i’ve really come around to the idea that nothing's permanent. i don’t like it, but i think i’m finally starting to accept it. (thanks covid!)
i like the idea that people find each other in this mess and help each other survive. in that way, even the relationships that don’t last forever kinda do.
it’s compound interest. that’s what life is. all our loves and losses influencing who we are, changing our course, recalibrating us. nothing’s wasted.
this song is super springsteen to me. two people finding each other in a place they don’t feel a part of. harbors in the tempest.
springsteen had mary. i had JV.

LYRICS
i met you at a party
you were lookin for your car keys
rich kids and bob marley
yeah, they’re never any fun
so we drove out to the ocean
just to finally feel some motion
the waves sounded like explosions
and we counted every one
and you kissed like the queen of california
and it felt like i hadn’t been born
i really miss you, west coast JV
i know you had to get yourself free
i know it gets hard just to breathe sometimes
i’m never gonna forget your name
i’ll never see the world quite the same
i’ll always keep a part of your dreams with mine
with mine
you and me, we’re different pages
torn out of the same book
my parents they just gave up
and yours wore each other down
we spent so long believin’
we were less than what we needed
20 years of screaming
and we barely made a sound
but you kissed like the queen of california
and it felt like i hadn’t been born
i really miss you, west coast JV
i know you had to get yourself free
i know it gets hard just to breathe sometimes
i’m never gonna forget your name
i’ll never see the world quite the same
i’ll always keep a part of your dreams with mine
with mine
and we hated the way everybody talked
about their father’s money and their summer jobs
princes and princesses trying to get lost
in german cars that their parents bought
in the fade and the glow of the summer light
you asked me if i ever felt the pressure to get everything right
to swim the mess, to stay the course
to be someone that they adore
i really miss you west coast JV
i know you wore your heart on your sleeve
and i know it gets hard just to breathe sometimes
i’m always gonna call out your name
i’ll never see the world quite the same
i’ll always keep a part of your dreams with mine
with mine
