Grief in Music

I'm not an outwardly emotional person.

I'm outwardly logical and inwardly emotion.

When things don't make sense to me, I have a hard time logisticizing (is this even a word?) and grasping the concepts in order to gain closure. I ask questions, I obsess, and when it doesn't go my way, I grieve.

I'm sure that people across the board just assume that I'm difficult, dramatic, and desperate for attention.

I think they're wrong.

My process is unique, as everybody else's is, I'm sure.

I recently decided to refine my process to cope with the sudden onset of stinging heartache, and stumbled upon my long-lost passion for music of the Country genre. While many expect a little blonde chick like me to live by Disney songs with a few Broadway tunes thrown into the mix, my collection of artists is a tad more robust.

Ergo, here is a small except of my new Grieving Playlist:
