I had a bit of an epiphany while driving in my car listening to this song today-
As I was listening to the admittedly corny lyrics, it got me thinking about where my life was exactly one year ago.
I've always thought the concept of hindsight to be a halfway silly one; I picture someone who's been walking along a winding path pulling spectacles out of their back pocket as they turn around to peer at the road they're leaving behind. Weirdo mental image or not, it's always crazy to me how much perspective I gain from this hindsight. As I was contemplating my mental and emotional state just 12 short months ago, it struck me how much more vivid my life has become since then. It's like my perspective was being shielded by an Instagram filter, one of the bad ones you never use like Brannan, because it makes any picture blurry and dark and ugly. That filter has been ripped down, painstakingly torn apart piece by piece and my inexpressible gratitude to the catalysts of that process.
Anyway, enough f e e l i n g s already. Another song that was blasting in my car all night (and also totally rings true for my life, of course) is this one-
Fist pumps for Florence, it is indeed always darkest before the dawn.
And the happiest of snow times to those who may or may not read this, it is shaping to be an excellent blizzard of a weekend.
XOXX
