Music: The Ultimate Introvert Playlist

Butterflies, it looks like my recent weekend trip to Dallas will be my last adventure for awhile since COVID-19 is shutting everything down and strict social distancing guidelines are now in place, forcing everyone into self-isolation. While this time of quarantine may be a completely different experience for everyone, I recommend celebrating alone time and embracing this time of semi-introvertism as a time for self-discovery. 

Ironically, it’s National Optimism Month and this week is National Introverts Week so cheer up music lovers and check out this multi-decade chronological list of some of the best songs of all time about embracing alone time below...

Music: The Music Walk of Fame Honors Amy Winehouse

The Music Walk of Fame recently honored the legacy of Amy Winehouse by dedicating a space on the Music Walk of Fame for the music icon in Camden.

There is also a life-sized bronze statue of Amy Winehouse in Camden’s Stables Market, not far from Amy’s old apartment. The statue was designed and created by artist Scott Eaton and features Amy’s signature beehive hairstyle.

‘00s Music Spotlight: You’re Beautiful by James Blunt

Butterflies, this song was out long before I started sharing my world with you guys but it definitely would’ve made my list of best songs of 2004. This song was released on English singer-songwriter James Blunt’s  Back to Bedlam album is definitely one of the best songs of the 2000s. Also, he’s on tour this year so if you’re a fan...go check him out!

My Favorite Lyrics from the Track:

My life is brilliant, My love is pure.
I won't lose no sleep on that, 'Cause I've got a plan.
She could see from my face that I was, Fuckin' high.
You're beautiful, it's true.

Music: The Ultimate Positive Vibes Playlist

Butterflies, did you know that March is National Optimism Month? Personally, I’m usually more pessimistic than optimistic because life has definitely traumatized me, but when I think about the pursuit of happiness, being optimistic is really the only way one can find their true happiness and radiate positivity. Being optimistic not only helps build up your perseverance to life obstacles, it also kind of gives you something to believe in. Being pessimistic or cynical is not a bad thing, in this crazy world it’s actually best to keep some kind of guard up, but when I need to I often find the boost of positivity I need to get by in a book or by listening to music. 

Below is a list of some of the most optimistic songs I know. As new tracks are released or discovered, this list will be updated annually. Enjoy!
