Gosh, reading this gave me the exact feeling of nostalgia that listening to Ben Howard does. I saw him live a few years ago and there was such a strong tide that evening, taking me back to beaches and bedrooms and firesides where I'd listened to him years before. So glad I stumbled upon your work today! Looking forward to reading more.

His music feels like nostalgia in auditory form. I don't know how he does it, it's amazing. So cool that you got to see him live too! I probably would have cried through the entire thing haha. Thank you so much for reading!

1. Turn off the music.

2. Go back, if only to visit.

Suggestions.

It is a pain I never knew could exist… we don’t until we’re older and that time is gone. Never to be recreated. Our past selves live inside of us but we can’t be them again and that, at least for me right now, is an unreconcilable paradox. Thank you Angie, I love you so much and I don’t know what I would do without you in my life.

Beautifully said, and it is bittersweet. I’m grateful to be where I am now but sad to have moved on from that chapter too. I love you so much and can’t wait to see you soon!
