Playlist: Between the Stars
And finally, I’m sending you off with a playlist of songs keeping me company during the recent rainy days and nights.
For me, music is always a precious and necessary reprieve, especially during the wet, windy, and gloomy season. While the pitter patters are often soothing, it’s joyous to have a melodic escape to bring color to the otherwise grey days. The right songs carry me, bring me warmth and coziness, or revive me through the drowsy drizzle.
Here’s what’s carrying me lately:
That’s a wrap on Sunday Candy #26!
As always, drop a comment, leave a like, or hit reply. I’m wondering, what’s resonating with you this week? What’s on your mind? Don’t be shy. Say hi. Hearing from you makes my day.
Love this week’s Sunday Candy header! How did you make all your colors melt and ripple like that? It reminds me of dripping paint on a canvas, or sidewalk chalk drawings washing away in the rain.
“I’m always surprised by how much of those someones I still carry with me…” I often find myself here too, and I like it - especially holding onto the someones that make us feel better and the someones that helped us grow. I too hope that those someones have a bit of us in them too. Could it be the closest thing we have to telepathy?
Sitting with the idealist and realist section.
Your section on constellations is beautiful, I feel the splendor!
And I’m sending you all the daydreams and sunbeams 🌞✨ Thanks for another week of tenderness <3
First, I really like your cover art today! I don’t know why, something about it makes me feel happy. I’m a big fan of your hand written notes. I haven’t thought about *if* my words have stuck with someone but when someone tells me something I said did stick with them (good or bad) it reminds me that we never know when what we’re saying is impacting someone. Now I want to look at the stars and wonder what those things could have been. Or maybe it’s easier to reflect on the words that have stuck with me. Another deep, thoughtful (and written) essay!
