End of 2025
Instead of having a complicated end of the year recap, I’m thinking of writing a piece on Easy to Fall in Love by Olivia Dean to close out 2025. This year has been extremely loud, so I shouldn’t summarize it with a list of achievements (most of my achievement this year were quite dark). I’m picking a song, a softer option to close 2025. So Easy (To Fall In Love) I first heard this song on the radio in December while I was driving to work. The music was jazzy, warm, but the welcoming didn't immediately hit me. It was different. Most of the songs I listen to nowadays are easy grabs. Those sounded lazy to me, but I listened to them. This song was no check the box for unoriginal songs. It was different. I had forgotten about the first time I heard the song. I heard it again, this time in the middle of traffic on my way back to work, and the road was jammed, my mind tired. A feeling, albeit simple, was visiting my heart once again. This feeling was time away from the road and time list...
