I used to believe my life would be brought to me by a manic pixie dream girl with road trips set to mix tapes and seven hour phone calls that end in watching the sunrise together. Turns out I have to make my own mix tapes. I am the road trip. I am the adventure. […]
Take time, rest, think it over: who do you really want to dance with? Which track should we put on? What genre? Trick question, every playlist from here on out is the drumming in your chest, the breath caught in your throat, the red velvet curtains opening on your dreams again. So sit this one […]
