Spotify to save the day

Posted on by

The PHP 129 I spend every month for Spotify is well worth it compared to the subscription I pay for iFlix (the person who used to watch it is gone) and Viu (haven’t had time) since I use Spotify everyday. Every single day.

Especially now.

It gives me the ability to create a playlist instead of burning cd compilations of all the heartbreak songs I can get my hands on. Or mixed tapes, to be really so ’90s about it.

Here’s the playlist I am creating for this extraordinary time. A mix of really old school songs with new ones.

Then a friend sent me this podcast of an advice column published by the The Boston Globe, which I had been listening to the entire night. Really educational and healing as well.

Here’s a show for you… S1E1: Getting Under to Get Over episode of Love Letters https://open.spotify.com/episode/0ho8z2KnlCjS3nbvpcLQIk?si=e2BQyQzFTOKsJnul2eA4lA

When you’re in dire straits and in desperate need, you tend to imagine things that aren’t really there. And then when you reach what you thought was an oasis, reality suddenly slaps you that your mind was just playing a cruel trick on you. That there was nothing there really–just endless sand. Then you laugh hysterically at yourself for being such a fool.
