Music

I remember hearing somewhere that the music that we listened to in high school would be the music we would love for the rest of our lives. After a stressful day of work and a bike ride in the rain, I knew i just wanted a hot shower and to listen to some Jewel- she was one of the first concerts I went to, at red rocks even! I guess I've found this to be true as I have never felt as starstruck as the night my babysitter's friend told me that she had seen jewel play live at a coffee shop while Jewel was still living out of her car.

The music we listened to in high school was the music that would shape the rest of our lives because we listened to this music in our most care-free self-expresive days. Life as an adult gets rough, but when we were in high school with few responsibilities we could get away with the daunting fashion experiments, raging opinions with no anxieties. I guess that's why I've come to love the writings of the Style Rookie, she loves all the films I loved in my angst-filled high school years and has found a way to express those in high fashion- mixing my current ideas of what is stylish with my personal guilty pleasures that still linger. Crushes on Leonardo DeCaprio in Romeo and Juliet, gseeing Garbage in concert, and late night coffee/or ice cream shops with deep conversations with friends. The music that we love the most is that which transports us back to this place.
