i really think silence between songs is my favorite album ever, and Ryder is so my favorite song. it’s so close to my heart because it represents the relationship between my brother and me, growing up in all that chaos and in such a toxic home. when she says, “you were still in that house / i shouldn’t have left you behind / and i fall to pieces / sometimes all that you need is a shoulder to cry / and i’m lucky that you’re mine,” i relate to it so deeply. i left home before my brother did, and that feeling of guilt, leaving and knowing he would have to face all of that alone now has haunted me. i get really, really emotional every time i listen to it and i truly feel this sensation in my chest because every lyric genuinely reflects what my brother and i went through.

thank you so much madison for that♡

i love this picture so much, i find her so gentle and touching🤍
i was born in 2004, and i feel like i grew up with britney, but i really wish i could’ve been a teenager in the late 90s and early 2000s to be there from the very beginning. i’m such a huge fan of her and i have so much affection and respect for her!

maybe one day if she sees this post, i’d want her to know that she is truly, truly loved for who she is. i feel so much tenderness toward her, i really admire her as a person🩷

this is the first time i’m listening to this album all the way through. i was born in 2004 so i wasn’t even born when it came out, but ofc i know JT and i’ve always liked his well-known songs! but don’t ask me why i had never listened to a justin album before, idk😭😭

anyway!! i’m completely obsessed, i LOVE this album i wish i had been a teenager during that era 😩😩
