certainly uncertain

I recompiled my playlist today and put on an identical mix that I'd made about eight years ago when I first tasted the air of independence. One which I walked the busy streets with, danced in the rush hour crowd with, one where my heart fluttering to and placed my hopes on. It was a mix that geared me up for my journey. It was a mix I hadn't listened to in eight years. Not only had it brought me back "home", it brought me back to myself. The mix was irrevocably me, and I couldn't believe how long it has been since I've felt like this. Like a hug from an old friend, or an exhale or sigh of relief. And with that, I've come to terms with the past few years and its many painful trials, realizations, and changes within and without. Puts me at ease, and brings me a peace I thought I'd lost. Yes music CAN do that.

The mix was named "Certain Days" for uncertain days.
