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)
You knew this was coming. Since I reviewed my music of the year last year, why not keep the tradition going? If there’s anything the end of the year (and this time around, decade) has taught me, it’s that people like to look back. Sometimes it’s for nostalgic purposes, other times it’s simply to look … Continue reading Music: A Year in Review
Everyone agrees that music holds strong emotional ties in our minds. We associate songs with moments, for better or worse. For example: You’re going about your day, adulty like you are, and suddenly, a song from the mid-2000s comes on the radio or Pandora or Spotify or whatever. Almost instantly, you’re transported back to being … Continue reading Music That Defined My Decade
If you know me even a little, you know that I’ve been weirdly into the Enneagram lately. Call it a phase, or call it a ~spiritual awakening~, but it’s a really fascinating look into what people really want and how they go about getting it. Instead of focusing on what makes you special (ahem, Meyers … Continue reading Songs for Every Enneagram Type
Wow. We made it. I can’t believe I actually finished another one of these monsters. Let me tell ya, it wasn’t easy. I felt like quitting a few times, after I started to get busy and life stuff came up. But the support I got from the neat people in my life urged me onward. … Continue reading Day 30: Death’s Song – City & Color
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
If your grew up in church, you know that hymns are a thing. Like a big thing. If you’re a tried and true hymn worshipper, you’ll know the ins-and-outs of what makes a hymn a hymn. There’s a reason it’s not just called a “song.” It’s got characteristics. Here are a few of them. Hymns … Continue reading Day 26: Hymn for Her – Anchor & Braille
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
