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
Comebacks can be pretty awesome. Sometimes they’re nostalgic, like seeing an old band come back together. Sometimes they’re just flat-out awe-inspiring, like someone recovering from a near-fatal accident. While these kind of comebacks are cool, so are the “everyday” comebacks, even as small as being sick for a few days and missing work or school. … Continue reading Day 13: Champion – Fall Out Boy
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
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
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
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
Some things are hard to shake. Do you ever say something and immediately regret it, and it kind of becomes one of those things you lay awake at 3am thinking about? I feel like that’s a shared human experience. Sometimes I’ll remember something I did years ago – like how cringeworthy I was as a preteen. Remember … Continue reading Day 5: Ghost Magnetic – David Cook
Love is fun. You have cute dates, meet each other’s families, and just have a good time. It’s easy, right? Well, no. It’s fun, but not always easy. Love is a commitment, too, no matter who you love. Not just romantic partners, but family and friends. You commit to spending time with them, showing … Continue reading Day 4: All Fired Up – Matt Corby
