"Music is life. That's why our hearts have beats." Certain songs have the ability to remind us of certain moments or events in our lives – some that make us smile, some that makes us sad, and some we would rather forget. We can all think of at least one song that, when we hear it, triggers an emotional response. Because of this deep connection we have with music, it is of no surprise that so many studies have shown how it can benefit our mental health. For me, after every significant heartache in my life, there was a musical artist or band that healed me through it.

We pin our #happiness to people, circumstances, feelings, and things; heck, even on our identity - who we think we are - and we hold on for dear life. Not only that, we also allow them to define us. We #stress about the idea of loosing them, in fact, the very idea sends us spiraling out of control. Ali Gerwe shares with us about the importance of letting go of our attachments. When we learn to let go, even just a lil bit, #freedom comes in. This is not an easy process, it is definitely not like ripping off a bandaid. It is committing to a day by day, moment to moment process of #growth and #transformation.

Grief comes in and out of our lives, in some shape or form, more than we would like in life. It’s hard to know how to navigate our feelings in the midst of such immense change, and it often can feel like you’re the only person experiencing what you're feeling. Sometimes, the wisdom of others who have been there before can help us see a glimpse of the light at the end of the tunnel. May my friend and fellow spiritual seeker, Adam Tutor, be one of those people for you.
