I feel like gender lines are changing. A couple of years ago, it wasn’t nearly as OK for guys to like girly-sounding music. But all of a sudden a lot of my guys friends who would like have been really disdainful of female singers are way more accepting.

I just watched another person I care deeply about basically turn into Gollum and my heart is broken.
