I should not have listened to "Miss You More" for the first time just now. Been thinking about a toxic ex.. and this song got me in the feels :'(

I think the thought of wondering what you could have been with someone is toxic in and of itself and I try to avoid it.. but it's natural to go there sometimes. But living in the moment is so important. Because it's not about what you could have been.. it's what you were/are. And if that's not right here and now.. or wasn't then.. it never would have been/ will be. (usually imo)

Thank you for coming to my Ted talk.

lmao sorry for all the damn edits I kept fucking shit up yay sleep deprivation xD

this. Absolutely.

Listen to "Pendulum" to cheer yourself up!

[cosmic_starz]

lol, just listened to "Not Like The Movies" and that helped.. but I'll check out "Pendulum" too!

This was a good album that got ignored.

Not a fan of this album, but I think this era would have been more successful had she not dyed her blonde and stayed brunette.

Or maybe the Republican soccer moms just didn’t buy her album anymore because she was one of Hillary’s biggest supporters?

I was ~shookt~ when Witness flopped tho? And Katy’s career never recovered after that. Remember how everyone in ONTD hailed her as the next queen of pop back in 2013 when she beat Gaga on the charts? Life moves in mysterious ways.

Yeah I actually think the haircut + dye job (which is her natural lol) tanked her. But I also Katy took too long with showing growth~ on her albums. Like we all use to joke about Rihanna and her being singles queens but Rihanna started showing up from Unapologetic to Anti and no one says it anymore.

I think Katy was on her way but got too comfortable or took too long.

the thing is tho I think she DID grow but just picked horrible singles. "Prism" has some pretty good tracks that sound like adult contemporary standards... "It Takes Two" has been my bop lately as I reflect on a toxic friendship but like... honestly RCA is a shitty label and pushed her to record and release shit like "This Is How We Do" (which I still love despite myself lmao).

[genbu_no_miko24]

Yeah I agree she did show growth on the non-single albums but all the singles were almost same formula.

I have never liked RCA because I always feel they messed up Christina Aguilera's career.

I can't believe they didn't release walking on air!! THAT WOULD'VE BEEN A CERTIFIED DANCE BOP!
