What Music I Listen To (and Why)

J.M.J.



Music has always been a huge part of my life. That's why I want to share some of my favorite songs with you and why I like them.

  1. The soundtrack from You've Got Mail ~ This is pretty much the cutest movie I've ever seen. I tried online dating once and it obviously didn't result in a marriage, but it's kind of exciting (and yes, sort of dangerous,) because you don't know exactly who's on the other side of the screen!
  2. State of Grace by Taylor Swift ~ Does she know that Catholics call the state of grace the condition of not having serious sin on your soul? 
  3. Casablanca soundtrack ~ this is the greatest movie with Ingrid Bergman and Humphrey Bogart. Classic doesn't even begin to describe it. It's iconic. 
  4. She's Got a Way by Billy Joel ~ I like this song for personal, wonderful reasons. Ask me about it sometime. ;)
  5. Anything by Josh Groban ~ that man has the voice of an angel. 
  6. My Soul Rejoices by Jackie Francois ~ if you ever want to be inspired, listen to her sing. She is living the joyous Catholic Christian life, and you can truly hear it in her voice.
  7. Frank Sinatra ~ ask me about it sometime. ;) This man sings about love like no other.
  8. Jack Johnson ~ I first heard his songs in the Curious George movie. He has a soothing voice that makes you feel like just chilling.
  9. Norah Jones ~ she fits into the jazz genre. Her range is rather similar to mine so I like singing things by her.
  10. Peaceful Piano playlist on Spotify ~ best playlist to feel relaxed and yet focused and peaceful all at once. I highly recommend this one, as I do all of these songs/artists/albums!
God bless you!

Lyrics Dissection: Scared To Be Lonely by Martin Garrix and Dua Lipa

+ J.M.J. It was great at the very start Hands on each other Couldn't stand to be far apart Closer the better This is the infatuation stage. Every relationship is exciting at the beginning. You want to be around each other all the time. Now we're picking fights And slamming doors Magnifying all our flaws And I wonder why Wonder what for Why we keep coming back for more Every healthy relationship has fights and disagreements. It matters how you solve them. Slamming doors isn't a great way to do that. But I will say, that a relationship will show all your flaws more than anything else will! This girl is questioning whether the relationship is worth it since they fight.  Is it just our bodies? Are we both losing our minds? Is the only reason you're holding me tonight 'Cause we're scared to be lonely? Do we need somebody Just to feel like we're alright? Is the only reason you're holding me tonight &#

I Got a Hair Trim

Yesterday, I got my hair trimmed. I hadn't done that since last December. My bangs were getting pretty long, and I got them cut to be blunt. My hair is pretty long (almost below my chest) and I just got it trimmed. I did the slightly choppy effect for some edge. I've never been wild about my hair. The most daring I've gotten is to dye my hair dark red, still a natural hue, but some people who knew me well could tell I'd dyed it. Still, though my hair's back to its natural color these days, it fluctuates from light to dark in the summer and winter months and people who haven't seen me in awhile think I've dyed it darker. Below is a picture that is kind of what I'm talking about, but it's from December of last year.

What My 30th Year of Life Has Been Like

  I'm turning 31 tomorrow. What has my 30th year of life been like? I'll tell you. I spent months in bed. I had pushed myself so hard for so long that this was all I could do. I received many treatments from multiple mental health professionals that were ineffective and damaging. Friends reached out to me and helped out during my darkest times. I advocated for myself and obtained an ADHD diagnosis. After receiving proper treatment for my ADHD, my depression, which I have recurrently experienced severely since at least the age of 12, went away. I met a group of women who also care deeply about social justice issues. I had a sleep study done, and while I was diagnosed with mild sleep apnea that existed only while sleeping on my back, I was given no other reason why I wasn't sleeping well. I went to an ENT specialist and he found that I had a very severely deviated septum and enlarged turbinates. With surgery, this was corrected and I can now breathe through my nose.  While re
