MUSIC/MOVIES/TV


I absolutely ADORE Olivia Rodrigo's new album, Sour, which has beaten 84932048234 records!
"Love Race" by Machine Gun Kelly and Kellin Quinn is superb.

I just watched the movie, Maurice, which I highly recommend, even though I found it quite sad.
In terms of TV shows, I'm mostly rewatching my favorite shows, like Elite, Reign, and Shameless. I did start Good Girls and How to Get Away with Murder, both of which I like a lot so far.


Goodbye May!
Hello June!
