happy bday to me! • sharing these pics to celebrate my birthday for three reasons: 1. they’re shots of my performance of “Up the Mountain” by @reginaspektor from her new album HOME, BEFORE AND AFTER (available wherever music is sold). Regina helps me understand my heart and the world better every year 2. this first pic is the prettiest i’ve ever felt :) i’m barely wearing any makeup and i look so much like my mom. it makes me feel real thank you @alexwebsterphoto for capturing these moments with such beauty, fire, and life. i rarely feel comfortable looking at photos of myself, but you always make me feel electric and irresistible ⚡️ 3. i’m weak at the knees for some good back lighting • being alive has been more painful for me in the past year, but today i am feeling a vigor to keep at it. i hope to continue to become more rooted in life in this next trip around the sun. to another year of thawing, stretching, building, sparking, and igniting <3 • • • ID: five photos of June performing in a tan tank top and ankle-length skirt, with short, messy, ginger hair. In some shots her face is lit by the warm glow of a cage lightbulb, positioned on a mic stand as if she’s singing into. In other shots she dances while bright light shines behind her, outlining her silhouette
