it's summer, and the only thing that seems to appropriate while driving in a tank top and shorts with the sunroof open is country music. on a long drive recently i crowed the lyrics of Jo Dee Messina songs over the roar of the wind with all the windows down.

in contrast, i also love the ballads about lost love that mirror how i feel on more introspective, sentimental days. sometimes it's nice to rock out to independent-women-i-don't-need-you-anymore-and-i'll-never-look-back songs, while other times it feels indulgent to croon to myself about how much i really miss you, even though you will never hear me. 

as i run through the streets of other cities, i rely on the steady heartbeat beats to keep me going. like most people, i also make playlists in anticipation of concerts. 

the result is a crazy Spotify mish mash that would probably make people wonder if 15 different people were adding random playlists to my account.

i love summer time. my favorite time of year.
