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
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
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
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
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
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
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
