The soundtrack of my life

At long last, my triumphant personal return to blogging (it's only been nine months)! I originally intended to publish this on my birthday...but I'm lazy. One of these years I'll grow up and get my act together! Perhaps I'm turning cynical in my old age (ha!), but it's getting harder to acknowledge these special days. The common theme on my birthday weekend was good friends and a loving family, and they all fought to remind me this day holds significance!

Music is a lens in which life can be viewed a few different ways. It can be the companion to heartache, the bounce in your step, the stirring in your innermost you. As I look back on my 23 full years, these are the songs that would go on my All-Time Life Playlist, so-to-speak. They are the best combination of my personal favorite songs, while also being applicable or special in my journey thus far. Enjoy!
