Bri’s Apocalyptic Pop-tail

Like many, I’ve been struggling to find a way to be creative lately. Today I wrote for the first time in a month and it felt wonderful. The words didn’t matter, they weren’t great but they were a beginning of something. It was prompted by listening to the new Fiona Apple album, “Fetch The Bolt Cutters”.

In college, I’d fall asleep listening to Fiona on my beat up portable CD player. She was angry and so was I although I couldn’t always say why. I’m angry now, too. It feels good to connect my feelings to music in a way that feels healthy.

So, I made a mixed tape. If you have Amazon Prime, you are welcome to use it:
