Day 20: The Kids Aren’t Alright – Fall Out Boy We all have a person who helps us through things. Maybe it’s your mom or dad, your brother or sister, your boyfriend or girlfriend. Things are okay when they’re around, even when things aren’t all that okay. You’ve heard it said before – it’s okay … Continue reading Day 20 & 21: The Kids Aren’t Alright – Fall Out Boy; Welcome Home, Son – Radical Face
Day 18: Cocoon – The Decemberists I like me a good lullaby. I have a whole playlist on Spotify dedicated to “sleepytime” music – music that I know will help me relax and fall asleep. Typically something with a slow, rocking melody will get me there pretty fast. Songs like “Cocoon,” that lull you into … Continue reading Day 18 & 19: Cocoon – The Decemberists; Savannah – Relient K
Day 17: Revival – Jamestown Revival Like I’ve said before, I love some good stomp-n-holler folk music. Barn-raising isn’t really a thing anymore, but if it was, I would be there. If you took history classes in high school (which I’m sure you did,) you probably heard about revivals happening in the 1800s: people suddenly being reinvigorated, … Continue reading Day 16 & 17: Revival – Jamestown Revival; Autopilot – Kodaline
Day 14: It Wasn’t Easy to Be Happy for You – The Lumineers After you have a falling out with someone, a competition starts – who can be more successful and “move on” in a shorter amount of time? It’s all a sham, of course – it always takes time to pick up the pieces … Continue reading Day 14 & 15: It Wasn’t Easy to Be Happy for You – The Lumineers; Lost – Kris Allen
Let me take you back to summer 2017. That was a wild time for me and what I consider a turning point in my life. Or maybe it was just my equivalent of Britney shaving her head. It was right before my senior year of college. I was saving up for an apartment, working one … Continue reading Day 12 & 13: Every Time I’m Ready to Hug – Ra Ra Riot; Turning Out – AJR
As a rule, I don’t love country music. You know the kind I’m talking about – the really twangy kind. That’s some people’s cup of tea, and that’s great. Good for them. It is good music to kick back to – I just like to kick back to different music. I definitely like breezy music, … Continue reading Day 10 & 11: Sucker’s Prayer – The Decemberists; Kin – Penny & Sparrow
We’ve made it really easy to not feel things. It’s become increasingly easier for us to numb out when things get rough, mostly because we have everything at our fingertips to distract us – Netflix, social media, gaming. Believe me, I love me some numbing out. I don’t like to feel big feelings – who … Continue reading Day 8 & 9: The Gold – Manchester Orchestra; Bad Self Portraits – Lake Street Dive
Do you ever have a memory so strong it causes you to stop in your tracks? For me, it’s usually associated with a smell–which adds up because smell is connected to the part of our brains associated with memory. For me, there’s a really specific smell that brings me straight back to elementary school: the … Continue reading Day 6 & 7: Paris or Amsterdam – Basia Bulat; Suicide Saturday – Hippo Campus
I’m not an adventurous person by far. I am very much a Bilbo Baggins-type person–I’d rather be home if I can help it. But sometimes going out on a limb can be fun and invigorating. Like the time I climbed a waterfall in Colorado. I made it sound way more exciting than it actually was. … Continue reading Day 5: Dangerous Diamonds – Rogue Valley
So guess what? I forgot to write yesterday. My new weird routine has been messing me up. I can’t promise it won’t happen again. In the meantime, you get a twofer today. Who doesn’t love running away from their problems? I know I do! I am the queen of conflict avoidance. It’s weird that after … Continue reading Day 3 & 4: I’ll Sleep When I’m Dead – The Wedding; Afire Love – Ed Sheeran
