Songs for May 9
Act 1: Father John Misty – “Nancy From Now On”
Nothing says ‘How did I end up asleep on my friend’s porch?’ quite like a Father John Misty song.
Act 2: The Fray – “How to Save a Life”
Walk home. Reread your texts from the day before. Grieve.
Act 3: Tierra Whack – “Only Child”
Make mean eye contact at a CTB employee because you’ve just about had it!
Sometimes a person can change your life without even knowing how much they have impacted you. I want to talk about one such person who kept me calm as I was rushed to the emergency room with my arm bleeding and my body and dress splattered with red. When my friends called 911 after I tried to commit suicide, there was one EMT responder, a woman, who I will be forever be grateful towards. She doesn’t know the effect her words had on me, but I wish I could tell her. As I was being transported to the hospital, I told her what had happened to me and about my flashbacks.
