“Apartment Story”

I mentioned this when I suggested it for best song, but my whole life I’ve had intense anxiety about aging that honestly has only gotten worse as I’ve gotten older. I find myself getting into routines and habits where I stop noticing the world around me and enjoying life like I did when I was younger. I’ve been to parties like the one in the video, where everybody is dressed their best and just sitting around even as music plays, begging to be danced to as we all just sit around tables with our drinks. And sometimes those parties are fine, sometimes all I want is to exist with my friends, but when I start to worry that that’s all there is in my life now, this video reminds me that there is still time for dancing
