There's something about being 30 and clamering onto youth. I feel in a very comfortable place where I can still enjoy all the things I have been enjoying up til now, with no real plans of properly growing up anytime soon, but there is just that odd feeling when I press to open my TikTok app and watch creators just over a third my age being the new geniuses of editing and content and remembering complex choreography.

They say you know you’ve made it when you can be referred to by one name: Lebron, Serena, MJ, etc. Since about 2010, Drake has joined the conversation (also can be referred to as “Greatest Ever”).

I am sure not many of you have seen the most interesting series in Netflix titled Vincenzo or for that matter the most engrossing and sensitive series titled as Crash Landing On You, or Strong Girl Boong Soon or the very engrossing with a slightly off beat story, Hotel Del Luna.

It's been a long time since I first heard Marina's music. Back then, she was known as Marina and the Diamonds and was currently in the midst of her Electra Heart era. I was 13 years old and in the midst of my own inner turmoil. "Teen Idle" found me at a time when I was at my most scared and alone- and I think it saved my life. I immediately listened to her entire discography. I was obsessed. As I struggled with mental illness, the razor-sharp lyricism of The Family Jewels and the upbeat nihilism of Electra Heart became my solace. But that was a long time ago.
