About a year ago I went to work with Ben (he's a barista) with the intention of writing a whole short story during his shift before we went back home. I was in the sort of writing mood which required music but I was tired of everything I had a playlist for so I went looking for something new. Spotify suggested John Denver based on my previous musical choices. I had heard Rocky Mountain High before because my Arabic grandfather is the biggest country music lover I know.

I started with the Best Hits album. Take Me Home, Country Roads was the first track and I was instantly in love. I wrote the whole short story that afternoon listening to that album -- particularly to that song -- and watching my man at work. The lyrics to the song struck me and invoked that nostalgia that comes whenever I think of home.
So last night, Ben and I were sitting in my living room after he'd gotten off work. It had been a bit of a stressful day and we didn't feel like doing or watching anything. Ben pulled up his Spotify and started playing that song from my playlist. Hearing that song made me super happy because I hadn't heard it in a long time and it reminded me of when I wrote a short story while sitting with Ben at work.
Love,
M
