I’m writing from Brooklyn where I will spend the week, on a stranger’s bed, with that memory foam that reminds me that my life at home in Toronto is much simpler. I’m thinking about my plants at home, mostly, and if anyone has watered them. I’m also thinking about my boyfriend (and my best friend) who is somewhere in Minneapolis playing songs and worrying about me. But mostly, I know he’s proud of me and I think that gives me courage to walk around Brooklyn like I have any fucking clue where I’m going (geographically, and professionally), and manage to find my way.
Here’s a collection of songs that encapsulate this season of my life back in Toronto as a postcard to the one friend I wish was there.
