Tuesday Tracks: What day is it again?

it’s not tuesday. yet, here is a tuesday track. life has been getting slightly better. and by that, i mean i have a place to live next week (yes), my brother is home again (YEEESSSS), and I’m working out again (yus).

I got in a bit of a fight with my mom today, and she reminded me that many people would crumble under what I’ve been through in the past 3 months. This isn’t a Aren’t-I-So-Amazing thing, but more of a reality check. when it’s happening to you, you don’t really think about anything other than “I need to get through this”. So I have been. It’s because of this, that my song this week is by Queen Bey. She keeps me going, cuz she’s the bomb-diggity.

Tuesday Tracks: Reclaiming Edition

I’ve been a bit MIA lately – sorry. Something major happened to me, and I’ve been dealing with that by watching lots of this:

I just watched this episode last night… actually.

by drinking lots of this:

mmm tea <3
from http://teaquiero.tumblr.com

and by doing lots of this:

his whole outfit is knitted. to be him one day…
subwayknitter.com

I *knew* he was badass…

 

 

What happened to me was not ohk. It also may have ruined a perfectly wonderful song for me. So I’m going to reclaim that song. I ran to it today. I had a dance party to it. I tapped my feet and painted my nails to it. I’m trying to remember why I love it, and strip away the part that makes me want to break down when I hear it.

somewhat in this style….

who doesn’t love Zooey?

Tuesday Tracks: Out of Character Edition

This week I’ve been feeling a bit weird… i can’t really explain it. I think I’m just stretching myself too thin. I need to work on that.

This is an amazing song by Dan Croll, a brilliant musician. Sometimes all we need is for someone to look deeply into our soul and say “hey. i like you” (in a platonic kind of way. or maybe not. but in this case platonic)

Tuesday Tracks: Affirming Edition

Today I had community group. It’s like bible study, but with an emphasis on growing as a community. We chatted about a lot, and I shared a lot. I love being real with people that (I hope) won’t hurt me intentionally. They affirmed that I am a positive person, and I love that.

 

So, to bring my positive spirit to you, I give you something that I pretty much do in my head every moment of every day: a daily affirmation.

Note: I know it’s not a song, but this is:

Tuesday Tracks: Illness edition

soooo I’m sick. I’ve had this weird head cold for about a month now, and it’s still not gone. glahfnenaksdw. That’s what I say when I’m sick and tired of being sick and tired.

On that note, here’s a breathtaking song from Mr. Fitzsimmons.

Tuesday Tracks: Motivation Edition

Today is the day. Today, I will start being a good great stellar student. I’ll do this by starting to study. I’ve been reading all the books I’ve supposed to (except for French. sorry, friend). I’ve been totally in love with all my English classes

It’s almost like I chose what I wanted to study or something… I love being grown up growing up.

But with growing up comes the reality that you no longer have to do anything if you don’t want to. You may have to deal with some pretty crummy consequences, but that’s up to you now.

so, here’s to my new vigour – this decision to work hard. As my wise friend Raff says, there’s only 1.5 months left until exams. that’s nothing… right?

Tuesday Tracks: Longing Edition

good morrow, friends. It’s currently 11:29pm (or 23:29 if you use my electronics), and it’s time for something crazy……… like saying morrow in the evening.

I’ve decided to start a new thing. it’s called Tuesday Tracks. Each week they’ll be a new theme and a song to follow suit. This weeks is: Longing.

Linked to my last post (and kinda my first post), I’m interested in relationships. I’ve been single for almost a year now, and am starting to think  I am might be ready to start seeing someone again. I’ve gone on dates, but an actual, real relationship is what I’m talking about. We’ll see where my path guides me. (aka: what kinda cute boys are around…)

Here’s this week’s song: To Whom It May Concern

When I was 12, my youth leader encouraged us to start writing letters to our husband. I did it, and have since written a few. I honestly have no idea where those letters are – I’d love to find them so I can laugh at young Caitlin, and probably wish that I had lived up to her expectations.

 

But that’s then, and this is now.  This is a song dedicated to my future love. Please enjoy.
