media collection: on best friends
also titled: we were girls together
I have this folder in my notes app called “hyperspecific media collections”, where I find a specific mood or topic I love and compile a media collection. They consist of book quotes, song lyrics, paintings, and scenes from movies or television shows. I love the idea that all forms of art and creativity are intricately connected, and seeing these parallels and similarities allows me to truly appreciate art.
This usually starts with me finding one specific quote that I really love, and then going through all the music, literature, and art I know in my mind and trying to find something that evokes a similar feeling in me.
This is one of my favorite collections!
