This month’s theme song is by Skinny Girl Diet, who hail from London.

This song is called “Homesick,” and was recorded at a live show in Brighton, England. Please enjoy!
Hello, you. June’s theme will be LONGING. Unlike more-acute forms of desire like desperation or need, longing is a sweet ache—more pining for something than dying for it. It’s nostalgia, homesickness, boredom, a persistent feeling of lack, dreaming of escape/the future. It’s summer: summer homes & cottages, stuffy summer bedrooms, sun-bleached memories of summers past. The shadow of September that hangs over June. It’s secret hangouts, crushes, unrequited love. Send what you’ve got here, and thanks. ♥

Log in to replyI know these girls(kinda)Ursula and Delilah went to my drama club, sadly they no longer go. But seeing them in this picture weirds me out mayjorly
Log in to replyDelilah and Ursula are a cousins of a family friend, and a few years ago I went on holiday to Italy with them, (our parents were friends ~~back in the day~~), but we lost touch, I had no idea this is what they’re up to! Such a good song, and weird that I knew them, and saw them on here!!

Everytime I check Rookie and see the “Home” banner and whatever background picture there is, I think of Home by Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros <3 For me, that's this month's theme song because I'm finally home for Christmas after a long semester away at school! But this one is good too haha.
