Nature isn’t good or kind. People have darkness in them.
i love laura marling (both her music and her person) to the point that i want to be her because she seems so wise, clever and a little intimidating. i dont think i have ever liked an article so much (or maybe i have a few but rarely) after reading the DIY article of her experiencing loneliness and quarter life crisis. like what? LAURA MARLING? experiencing those? someone who thinks solitude is bliss and have already achieved so much at such a young age didn't know what to do with her life? how is this real?
it turned out that she grew tired of making music and felt that she wasn't good at what she was doing anymore which is also the least expected since she is a lyrical mistress with fucking good guitar skills who performs effortlessly well everytime. And for the past years, it was as if she was on a creative high, throwing album after album at us even we haven't got the chance to properly listen to one. okay actually maybe this could be one of the reasons why.
i just feel that when people whom you think have really got their lives together also went through stuff that you can somehow relate to just make it so, so comforting and it's also inspiring to know how they got out of it. plus, it is a great reminder that everyone is the same.
i can't wait to listen to her new album! i really look up to her, even much more than before and can this woman stop being so impressive every single time? im gonna find a way to watch her live in april/may.
