jesse woods

The past couple of days I've only had ears for Jesse Woods. What a beautiful musician. Each and every one of his songs are filled with gorgeous lyrics and melodies that make me feel nothing. Nothing might have a negative connotation, but that's not what I mean. I feel nothing. I feel free. Everything feels simple. Problems are nonexistent. I close my eyes and I am dancing, smiling, breathing. There's something magical about music that makes you feel nothing.

This song! It empowers me. Convinces me that I can be on my own. It also finally makes sense to me. I'm very inconsistent with my feelings and I change my mind daily, so I may feel different tomorrow, but currently this song makes sense. I feel like I'm finally mature enough to be over something from my past, I just don't care about this person anymore. I no longer wonder about them constantly, I no longer have piercing pains in my stomach from my memories of them. I feel like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders and I feel content with where I am and who I am. It's amazing how music has this power.

The Helio Sequence - Lately

brooklyn

A while back I went to Brooklyn with one of my good friends from home. She called me that morning and asked if I wanted to go and I had nothing better to do... so why the hell not? We just ran around the city and had a pretty awesome time.

This beautiful song has been stuck in my head all day. It's so relatable to my life right now. Although I'm often surrounded by wonderful friends, I spend a lot of time alone, but I feel less alone in those moments. Generally I value being alone; it's something I depend on. I love driving alone listening to my favorite songs, free of judgement by others. I love running outside breathing in the fresh air alone. I love just sitting by myself; giving me time to think about anything and everything. This song reminds me of the beauty (and insecurity) of this alone time I treasure so deeply.
