Same, kinda. This year I've been leaning into recreating that sense of childhood creativity in my writing/art; for me, it's about bringing back the earnestness and enthusiasm that got dulled in my teen/adult years. I think we're all still the same creative kid inside, we're just embarrassed now about our ideas being "cringe" or "unoriginal". Or we're making stuff to appeal to an audience instead of ourselves.

Mitchell, Manos, and Pod People are probably a three-way tie for me. Some of my underrated favorites are Girls Town, The Incredible Melting Man, The Giant Spider Invasion, Teen-Age Crime Wave, and Kitten With a Whip.
Presto is amazing!!! So much of their 90s-00s discography is so slept on.
Led Zeppelin - Physical Graffiti
Tool - 10,000 Days
Rush - Test for Echo
Metallica - Metallica
Rush - Clockwork Angels
Michael Jackson - HIStory
BIGBANG - MADE

Kumi Koda - BEST 2000-2020
A Perfect Circle - Mer de Noms
I saw BigBang on the MADE tour T__T So good! Probably biased since it was my first real concert ever. Taeyang and G-Dragon's solo shows were also very good; pretty much all the kpop shows I've been to have been amazing (BigBang, Taeyang, CL, G-Dragon, Blackpink(x2), BTS(x2)). I would love to see Dreamcatcher, EXO, or Shinee!
Big Bang, 2NE1, Girls' Generation, EXO, BTS, Blackpink, XG, Shinee, f(x), Wonder Girls...
Looking for BoA's "Every Heart" song for Inuyasha, I discovered her Korean stuff too, then found out about DBSK, Lee Hyori, BigBang, and I never looked back. lol Yes I am old...
I love Rose Madder. Such an underrated King novel.
Just off the top of my head:
-The Woman in the Room -Gray Matter -I Am the Doorway -Gramma -Umney's Last Case
honorable mentions: The Ten O'Clock People, The Jaunt, The Gingerbread Girl, A Very Tight Place, Dolan's Cadillac, The End of the Whole Mess
though Night Shift really is a superb collection of stories overall.
It's been ages since I read it, but I remember really liking Cell and also feeling underwhelmed by the ending. I had to read over the last few pages to remember how it ended. Yeah, still not a huge fan of the cliffhanger. Although King's sort of notorious for his lackluster/disappointing endings. I think it can be hard to tie up such a long book in a satisfactory way, and I can see the appeal of an ambiguous cliffhanger ending, but ehh... I'm not really sure it worked here. I should definitely reread it though because I did enjoy most of the book, and I wonder if my thoughts on the ending would change after a second read.
(though if you thought the book ending was bad, wait until you see the movie)

I've gotten way more sensitive to clothing textures as I get older, and I don't remember having too much texture sensitivity as a kid (except for hating itchy tags). I'm also way too aware now of my clothes when I sleep, so sleeping in any kind of pajama bottoms or socks is impossible for me. That never used to be A Thing for me until a few years ago. It doesn't really impact my life very much though.
