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 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
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
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
