Oh man. All the damn feelings are swirling in my heart and soul. To see the lyrics of my favorite songs in the handwriting of one of my favorite artists was so mind-blowing. Getting insight into Cobain’s thoughts and life was beyond interesting and strangely relatable to the core. It is often so hard to see artists as living, breathing, and flawed human beings. But Cobain, man, Cobain is the most human of them all in my biased opinion. I knew I’d love him even more than I did after reading his journals. I find comradery in someone who doesn’t know me and for obvious reasons will never know me and that’s something beyond powerful. Long live punk rock, freedom of speech, and Nirvana’s legacy.

“Those we love never truly leave us, Harry. There are things that death cannot touch.” 

“In every shining moment of happiness is that drop of poison: the knowledge that pain will come again. Be honest to those you love, show your pain. To suffer is as human as to breathe.”
