Everyone passes on
And believes in what they want to
If we heal, we can feel something
That we didn't want to
There's a sign for the time
You can read it if you want to
Or everyone will become numb
@tracy I'm old enough to remember the mixTAPE, and how then later being able to rip a CD and burn a mixCD was a revelation. But alas, "add to playlist" + "share playlist" just doesn't hit the same.
I often mention music I listen to, often in the morning, to try to summon some peace. I haven't mentioned my friend Tom Conlon yet. He's right at the top of list. Lucky enough to have spent some nights in the company of his presence and live music.

...well, I think about it a lot less than this. I don't do them nearly as often as I used to, due to the fact my primary motivation in the past were new relationships, and streaming makes them less interesting. However, they are typically inspired by an event in a friend's life, or something they said. A friend moved to CA last year so of course that inspired a playlist of songs about CA. I focus on deep cuts, for example "California Girl" by Candy Butchers.

I was just thinking about the fact that post-apocalyptic shows and movies have become really popular lately.

In the last two months, I've had to urgently box breath 6 times, 3 for pain related to my broken hip, and 3 times for work-related anxiety attacks
