Life poses some interesting questions. It’s easy to go about your life ignoring them and simply living, but sometimes they jump out and grab you and don’t let go. For me, that happens late at night when I can’t sleep. Thoughts start racing around in my head – what is life? Is it a dream? … Continue reading Day 20: All is As All Should Be – The Dear Hunter
Full disclaimer: I missed a day yesterday. Life just got too busy and writing a post just got away from me. So to the like, seven people who read this consistently, so sorry. Let’s pick up where we left of, shall we? Let’s pick up on depression. Depression is weird. Depression is alienating. It’s been … Continue reading Day 19: Satellite Call – Sara Bareilles
I promise Fall Out Boy is not a sponsor of this series. But hey, they’ve come out with some good stuff recently, and a lot of it has been pumping through my earbuds in the last year or so. So I really don’t feel too bad about it. To me, they are able to encapsulate … Continue reading Day 18: The Last of the Real Ones – Fall Out Boy
We talked about the North Star on here not long ago. In poetry and art, it often represents what we are guided or pulled by. I mean, it makes sense. Sailors have used it for ages as a natural compass. Your “North Star” might be different, depending on who you are. We’re all driven by different things. … Continue reading Day 17: Polaris – Jimmy Eat World
Some people have amazing stories. The people who rise above the worst of circumstances are the ones we remember. Take, for example, Corrie Ten Boom. She was a Dutch woman who, with the aid of her family, helped many Jews escape the Nazis during the Holocaust. Obviously, that wasn’t an easy task, especially since she … Continue reading Day 16: The Brightest Stars – Rogue Valley
Humanity needs a purpose. It’s what philosophers have been debating for centuries – why are we here? What is the role of Man? Is it to worship, to create, to destroy? Is it all of those things? Maybe we’re just a happy accident, so the best we can do is enjoy ourselves until the world … Continue reading Day 15: No Plan – Hozier
Performing is fun, but it’s not for everyone. Some would rather watch a theatre production than be involved, and that’s totally fine. But if you’ve ever performed before, you know it’s pretty addicting. The first time I was “onstage” was in third grade. I had written a rap about Moses (I went to a Christian … Continue reading Day 14: Roaring 20s – Panic! At the Disco
Growing up is hard. When I left for college (even though it was a short drive from my home) I felt displaced. Not just geographically displaced, but emotionally, intellectually. I was eighteen and starting my new future. A GPS would’ve been handy. But unfortunately, we don’t get that in life. But it does help to … Continue reading Day 12: Finding North, The Civil Wars
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
