are you aware the shape i'm in? my hands they shake, my head it spins.

hmmmm.
i'm having difficulty expressing what i want to say, pretty much entirely from lack of sleep, which i don't recommend.
well...not that i'd go back and do this week a different way. but.
okay. firstly, i am eternally grateful Tucker B. Johnson is my friend. because i adore him, completely, overall, AND last night, he changed my life a little...but seriously.
i must first explain.
my dear friends came up with this idea that we should start having "listening parties" in which we sit/lay down and listen to an entire album, from beginning to end, with no talking. just appreciating the music that these artist took time to write, the lyrics they made, and the overall idea/theme of the album.
Tucker was the first to host, and did the whole thing so beautifully...i was reminded why music is so important to me...for so many reasons. and his album: the avett brothers, i and love and you.
i totally cried the second half of the album. an activity i think pretty much everyone that reads this knows i participate in probably too often.
but.
it was a beautiful experience.

also, it was SO perfect cause i TOTALLY (totes) had a discussion with a certain someone about how important it is to tell people we love them the day before.
WIN.

watch this. please.

awesomeness

and if you can take the time...listen to the album. the whooole thing.
let it change your life a little. :)
