media collection: on growing up
also titled: nostalgia is a closed souvenir shop i visit when i get lonely
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.
As a little preface to my postcard that I’m going to post on Saturday for my birthday, here is a media collection on growing up!
ONE.
—Everything I Know About Love, Dolly Alderton
TWO.
—Nothing New, Taylor Swift & Phoebe Bridgers
THREE.
—White Nights, Fyodor Dostoyevsky
FOUR.
—Morning Sun, Edward Hopper
FIVE.
