If you feel that the weather is affecting your day-to-day life for the worse, absolutely. You are not obligated to stay for family or for a job. Prioritise your health, you can always visit relatives.

When you’re angry and on the verge of tears; sounds basic, maybe, but it feels so overwhelming when you’re both shaking with anger and at the same time trying to hold in your sadness. Makes you want to both yell at something and curl into a ball and disappear. It’s a double negative, which makes it more powerful. I’m not an angry or short-tempered person, so whenever this happens to me I feel so lost and confused with what to do.

Initially I used Mlem, but I found the scrolling to be not smooth, and I didn’t really like the design. Then I had Avelon for a while, which I would’ve still kept if it wasn’t for the fact you couldn’t off-load it and it took up a lot of data on my phone (2-3GB). Now I use Voyager and I really like it, I think I’ll stick with it for a while. You can customise it a bit, it looks like Apollo, it’s smooth, I’m able to off-load it. It’s great!

What music platforms would you suggest as an alternative? Apple Music can’t be that much better, can it?

Your comment actually inspired me to try the free trial for Tidal and I really like it. In the future I might switch over to it from Spotify, at least they seem to pay artists better.

If you go to your iPhone settings > General > Storage you have the option to either delete an app or offload it (which clears up space on your phone from the app’s cache). Avelon didn’t have this option and it took up a lot of space for me. Hence why I switched.

It sounds ridiculous but I promise I’m being serious. I’m looking for instrumental songs that are from the middle ages / the renaissance, with fun and fast-paced beats that just makes you wanna dance to it. Think of the POTC soundtrack but medieval. An example is the song “Im Maien” by Piffaro. I’m writing a story at the moment that takes place during this time and I could really use some upbeat, party bangers as inspiration lmao.

They’re not really considered underground since they have 1 million monthly listeners, but I still don’t see a lot of people talking about the band Foreign Air. They are known for their hit “Free Animal”, but they have so many good songs. I recommend “Your Touch”, “Hello Sunshine Pt 2”, “Wake Me Up”, “Moving On,” and “Monsters”. Unsure of how to describe their genre, it certainly isn’t rock nor bubbly pop…

Still don’t know the difference.

Thank you for the explanation!
