Playlist – Spring Feels 2018

In Alberta, we experience the four seasons in extremes and I feel they are reflected in my everyday life. Especially how I experience music.  In the spring and winter, I’m walking to work and have music in my ears for at least an hour everyday. In the summer, I’m listening at home – on the patio or with friends. Music helps me make sense of my feelings without thinking about them too much. My partner taught me that none of us should feel guilt about our emotions. It’s important to be aware of a feeling and then acknowledge it will pass.

Spring 2018 was a time of really living – there were extreme highs and lows. I got married. Family and friends came together and I’ve never felt more supported. Important people in my life are experiencing big life changes.  World news leaves our heads spinning. I’m being gentle and not ‘should-ing’ all over myself.

This year, I’ve created playlists for each of the seasons and when I listen back, I’m immediately recall the emotions of that time. Here’s my spring list – I hope you enjoy as much as I have.
