You Say Goodbye

I seem to have a knack for making depressing playlists. After my Anti-Valentines Day post I received a few concerned emails and phone calls. Thanks for reading friends, and yes, I’m fine. I’m leaving Kingston very soon and cannot stop feeling all sentimental and melancholy. I can’t gush enough about my friends. My ugly apartment seems quite lovely these past few days. And I almost think I’m going to miss essay-writing at 4 a.m. But just like my favourite Beatle George Harrison said, all things must pass—this playlist is for goodbyes. And yes, there are some happy songs.
