The start of spring is just a few days away. Personally, I’ve already started to feel the change in the air, in both good and bad ways. The air is crisp, days are longer and warmer, but my seasonal allergies are worse, and I’m aware of when I forget to take my daily Zyrtec.
I’ve never been a huge fan of spring as a season. I love summer, and the winter holidays. I always felt like spring was just another season to slog through until I got to the one I really liked. Since moving to the east coast, my perception of the seasons has changed. I know everyone likes to rag on California for not having seasons, but I’d argue if you lived there long enough, you’d gain a concept of seasonality that just looks and feels different. But seasons on the east coast are stark. The budding of spring is real and when you come out of a bitter winter, a little glimmer of warmth is something to rejoice in, something to cling to with all your might.
So, today with all this in mind, I share a little playlist to help capture and capitalize on the bits of warmth, sun, and good moods that come with ushering in of a new season.
I’m sure after I write all of this, we’ll have another week of bitter cold before it actually starts turning warm. C'est le printemps!
On a related note, I am taking commissions for new playlist ideas. Please send me your prompts, weird and wonderous!
