Now it is September and the web is woven.
The web is woven and you have to wear it.

Wallace Stevens, “The Dwarf,” The Collected Poems of Wallace Stevens

I remember how I felt on the first of September, when I felt the slightest inkling of a breeze in the otherwise scorching New Orleans heat. It felt like a new beginning, an awakening, a rebirth. The past couple months have truly tested me, challenging both my strength and my sanity. I went through a breakup, my hardest one yet, and I lost several people who are very important to me. For the past two months I have grieved many losses, and I am still grieving. But with that first September breeze has come growth and acceptance, a windy path that I continue to journey along.

This playlist consists of a handful of songs that have served as my soundtrack to this bittersweet month. This playlist consists of hellos and goodbyes and I hope I see you soons. Late night talks with new people, crossing streets to avoid certain houses, yearning for a glimpse to remind me that it wasn’t just a dream after all.

ive been sad for ten weeks straight
 i wish i did not have to wait
 for life to move at such slow rates
 i cant help but feel desolate
 
my mind and i go toe to toe
 cause i cant know whats not been shown
 i tend to not go with the flow
 scared to get caught in undertows
