Ah, another year, another playlist—or two. ;)
Love is multifaceted—never is it one dimensional, which is why I’ve probably gotten in the habit of making two lists now. Enjoy, my loves.
11th annual Valentine’s day playlist(s):
It takes guts to let go. Sometimes familiarity is easier to face than the unknown and sometimes a standstill doesn’t cut it anymore. What do you do? How do you work through countless emotions that blur your consciousness? Sometimes you just have to step back and accept that people change, things change. The Hardest Walk is a conversation about the pitfalls of love and falling out of love. What is love if not but a fleeting sense of emotion?

For those of you who haven’t been following along for the years I’ve done this playlist valentine game, I try to always make my playlists have stories or be conversations between lovers. In Lovefool. we discuss the way love can oftentimes be desperate or leave you in a sense of desperation because sometimes the feelings are just.too.much. Why do people like to play games? Why do you fall so deeply? Where do those dang butterflies even come from? Are you in love with love? All I know for sure is that love is messy. Love is breathtaking. Love is complicated. Love is extraordinary. Love is foolish. Love is everything—sometimes we feel it in every fiber of our being and other times it’s just fun for a while because we’re just passengers in this thing called life. Whatever it is for you, don’t let heartache get the best of you—because ain’t nobody got time for that.
