Darling by janis lago

original description:
"i'm releasing this today after getting two entire vials of my blood drawn at an endocrinologist's office to make sure i'm healthy and my estradiol is working. let it be known that that freaks me the fuck out, but nonetheless, i'm recovering splendidly. i did a lot of nice atlanta-area driving (can't specify which roads even though i'm increasingly autistic about them!) to get home after which was quite fun. my favorite road in this state that i've driven on is probably SR-316. this is not a travel record, though; it's a home record, the same "home recording" as the tag i keep on my personal bandcamp to signify my adherence to such a method of production. but what is home? home is an intangible state of trust which generally accompanies a place, but which is infinitely malleable as a semantic item regardless. it's the pattern of familiarity which matches the roads closest to the part of metro atlanta i've lived in my whole life as much as it is the thinkpad i've been using lately to communicate over long distances on discord and (to a lesser extent) irc. this is a home record. this is a record of love and constant persistence. this record is gay as fuck."
