i love mitski’s strawberry blond. it’s the first time i’ve seen unrequited love portrayed in a way that isn’t negative. as someone who’s been down that road many, many times, it’s really not as bitter and as sorrowful as it’s made out to be in art. unrequited love doesn’t leave you singing: “i do not love you now. you’ve denied me of love.” you sing: “i still love you, just not the way i wanted to. you still love me, just not the way i want you to. i love everybody because i love(d) you.”
