The Last Goodbye - Odesza, Bettye LaVette

This track saved me last night.

I was driving home and it came on and I felt…everything.

And it felt so good.

This move is beginning to feel hard. I’m living in a new space without my old things to make it feel like home. I have amazing friends and a friendly new city but I don’t have my own space where I can just…be. I don’t have space where I can think. Where I can explore. Where I can create. Where I can write.

But maybe that’s all bullshit.

Maybe I can’t sit and watch TV on the couch, or work at my desk, or cook a meal by myself. But I can sure as fuck think. I can sure as fuck explore. I can sure as fuck create. And I can sure as fuck write. I can sure as fuck do all the things that really matter. And maybe I can realize how to do all of those things when I’m uncomfortable. Because comfort doesn’t equal beauty. And sometimes the most beautiful things can come from a lack of comfort.

And sometimes it takes the most beautiful track to remind us of that.
