lately i’ve been thinking about the path by lorde.

i could say that this letter is going to turn into a how-to listicle with 3 easy steps but that wouldn’t be honest and anyway, the most honest thing i could say is that i’d rather write other things. . .

when i think about how this song applies to my life, i can picture the distance between Point A and Point B. . .

i can imagine how much time and effort it might take to traverse the distance between the two spaces. . .

but i have trouble seeing the individual steps. . .

it often feels like I’m trying to walk in the dark but i don’t have the terrain memorized. . .

and i’m stumbling through the dark woods of desire. . .

my favorite part of the song is when lorde sings:

i just hope the sun will show us the path

i hope it will too.

interested in this kind of magic? come write with me.
