There used to be a group chat for my friend group called “Fashionable5”—Cameron, Jolie, Faith, Gianna, and I. One day, this song was sent in by Jolie and she said it reminded her of me. Or she showed it to me one night driving home in her Jeep nicknamed “The Tank”. I don’t remember for sure, maybe both happened. But I remember my other friends agreed with her—that this song reminds them of me, in a good way. I don’t know why, I guess it’s a vibe or an energy. But thinking of this song reminds me of the routine of February 2022. Barely getting up in time in the morning, going to school and messing around in class, musical practice for two hours after school, shamrock shake runs, 8am Saturday practices. Cold, sunny, winter days spent shopping and driving around in the tank. Jolie coming over on Sundays to watch last week's Euphoria episode, and then texting about the new episode as it aired real time. It’s a time period where I felt comfortable in myself and my place in the world.
