      I think a lot of songs are written with a very naive and narrow minded idea. It isn’t until weeks after the songs finished that a lot of artists realise what they were really trying to say. John Mayer and the Weeknd talked about this in some interviews.

    I felt the 'no Wi-Fi connection on the wrong day,' so strong. Weird, how the internet has a huge contribution to a relationship.
    In my case, I've been in bouts of having and disappearing from the internet. I feel like we started to drift off and bounced around multiple angles just trying to keep in touch with each other and then brought about the reoccurring stress to situation at my (offline) world end, it doesn't help at all. We do is to be forgiving (of the situation,) eventually we'll get by alright when we do have the time to find each other. It's weird to get by, talking about a day we missed, talking about what we find, asking about thoughts, a connection, made through an imperfect internet connection, it's impossible, it is made possible
