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
If you’re honest with yourself, you’d say you’ve looked back at least once in your life and wondered what might have been. It’s a natural thing to do. Since life is made up of choices, we’re always going to wonder what would’ve happened if we had taken a different route. And I’m talking choices here, … Continue reading Day 2: Bride & Groom – The Airborne Toxic Event
When the going gets tough, the tough get going. That’s what they say, anyway. These “tough times” are strange. They feel tough, but at the same time, they don’t. For me, it’s been boring. I know that’s not the case for everyone, but for some it’s a lot of hurry-up-and-wait. There’s been a lot of … Continue reading 30 Days, 30 Songs (it’s Back…Again)
I like learning about geneaology. It’s fun to look back at the past and see where parts of you have come from, whether biological or adopted. Some things are inherited, like I get my blue eyes from my dad, and other things are learned, like how I sometimes sound like my mom when I get … Continue reading Day 29: Roots – Imagine Dragons
It can be hard to know when you’ve “made it” in life. It kind of seems like there’s a series of “made its.” Graduations, marriages, promotions. You might feel for a second that you’re finally there, and life is good. Sometimes though, the fun part is in the journey. Who cares if you make it, … Continue reading Day 28: When I Get There – Ben Rector
Saying goodbye is hard. One of my first major goodbyes I ever had to say was to my best friend in third grade. She told me toward the end of the school year that she was going to move away. I was heartbroken, because she was the person I was closest to, and I felt … Continue reading Day 27: Au Revoir – OneRepublic
