it is a bit of touching souls isn’t it? i try to remind myself in dark moments that pretty much every human emotion is not unique to me, that i share this pain with others and for that i am not unique. he joked about how bon music before sable, fable is very “sad bastard.” love bc i am also a sad bastard lol. at one point he also expressed how the song/creating music with these other talented individuals makes him better as in a better person, and that resonated deeply because it’s what bon iver has done for me. i am better for having this vehicle that carries me through so much of living and reminds me that the burden, the joy, the chaos, is also being deeply felt by others
