Today was my birthday. Yee haw. Birthdays are fun because you can celebrate what you’ve accomplished in the last year, and look forward to a new one. Birthdays change as you get older. Instead of cutesy parties and lots of gifts, it’s a bit more sentimental, maybe even more personal, and certainly more reflective. My … Continue reading Day 11: Out of Exile – Strahan
This year, the Midwest had a doozy of a winter. Throughout October and November, we were lulled to a false sense of security through mild temperatures and a lot of rain, with the occasional quick snow. It seemed to be all over by December, and even into early January. But February began the winter of … Continue reading Day 10: Lake Effect Kid – Fall Out Boy
Ladies, I’m talking to you. Have you ever found yourself being jealous of another woman because she seems to just be so completely herself? Yeah, me too. Admirable women are the “what you see is what you get” type – she makes no bones about who she is, and it’s kind of awesome. Whether I … Continue reading Day 9: Autodomesticated Animal – Birdtalker
Most friendships don’t last forever. It’s cool when they do, but oftentimes they’re not sustainable. Certain friends get us through certain periods of life, and then we move on. And there’s nothing inherently wrong with that. Losing touch isn’t a sin, and neither is outgrowing a relationship. Obviously it can be painful, but it’s better … Continue reading Day 8: Bad Blood – Bastille
When was the last time you felt out of control? And I don’t mean “out of control” like “wild and crazy and unhinged.” But when was the last time you came to the realization that a lot of things in your life are outside of your agency? It’s a terrifying feeling that can leave you … Continue reading Day 7: Hopeless Opus – Imagine Dragons
Someday, I want to start a Civil Wars cover band. Their sound made me fall in love with folk and bluegrass. I particularly love their hit “Barton Hollow,” from their album of the same name – if you love a good stomp and holler, that’s the ticket. Their star did start to wane, however, with … Continue reading Day 6: The Martyr – John Paul White
Some things are hard to shake. Do you ever say something and immediately regret it, and it kind of becomes one of those things you lay awake at 3am thinking about? I feel like that’s a shared human experience. Sometimes I’ll remember something I did years ago – like how cringeworthy I was as a preteen. Remember … Continue reading Day 5: Ghost Magnetic – David Cook
Love is fun. You have cute dates, meet each other’s families, and just have a good time. It’s easy, right? Well, no. It’s fun, but not always easy. Love is a commitment, too, no matter who you love. Not just romantic partners, but family and friends. You commit to spending time with them, showing … Continue reading Day 4: All Fired Up – Matt Corby
Ah, breakup songs. They’re an integral part of our societal fabric. It’s cathartic to hear a heartbreaking song when we’re going through heartbreak. Just picture it. Picture your high school boyfriend just dumped you. What do you do? Crank up the tunes, that’s what. I remember the first time my heart was broken. I was … Continue reading Day 3: Art of War – Anberlin
There are times when life feels heavy, whether we can help it or not. It could be because all of the news headlines seem dour and we seem to be going straight to hell in a handbasket. Or it could be because of our own circumstances – lost job, lack of money, high stress, all … Continue reading Day 2: King of the Clouds – Panic! At the Disco
