every part of you in me // i can't hate the ones who made me" i love the ambivalence and tension between the narrator and the person he's talking about, and knowing he will carry the other person's influence in him throughout life, feeling both indebted to and resentful of their effect on his life.

im so excited to hear your thoughts about everything and anything !!

That is such a powerful lyric, Pidge — and I feel like folks can definitely relate to having been shaped by people we wish we weren’t shaped by, but not being able to undo it, and it being part of who we are now. I appreciate you joining in on the conversation!
