This cover of stone by deadwood floats is an audio hug to me. I've returned to this video at some of my sweetest and lowest times of my life since I found it back in high school. I love when songs follow you throughout your life like the moon follows you home. I love that music is made just because you want to make it and I'm grateful numbers donāt dictate all impact. This song/rendition is truly a gem and I still feel lucky I found it.

I don't know when I first heard this song, sometime in the last 3 or 4 years or so. Iām pretty sure the spotify algorithm fed it to me (ik spotify bad, but they have luckily programmed my algorithm almost perfectly..)š«£ I instantly fell in love. I had no idea who Margo Guryan was, but I loved her voice and the simplicity of the song.šļø I would listen to it over and over and over again on my drives home from my 9-5 office job. I was living in Richmond, VA at the time and was the most depressed I had been in my whole life. Almost every drive home from work I would cry, except the days when I turned on Why Do I Cry lol. I remember driving home and it was drizzling a bit, i sang along, (im a horrible singer) i would sing a harmony ina lower key and i thought it sounded pretty good (maybe one day i can cover this and sing with someone) a lot of the times when i listen to music i imagine a āmusic videoā in my mind. She sings about only getting to spend one day a week with her lover. I visualized this fictional couple in my head laughing and loving and dancing around an apartment. I could go more in depth, but I'm not very good at expressing my ideas in a way that makes sense lol anyways so so beautifulā¦ā£ļøš§ļøššøI will write about Margoās life eventually, but for no,w here are my thoughts #badasssĀ š¤©š¼

Old Sufjan B side, one of my favorites. I return to this video a lot, a fanmade slice of life gem from 2006. feels exactly like growing up in rural Montana, I donāt think Iāve seen anything that transports me in quite the same way.

It was the song my parents played for each other when I was little so Iāve always loved it. Theyāre not together anymore so sometimes its sad to reminisce on, but thereās no other love song that compares for me.

This place feels frozen in time in a charming way with a tinge of liminal space aesthetic. The nostalgic candies and toys make it feel familiar to me but only because I remember the stories from my mom and grandma's childhoods. This place carries a ton of specialty drinks and even offers an option of crafting your own soda with tons of syrup flavors to choose from. I'm still working on my perfect soda flavor combination. I'm recommending Galcoās not just for the vibe but for their sandwiches! Being from the east coast (new jersey, philly, new york) ive become a lowkey (hoagie) sandwich snob. The bread is my first priority and the bread here is the perfect texture. I really enjoy the Turkey Blockbuster without mustard and a bag of salt and vinegar chips.

I like to think Audre Lorde is one of my guardian angels. She has left so many road maps that help me navigate through this life. One of my favorite quotes by her from her essay Poetry is not a luxury - ā The white fathers told us, I think therefore I am; and the black mothers in each of us -the poet- whispers in our dreams, I feel therefore I can be free.ā

Even if you never make it past the cover of this book by Bessel Van der Kolk, there is healing in the title. it's a great reminder to listen to your body. Our bodies remember even when our brains forget. Take it easy when you can. cook a meal for yourself, go all out with the plating too. be detailed. pay attention. Breathe
