Music is my internal metronome. During times of disjunction and displacement, when nothing but uncertainty stares back at me with its large, deep, black eyes, I find myself turning to music time after time. When feeling overwhelmed, the songs tell me to sink into my emotions and to give myself time to fully process everything. Music has always helped to remind me of all of the incredible (and sometimes not so incredible) things that I’ve endured on and off the hill that have made me into who I am today.

He is always discovering, always listening, and sometimes letting himself fall inside the music completely—giving way to it.

Picture this: it’s 2001. The Canadian tuxedo is more than just a modest party gimmick, and your phone is bigger and heavier than your heart. The world is wearing one large, gaudy, glittery party hat (until 2008, but that’s a story history can tell itself). And we would be too, if most of us hadn't just started walking proficiently.

For me, music is a close friend whispering a story to you late at night in bed. You know you’re exhausted but you stay up and listen to the stories in the dark anyway.

Happy Friday! The clock strikes 11 pm. You’ve been dancing, doing that weird sway and point-at-your-friend-while-mouthing-the-lyrics thing for a bit. It’s your sophomore year roommate’s housemate’s birthday and you felt comfortable enough with the Facebook invite list to show up fairly “early.”
