When it’s June and you’re 23, that means it’s wedding season. Everyone is getting married. The amount of social media posts can get a bit ridiculous, but you have to admit it’s a little fun too. It’s exciting to see two people in love. There is that dangerous part of love, too, called the honeymoon … Continue reading Day 25: Girl Harbor – Manchester Orchestra
Let’s talk about Facebook. And how easy it is to stalk people. I mean “stalk” in the best way, not like, following them around all creepy, but…following them around online…less creepily. Okay, I guess it’s still a little creepy. But still. Facebook has made it easy to catch up with people you’ve lost touch with … Continue reading Day 24: Where Are You Now – Mumford & Sons
A sad fact of life is that people leave. They leave temporarily or permanently from our lives. It’s sad when a best friend moves across the country, when a wife leaves her husband, or when a brother or son dies an untimely death. To “leave” has a lot of meanings but typically a negative emotion. … Continue reading Day 22: Headlights – The Classic Crime
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.

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
We talked aboutĀ the North StarĀ 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
