Whew, the music. Music is what has literally kept me here, for so much of my life. The year before I turned 50, I took a long walk down memory lane by listening to my 80s playlist, and then my 90s one. I was really struggling with hitting that big number, and I did a lot of reflection. A lot of crying, if I'm being honest. I swear it helped, it was cathartic. This was such a lovely read, Michele. Thank you for letting the light in, we desperately need it. 🤍

I see you, friend. Music has been there for me at so many different times of my life. Almost any song will take me back to that person or that place or that feeling. Thank you for being here to encourage me to keep writing. Some days are easier than others. 💙
