I think one of the nicest things about growing older is realizing which things consistently bring you peace no matter how life changes around you.
And honestly?
Music became one of those things for me a long time ago already.
There are still nights where I replay familiar covers while working quietly or preparing to sleep.

And honestly?
I like that kind of comfort.

So having familiar things that consistently make life feel softer somehow matters more to me now.
Maybe that’s why fandom still stayed with me through different seasons of adulthood.
Not loudly.
Just gently.
