Laura is both the quintessential Modern Female and the Saddest Product of American Dating. Another hopeful in love with a man’s potential. Another woman just the same as her man: eyeing the horizon and trying to figure out if she’s supposed to, allowed to, want more. If she’s a fool to love a man who disappoints her. Trying to figure out how long you heed the cosmopolitan lecture: Don’t settle, keep looking, hold out for better. Because no one told our generation when to stop.
And we’re all exhausted of looking over each other’s shoulders to see if a better version might be approaching. Aren’t we? High Fidelity is our love letter to music as much as it is to the imperfection of love itself, to the songs and albums that carried us through the wilds of heartache and the ones that crested us back up and into the next season of infatuation and possibility. To the songs that gave us the mettle to stay or the guts to leave.
