I love Winter. I appreciate the depth it adds to life and the space around us, the experience of survival, and the way it forces our recognition of being part of something larger and outside of our control, but Winters can be rough. Winter has always been a test for the living. It can grind away at your body and spirit and make the natural rhythm of your lows even lower. The overcast skies. The dead foliage. The biting wind. The cold. The dark. The cold and the dark.
The time change is always the hardest part for me (did I mention the cold and the dark?), which is why I created my "it's cold and and dark outside (and I fear it will soon want to come within)" playlist. It helps hold my hand through the initial seasonal change, and then stays in a steady rotation to keep the length of the season from really starting to wear away at me (but at least now the days are steadily getting longer - a much needed mental shift!)
They talk about winterizing your home and your body, but what about winterizing your mind? I think a good playlist is an essential part of this! Anyway, if you're looking for sunny and happy songs, these aren't them. I like songs that commiserate rather than compensate.

There’s something sooooo lovely about playlists. Like, I think all of us, deep down, are scared of disappearing forever and well, these might be, so far, the only things of mine I want to stick around for people to remember me by, after I turn to little specks of dust forever. It’s so lovely. Truly. I love that someone might be listening to songs I think about when I think of them. I love that I get to go deep inside my mess of a mindscape with my little headphones on. I love when someone shares a bit of their souls via other people’s pieces of soul. It’s so lovely. Anyway, here’s my fall playlist.

my chameleon died this morning and i buried him in my mom’s backyard. i had a lot of ladders in his cage, he seemed to really like to zip around on em. it was hard to see him lose mobility in his old age, but i like to remember him as a climber.
rest in peace mr. princess
