The Eternal Sunshine Deluxe album just got released, and I was completely sober knowing that my AOTY never disappoints. I love it. I now have Last-Song Syndrome (LSS), and I just can’t deny the fact that it was addictive.

While listening to Ariana Grande’s song “Twilight Zone,” I see myself in the lyrics. I felt like I was trapped in a reality that once felt magical, realizing it was all an illusion. Like Ariana, I’ve been in a relationship (or was it?) where I gave so much (I mean, I gave everything), thinking it was love, but ended up questioning if it was ever real. The song’s ethereal melody perfectly caught that very moment of my life when I woke up from a dream, only to find out it was a nightmare all along.

What’s more interesting is that the lyric “sometimes, I just can't believe you happened” from the song really aligns with my motto “sometimes, fantasies are real.” I felt like I and Ariana are one. I mean, we do believe in the same perspective. I am so happy. And it’s like the song itself acknowledges that some experiences feel too surreal to be true—whether in love, dreams, or even heartbreak, and that just exactly what we both felt. We experienced, we expressed.

It’s a perfect parallel to how we see life: there are moments that feel like fantasies, but they do happen, and they shape us. Sometimes, they’re magical, sometimes painful, but they’re real nonetheless. This lyric might hit me so hard because it reflects my own past. It reflects those moments where I questioned if what I went through was real or just a dream. Yes, I once believed in someone and thought they cared so much like I was expecting that it could be reciprocated, but in the end, I was just being used for what I could give, not for who I truly was. That feeling of being “stuck in a black-and-white scene,” not knowing what was real and what was just a lie, hits too close to home. It’s like I was living in my own Twilight Zone, blinded by love, ignoring the signs, ignoring the red flags, hoping things would turn out differently.

But like Ariana, I’m learning to let go. No regrets, just lessons. The past may feel like a haunting dream, but I refuse to stay trapped in it. The real world is waiting for me, and I’m ready to step out of the shadows and into the light. Seeing brighter days ahead of me. ⋆｡˚*ੈ ☀︎⋆˚｡⋆˚
