Everywhere i go there is music.  You almost cant go anywhere that doesn’t have it playing in the background.  It is as if our lives are a movie and the soundtrack is already there.  When I workout i listen to my workout mix, which is full of high energy, angry, or fast paced songs to motivate me.  the same goes for driving ironically I try to listen to slow music because i won’t speed as much.   I found myself this week making a playlist for what I would want to be my soundtrack for today through the day I leave for the Appalachian Trial,  especially the day I leave. I see an underlying theme in all these songs. Maybe that’s why I feel they best fit this moment. The songs I have right now are:
